The Slavery Of Fear Had Made Men

The Study Of Theology, As It Stands In Christian Churches, Is The Study Of Nothing; It Is Founded On Nothing; It Rests On No Principles; It Proceeds By No Authorities; It Has No Data; It Can Demonstrate Nothing; And It Admits Of No Conclusion.

It Is With A Pious Fraud As With A Bad Action; It Begets A Calamitous Necessity Of Going On.

But Though Every Created Thing Is, In This Sense, A Mystery, The Word Mystery Cannot Be Applied To Moral Truth, Any More Than Obscurity Can Be Applied To Light. ... Mystery Is The Antagonist Of Truth. It Is A Fog Of Human Invention, That Obscures Truth, And Represents It In Distortion. Truth Never Envelops Itself In Mystery, And The Mystery In Which It Is At Any Time Enveloped Is The Work Of Its Antagonist, And Never Of Itself.

Oppression Is Often The Consequence, But Seldom Or Never The Means Of Riches.

The Bible Is A Book That Has Been Read More And Examined Less Than Any Book That Ever Existed.
