Your reprisal proves my point beyond any doubt! Any person can read your trash from that fellow and compare it to the scholarly humanitarian writings of Ingersoll and see your fellows verbal diarrhea for the runny crap it is. One example suffices:

Ingersoll:

"Must we believe, in order to be good and tender fathers and mothers, that because some "little children" mocked at an old man with a bald head, God -- the same God who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me" -- sent two she-bears out of the wood and tare forty-two of these babes? Think of the mothers that watched and waited for their children. Think of the wailing when these mangled ones were found, when they were brought back and pressed to the breasts of weeping women. What an amiable gentleman Mr. Elisha must have been."

Solon's comment...42 innocent children suffering an agonizing murder.

Your fellows rejoinder:


"Again, we've dealt with this before -- Ingersoll plays the emotional card of wailing mothers well enough, but the fact is that there probably were not any -- and that these kids were old enough to know better."

Probably not any?? None of the 42 children had mothers? Or all of them had mothers who did not care for their kids??

"and these kids were old enough to know better"??!!

What a stupid and gullible mug you are, Greg or e. To post crap like that from mindless shysters like that. Only a turd would disparage the genius and the humanity of Ingersoll.

After hearing Ingersoll speak, Mark Twain wrote to his wife saying: ""What an organ is human speech when it is employed by a master!"

From the encyclopedia:

"Ingersoll also praised the virtues of family and fireside. And he practiced what he preached. Contemporary sources say Ingersoll enjoyed almost idyllic contentment in family life. Opponents frequently despaired of finding anything to disparage in his personal life."

But religious fanatics hate him and call him a village idiot! This "village idiot" who is respected and regarded by the greatest and wisest of people and who sleeps with a clear conscience in Arlington Cemetery with full honours.
