Robert G. Ingersoll Quote

An honest god is the noblest work of man.... God has always resembled his
creators. He hated and loved what they hated and loved and he was invariably
found on the side of those in power.... Most of the gods were pleased with
sacrifice, and the smell of innocent blood has ever been considered a divine
perfume.
