Excerpt from The Evolution of Beliefs
Many years since a preacher Of the evangelical type, who had been informed by one Of his Christian members that I was an infidel, preached a sermon for my benefit.
Being at this time a little unsettled in my belief and Skeptical In my views Of the Bible form of relig ion, the effect Of the preacher's sermon has caused me to examine the subject Of many religions to fix on some true and unequivocal form of belief.
Otherwise, continuing to profess a belief in some thing, our consciousness apprehends as not true, or thus to make my trust unfaithful in its adherence to truth, I would yet have remained an infidel.
Although my belief was unsettled, it has not proven to be an illusion, for that is an idea presented to the mind's eye Of something that does not in reality exist.
Nor my belief has not been, in its form, that Of an hallucination; it was not the subject Of an illusion. Then my belief was Of a valid form. I believed in something tangible; but similar to all those who pro fess to be believers in Christianity, I had been held under the influence Of a delusion.
