BLUE GRASS BLADE
IL BLUE GRASS BLADE
Why is Christianity Popular?

moralizing is the Christian contention that
war and car"age the necessary promoters
of Individual or national advancement.
Peace has her victories not less renowned
than war; Sherman said war was HE'LL
and Freethinkers almost to a man agree with
him. Legalized slaughter is honorable. A
thousand Thus saith the Lord" cannot make
it otherwise. War has been the handmade
of Christianity down through the ages. 1t
is blood atonement" nationalized.
The Romsh church grants "indulgences."
The Protestant, if it does not grant in
dulgences teaches and proclaims that
"There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains"
And it is not here the explanation and the
answer to our query. Instead of letting
people down." Rationalism holds them up to
higher standard than popular theological
Christianity. It proffers no patent medicine
cure-all for crime or the criminal natures.
Laws, including the moral, are memorable
and no fictitious atonement, no mysti>
cal anasthetic administered by priest
or pope can absolve the transgressor or blot
out the results of his evil-doing, much less
can any blood of the innocent wash all his
guilt away"
For two thousand years Christianity has
been preaching and teaching its doctrine of
blood atonement and the remission of sns,'
and with what results? Not much account
is made of natural crimes, theft robbery,
murder, ETC., etc. 1t is the crime against the
Holy Ghost that can never be forgiven.
Rationalism enjoins and emphasizes justice
and the humanites, kindness to all living
things, here and now. 1t believes in making
this the 'higher life" And though it does not
dazzle the eye and tickle the ear of the UNI
AMI thoughtless it should be tho
hope and Joy and satisfaction of all who walk
in the light of the benefcient scientific

If An Answer Can Be Found We Shall Know
Why Rationalism Gets The Cold
Shoulder.
(By E. A. Fitch.)


The thing most surprising and | might
say most perplexing to those fully enamel
pated from the thralldom of theological SUI
perstition is why so many seemingly intelli-
gent people are either Indifferent or else
cling tenaciously to the old.
To the real Freethinker the contrast be-
tween the natural and the supernatural is
marked and so much to the credit of the
natural as to cause wonder and surprise that
any considerable numbe. of people could be
found that would discard the real and be sat-
isfied witch shadow.
In the full blaze of the Sciences, Astronomy,
Geology and Biology and after the advent of
these great apostles, Huxley and Tyndal and
Haeckel and Herbert Spencer. Now any one
with modicum eff observation and reason
could still be a devotee to the ghosts and
COLLINS of ingnorance and barbarism, is the
marvel of marvels. 1t is manhood enamored
of the twilight fairy tales, Ptolmaic Astron.
only after the demonstrations of Copernicus,
sun and stars revolving around the earth
after Galilee's great though 'rHeretical" dis
covery, fifth century ideals projecting their
shadow athwart the hozizon of the twentieth.
Has mysticism and superstition a stronger
hold and greater charm than the sensible
and sublime truths of Science? So it seems
at least, for comparatively the number is
small of those who are fain to stand in the
clear white light of knowl 'dge. All honor
to that noble few. Tn. praised and petted
majority only wiling to alb that the
earth is little roundish;" and they tell
you half confdentially that if you destroy
belief in the infallible book and faith in the
theological God you let people down and the
direst consequences will follow This too in
the face of the plainest fact that almost
every enbezzler, defalter and even murderer
is, so far as belief goes, Christian. Horace
Greeley once declared that "he did not say
every democrat was horse thief but he did
say that every Christian was a criminal but
it must BE a"'ntted by every air minded and
intelligent observer that great transgressors
are almost invariable theoretical Christians
more often perhaps Roman Catholic. Gillet
lately executed for the murder of Grace
Brown is an example. II is a very rare
tbing-an exceedingly rare thing to find a
criminal that is nationalist or Freethinker.
Humanitarianism is their distinguishing char
acteristic. Blood atonement' finds no favor
in thier code of belief. It is barbarism
to be discarded. Equally falacious and de-

maturity. (Socialism), but he has given us
too many for one feast.
Mr. Cake himself, has unconsciously
cracked this same nut wide open and exposed
its rottenness He states 1T took the savings
of years of hard labor as wageslave on my
part to buy piece OF Will land from the
United States Government
Here is food for thought How truthfuly
it portrays a condition of affairs that ought
not to be. .,hnI of the thousands who ale
likewise striving for piece OF land and
making virtual slaves IF themselves. Think
of the worry about debt, and the dread of
that mortgage. Think of the toll economy
and hardships. And if the goal is finally
reached, old age and broken health are usually
there also. Think of the many failures and
blasted hopes, and of the fact that it is
only because the country is new and land
cheap that success is possible. Consider that
as the land increases in value the struggle
grows fercer and fiercer, until the andless
must remain so. And then what of the
future?
In contrast will postulate a state of
civilization, where every child inherits an
equal right to all the resources of nature.
Where land is as free as water, ain and sun
shine And why not?
We are told its Utopian" Visionary
that we are "dreamers," that its too good
to be true" "too much like heaven etc.
Well my answer is, that this capitalist
system has so accustomed you to living in
hell, that you have grown to believe its your
portion.
Contention contributes to individual happi
ness. TO be satisfied, is to be at peace with
the world. But the contented slave never
struck for liberty, and those satisfied with the
old never searched for the new. 1t is the dis
contented who make progress. The dissatis-
fed who better human conditions.
Mr.. Cake seems to be one of the con-
tented evidently he is satisfied with present
conditions. He dwells sarcastically on the
term "wage-slave" and wants to know how
much his wage-slave is being robbed.
The exact amount is immaterial. And he
may not be the principal robber But the
fact remains that he expects to get more
value than he gives or he would not hire.

But don't think that because labor gets
