The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol. 02 (of 12) Dresden Edition—Lectures

"The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol. 02 (of 12)" by Robert Green Ingersoll is a compilation of 19th-century talks that challenge religious dogmas. The writings scrutinize biblical stories, notably those in the Pentateuch, advocating for reason and independent thought. Ingersoll champions the importance of allowing individuals to think freely, especially concerning religion. The author attacks the ignorance perpetuated by organized religion and claims it halts progress. The lectures encourage readers to challenge established beliefs with reason, suggesting errors in religious texts reveal a lack of divine origin, setting the stage for a series of critiques promoting intellectual freedom.
