Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

[Wenige sind imstande, von den Vorurteilen der Umgebung abweichende Meinungen gelassen auszusprechen; die Meisten sind sogar unfähig, überhaupt zu solchen Meinungen zu gelangen.]

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist

"and you can’t reason someone out of something they weren’t reasoned into"

Well guess the #FreeMason #FreeThinking men 250 years ago #NorthAmerica

couldn't #Reason #ReasonThinking their way out of the idea of a Supernatural #Jesus Approved #King

They did in fact reason their way out of The Bible. The name "Jesus" is not in Constitution or symbolism of the USA despite indoctrination by parents (not reasoned into) Bible book.

The pyramid is in Egypt, no USA Washington D.C.

WIST Quotations Mar 9

A quotation from Henry Commager

We cannot have a society half slave and half free; nor can we have thought half slave and half free. If we create an atmosphere in which men fear to think independently, inquire fearlessly, express themselves freely, we will in the end create the kind of society in which men no longer care to think independently or to inquire fearlessly.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1949-11-05), “What Ideas Are Safe?” Saturday Review
