Excerpt from The Theologies
That these theologies are not soon to disappear should, in stead of being allowed to discourage us, but serve to make us more impatient to have the right and effectual blows struck at them. They, who are only pruning their branches, should be wielding axes upon their roots. They, who are at work to make them better, should be at work to overturn them from their lowest foundations. Some of these would, for conscience' sake, retain the theological systems, were they but modified here and there. Others, however, of these superficial workers, would be glad to be more thorough, could they believe that they would thereby hasten the overthrow of these systems. They would thereby hasten it. Going for a whole truth is more effective than going for a part of one - the whole one being the more obvious, the more commanding of approbation, and, every way, the more powerful and influential. On this principle the public mind is far better prepared for the entire flinging away than for the partial retention of the theologies.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book delves into the history and nature of theologies, questioning their long-held authority over human thought and behavior. The author argues that these belief systems, often rooted in ancient mythologies, have hindered the progress of true religion, which they propose is rooted in nature and reason. The book traces the evolution of theological ideas, from their origins in primitive superstition to their widespread influence in contemporary society. By examining the negative consequences of these beliefs, such as persecution, oppression, and the suppression of scientific inquiry, the author makes a compelling case for the urgent need to move beyond the confines of theological dogma. The book concludes with an inspiring vision of a future where religion is freed from superstition and fear, replaced by a rational, compassionate worldview that embraces the true potential of humanity.
