All Religion on lettering

He Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, January Ga
Declaring all religions are on a totter-
ing foundation, Luther Burbank. the
great horticulturist, admits he is an
intidel.
In statement thought to have been
caused by the comment of his friend.
Henry Ford, on life and religion Mr..
Burbank says that AL religions of the
past and probably all of the future
will sooner or later become petrifed
forms instead of living helps to man.
kind. AS a scientist, | cannot help but
feel that all religions are on "a totter-
Ing foundation. None Is perfect or In
Spired.
THE idea that q good God would
send people to burning hell Is utterly
damnable to me. l don't want to have
anything to do with such a God.
Admits His Skepticism.
II do not believe what has been
served me to believe. l am a doubter
questioner, a skeptic. When It can
be proved to me that there is immor-
tality. that there is resurrection be-
yond the gates Of death. then will l
believe. Until then, no."
Mr.. Burbank'S S statement was con-
tatned in a copyrighted article in the
San Francisco Bulletin yesterday.
Mr.. Ford recently outlined his be-
liefs on life and religion in an inter
view in national magazine. The mo-
tor car manufacturers conception, as
expressed by a person closely In touch
with him, Is that we are put in this
world to gain experience, SO that this
experience will aid us in the future,
! because life does not begin here or
end here, and that what we call faith
, Is merely lost knowledge of how we
came 10 be here and where the spirit
goes after death.
Life goes on continually and this
earth may be just a clearing house
, among the great planets of the uni.
verse. he believes.
Mr.. Burbank contends that 1.-The uni.
verse is not big enough to contain per
petually all the human souls and the
other living beings that have been
here for their short span. A theory OF
personal resurrection or reinCarnation
of the Individual is untenable when we
but pause to consider the magnitude
of the idea.
Thinks Spirit Survives.
"On the contrary, | must believe
| that rather than the survival of all
we must look for survival only in the
spirit of the good we have done In
passing through.
Il do recognize the existence OF a
great universal power, a power which

LAS for Christ-well. He has been
most outrageously belied. His follow
ers have so garbled His words
and conduct that many of them nc
longer apply to present life. Christ
was an infidel of his day, be
cause he rebelled against the prevail
ing religion and government.
Il am a lover Of Christ as a man
and His works and all things that help
humanity, but, nevertheless, just as
He was an infidel then. l am an infidel
