Proposition 1

God.
Proposition 2
That the only reliable, demonstrable revelation ever given to man is derived from reason, observation and experience.
Proposition 3
That the world in which we live is governed by eternal, unchangeable physical laws; therefore, it is foolish and useless to pray to or worship the First Cause with a view of changing or modifying the laws that govern the Universe—man included.
Proposition 4
That the Laws of Moses which Jews and Christians claim to be an inspired production, is not only a purely human invention, but a very low grade of humanity at that.
Proposition 5
Whereas monogamy is the only lawful system of marriage recognized by all so-called Christian countries, and whereas the pagan empires of Greece and Rome arrived at this system while the nation which was supposed to get a special inspired law from God sanctioned polygamy; therefore, heathen nations without a divine revelation arrived at a better system of social laws than the nation which was supposed to have received a special divine revelation from God.
Proposition 6
That the Ten Commandments
