I was searching to find others who had come to similar conclusions as I had. I bought an old copy of "Ingersolls 44 Lectures" and devoured it, read it twice, underlining segments that I felt were profound. I even found an old portrait of him on the web, Photoshopped it, put "Ingersoll the Magnificent" under it and had it put on a T-shirt. Several friends and acquaintances, after seeing me in the shirt asked who Ingersoll was. I answered, "an old friend". Thank you so much for reminding me of the wonderful impact this man made on his world, and mine. When I left the faith, back in April of 2000, I soon discovered Ingersoll's writings.
