He declared he had "rather be on the upgrade with the descendants of the ape than be on the downgrade with Ad- am as representing the! degenerate son of God." He said that the Old Testament version of “a God of ven- geance" was not Christianity, but part of a pagan system. “We cannot adhere to fables in re- ligion any longer, for the young peo- ple of to-day are not going to believe what their grandparents did. The mind must contribute something to religion.-” "There is need of amew religion, if the church will not clean house of all its fetishes." he said. “The fun- damentalists in religion believe that they will attain happiness in the world to come, through the belief in the miraculous conception of’Christ, His death and ascension into heav- en.
