I'll be adding him to the characters covered in our upcoming documentary on religion and the founding of the United States. Most do not realize the critical importance of the thinkers of the Enlightenment and the birth of the United States, plus those who carried on the Age of Reason ideals forward in our history. I definitely want to film at the Ingersoll birth place museum also!Thomas Ellingwood Fortinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313431306413595879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339622291414876468.post-56059841569870981642021-06-04T14:21:52.982-07:002021-06-04T14:21:52.982-07:00Is this in book-form by chance?

My curiosity about this man was peaked when I heard a random quote of his that caught my ear while listening to information on bible codes and how they were discovered scientifically. The odd thing about my resulting feeling about this man was that I was left seriously wondering more if he wasn't more of a believer than he knew. I say that because of how strongly the inscription on his gravestone struck me. "Nothing is grander than to break chains from the bodies of men. Nothing nobler than to destroy the phantoms of the soul." In my opinion, an astounding paraphrasing of my favorite bible verse. Isa 58:5-7. And, summation of what true religion (according to the words of my king) is.FireColoredHorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742056057627255653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339622291414876468.post-55757140720796658242016-01-27T00:29:54.212-08:002016-01-27T00:29:54.212-08:00I became acquainted with Bob Ingersoll back in the...I became acquainted with Bob Ingersoll back in the 60's,when I found in a tiny used book store in Boston a copy of his lecture, "Some Mistakes of Moses," and he has been a friend of mine ever since. And now sir a question. There was once website which featured an Ingersoll Chronology, listing in great detail all his lecture dates, location and title of lecture delivered. It has since disappeared from the web. Have you any information on this , or can this invaluable record of Ingersoll's career be in some way restored? If not it is a terrible loss of painstaking research.Hal from Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269380007794592902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339622291414876468.post-48408705509023236702015-12-21T08:44:29.914-08:002015-12-21T08:44:29.914-08:00Thank you so much for this excellent biographical ...Thank you so much for this excellent biographical sketch of Robert G.
