Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters Addressed to Relatives and Friends: Chiefly in Reply to Arguments in Support of the Doctrine of the Trinity The days of torture, fire, and the sword, have, happily, almost entirely passed away. He who changes his religious opinions has not now, in Protestant countries at least, to fear the strong arm of ecclesiastical power, nor the civil law; no inquisition holds over our heads its rod of terror; no dungeons open to receive us; no "Form of Concord" is imposed upon us; no "Act of uniformity" binds us to submit to certain rites and ceremonies. But is there not a kind of persecution still enacted, which, though less extreme and violent, is quite as onerous, and no less difficult to bear? The days of proscription, slander, insult, and neglect, have by no means passed away. Cold greetings, averted looks, long and intimate friendships sundered in a moment, tell a mournful tale in respect to the toleration really exercised in this country, so proud of its civil and religious liberty, towards those who have conscientiously changed their opinions. Nor are these the only methods by which the spirit of unyielding intolerance is developed. Injurious suspicions; direct charges which would almost break the heart of the sufferer, did he not feel himself above their reach; the imputation of any and every motive but the real one; all these must be experienced and endured by one who feels it his duty to leave the ranks of popular or orthodox theology, commonly so called, and candidly avow his honest opinions. Many people do not seem to imagine, that one can honestly depart from the faith in which he has been educated.
