From what I've read this was published in a column Stan wrote in 1968 but haven't come across the full version yet. It's from a Stan's Soapbox column. I haven't been able to nail down which month of 1968 it appeared, but Snopes shows the whole column here: www.snopes.com/fact-check/stan-lee-condemn-bigotry/ |

“I think that science fiction … has a distinct therapeutic value because all of it has as its primary postulate that the world does change.” – Robert A. Heinlein (Third Annual World Science Fiction Convention, Denver, 1941)  |

I haven't been able to nail down which month of 1968 it appeared, but Snopes shows the whole column here: www.snopes.com/fact-check/stan-lee-condemn-bigotry/I remember that Soapbox! Just checked my comics and it's in FF #81 (Crystal joins the team), X-Men #50 (Steranko Lorna Dane cover), and Avengers #58 (Vizh joins the team). So, it's from Marvel comics on sale in September 1968. Note, in terms of cover dates most of the monthly titles on sale in Sep. 1968 were cover-dated December 1968, but there were also a handful that were cover-dated November 1968 (such as Avengers, X-Men, Thor, Daredevil, Sgt. Fury and Capt. Savage. Back then Marvel had a two-tier cover date system though the comics were released in the same month.) Here's a list of the Marvels on sale in Sep. 1968 courtesy of Mike's Newsstand. |

"The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema; the only thing they lacked was the sound of people talking and the noises. But this slight imperfection did not warrant the major changes that sound brought in… In many of the films now being made, there is very little cinema: they are mostly what I call 'photographs of people talking.' When we tell a story in cinema, we should resort to dialogue only when it’s impossible to do otherwise."
— Alfred Hitchcock

"The doctrine of 'inerrancy' is often referred to as a 'high view of scripture.' It is not. It’s a low-down dirty trick to play on the Bible and on anyone who tries to read it. Inerrancy is not a victimless crime. It chases some people away from the Bible and prevents others from reading it intelligently. I respect that this idea comes from a place of respect, but that is not where it leads. It leads to a profound disrespect for the Bible, and for those who seek to read it honestly. And, ultimately, it always shifts from being a claim about the Bible itself to being a claim about the person making that claim. After all, what good is an inerrant, infallible text without an inerrant, infallible reader, exponent and enforcer?"
— Fred Clark AKA Slacktivist

Zeena Krumbein: "Where'd you learn all this gospel?"
Stanton Carlisle: "In the orphanage. That's what they used to give us on Sunday after beating us black-and-blue all week. Then when I ran away, they threw me in the reform school. But that's where I got wise to myself. I let the chaplain save me, and got a parole in no time. Boy, how I went for salvation! Comes in kind of handy when you're in a jam."
-- Nightmare Alley (1947) (Jules Furthman, screenplay)
