Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Failure of Protestantism in New York, and Its Causes This little book says and proves that Protestantism is a failure in New York. Three answers have already been hurled at my head by the Theological Grannies in this neighborhood. "You are an infidel!" "You are a sensationalist!" "You are a failure yourself!" Quite true, dear grannies, from your point of view. But the answers are irrelevant. I might be an infidel with full grown horn, hoof and tail, and still Protestantism be a failure in New York, or I might be so supremely orthodox as to believe that Pope Loo XIII. is the scarlet woman of the Apocalypse, and that every man who differs with me in this view is a liar, a thief, a hypocrite, a brute or a Jesuit - and still Protestantism might be a failure in New York. Then, suppose I am a sensationalist. What of it? Truth is stranger than fiction, and nature more miraculous than miracle. The most sensational discoveries of this century have all been simple facts. A statement may be sensational, and its author a prophet or a clown, a philosopher or a fool, and yet it may be a fact. Again, it may be true that I am a failure - all the greater pity since I am a Protestant minister! This is not an answer. It is a confirmation. It is a confession. This is simply piling on the agony! While I dislike the business of these denominational worthies, which is simply the perpetuation of ignorance by the use of the printing press, I assure them of my kindliest personal feelings, and still hope for the best.
