About this Quote

This quote by Robert G. Ingersoll is a criticism of the function of faith in religion.

He thinks that theology has been utilized to send out the best individuals to hell and the worst people to paradise, which is an oppression. He is suggesting that religious beliefs should be based on something aside from theology, such as morality and principles. He thinks that religion ought to be based upon the concept of doing excellent and assisting others, instead of on a set of rules and policies. He is advocating for a more compassionate and understanding technique to faith, one that does not rely on theology to identify who is worthy of going to heaven.
