Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Christianity: A Civilized Heathenism The question which is beginning to agitate the religious world is not whether we shall continue to recite damnatory clauses in our Athanasian Creed, but whether there is any creed whatever that is worth reciting; not whether this form of Christianity is preferable to that, but whether all forms of Christianity pretending to come from God through Christ are not gross impositions from beginning to end. No man who reads a newspaper, or listens to a conversation in his common room or at his club, will consent to place the impending controversy on any narrower basis. Revealed religion is on its trial before the world, not for some trifling blemishes which a little mild correction may mend, but for its very life; and if the clergy, its natural defenders, can show no intelligible reason why it should stand, common-sense, in this country at least, will very speedily decide upon its merits, after a somewhat rough-and-ready fashion. Christianity is one of two things; and the whole matter before us resolves itself into the question, which of these two things it is.
