Has a man the right to express his honest thought? How has the church in every age, when in authority, defended itself? Always by a statue against blasphemy, against argument, against free speech. And there never was such a statute that did not stain the book that it was in, and that did not certify to the savagery of the man that passed it. Never. By making a statute, and by defining blasphemy, the church sought to prevent discussion, sought to prevent argument, sought to prevent a man giving his honest opinion. Certainly, a tenet, a doctrine, a dogma, is safe when hedged about by a statute that prevents your speaking against it. In the silence of slavery it exists. It lives because lips are locked. It lives because men are slaves. No man can blaspheme a book. No man can commit a blasphemy by telling his honest thought. No man can blaspheme a God, or a Holy Ghost, or a Son of God. The Infinite cannot be blasphemed.

When you buy a used car, you might want to believe what the salesman is saying: “So much car for so little money!” And it takes work to be sceptical. You have to know something about cars, and it’s unpleasant if the salesman gets angry. Even so, you recognize that the salesman might have a motive to shade the truth, and you’ve heard of other people being taken in. So you kick the tyres, look under the hood, go for a test drive, ask questions. You might bring along a mechanically inclined friend. You know some scepticism is required and why. If you don’t exercise some minimal scepticism, if you have an absolutely untrammelled gullibility, there’s a price you’ll have to pay later when you find the car is duff.
