- 434: Emily Dickinson
- Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson was born and raised in a conventional New England home in the Mid-Eighteenth Century. Her entire family was Christian, but she alone abandoned their religion and opposed the Church. She, like many of her peers, had rejected the rigid traditional views in favor of adopting the new transcendental perspective. This emergence of Transcendentalism, Dickinson’s restrictive home life, her refusal to conform, and the smothering control of institutional religion contributed to Emily Dickinson’s attitudes toward life, death, and spirituality. Massachusetts before the transcendental period was the center of religious customs founded by the Puritans. After the Great Awakenings ...

- 439: Christianity
- Christianity Christianity is a religion in which events are claimed to have occured but which can never be proved. Those who practice it live by different morals than are preached by the most holy texts. It is an institution in which the most holy scripture is contradictory, and wherein the supreme being, by the very definition, cannot exist. Christianity is, therefore, a fundamentally flawed religion. According to the Bible, events have occured which are even more miraculous than the resurection of Jesus Christ. Events such as the stopping of the sun by Joshua (Joshua 10 ... shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master." (Genesis 3:16).
