" "Another set of preachers tells their congregations that God predestinated and selected from all eternity, a certain number to be saved. And a certain number to be damned eternally. If this were true, the day of Judgment is past; their preaching is in vain, and they had better work at some useful calling for their livelihood.
Thomas Paine (February 9, 1737 [O.S. January 29, 1736] – 8 June 1809) was a British-American political writer, theorist, and activist who had a great influence on the thoughts and ideas which led to the American Revolution and the United States Declaration of Independence. He wrote three of the most influential and controversial works of the 18th Century: Common Sense, Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason. His ideas reflected Enlightenment-era ideals of transnational human rights.

The resurrection and ascension, supposing them to have taken place, admitted of public and ocular demonstration, like that of the ascension of a balloon, or the sun at noon day, to all Jerusalem at least.

Moloch'tan modern Tanrı iradesi anlayışına kadar geçen süre içinde ortaya çıkan bozulmalar ve eski mitolojilerdeki insan kurban edilmesinden yaratıcıya adanan Hıristiyan kurbanlarına kadar tüm uygulamalar vahiy dini adı verilen sistemi kabul etmekle ortaya çıkmıştır. Tüm bu kötülük ve dayatmaları engellemenin en etkili yolu, Yaratılışın kitabındaki mesajlardan başkasını kabul etmemek ve Yaratılışı Tanrı'nın geçmiş ya da gelecekteki tek doğru ve gerçek kelamı olarak kabul etmektir; bunun dışında Tanrı Kelamı olarak adlandırılan her şey uydurma ve dayatmadır.
