Ingersoll on The HOLY BIBLE, from the Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Volume 3, Lecture 9

by Robert G. Ingersoll

Robert G. Ingersoll, known as 'the greatest infidel' of the 19th century, delivers a powerful and controversial lecture challenging the authority and validity of the Bible. Steeped in religion as a child by his Baptist preacher father, Ingersoll, through a combination of reason and passion, argues against what he perceives as the hypocrisy, judgment, hatred, and fear embedded within the Bible and the Christian faith. He critiques the biblical narratives, moral pronouncements, and social implications, advocating for a more humane and rational approach to life and ethics. The lecture is a potent statement against religious dogma, a call for freethought, and a defense of human reason and liberty.
