Robert Green Ingersoll, lawyer and orator

It has always seemed absurd to suppose that a god would choose for his companions, during all eternity, the dear souls whose highest and only ambition is to obey. -Robert Green Ingersoll, lawyer and orator (1833-1899)

It is evident that Mr. Ingersoll didn't know the true God, but only was acquainted with some false representations, of which there are many abroad in the world, in his "Golden Age of Freethought" as in our own. Goodness is attractive, and as God is infinitely good, he is infinitely attractive. God is completely loving and incapable of any evil, so obedience to him is the only reasonable way to live.
