Excerpt from The Bible of Nature; Or the Principles of Secularism: A Contribution to the Religion of the Future
The principles of that religion are revealed in the monitions of our normal instincts, and have never been Wholly efi'aced from the soul of man, but for long ages the consciousness of their purpose has been obscured by the mists of superstition and the systematic inculcation of baneful delusions. The first taste of alcohol revolts our normal instincts; nature protests against the incipience of a. Ruinous poison-vice but the fables of the Bacchus priests for centuries encouraged that vice and deified the genius of intemperance. Vice itself blushed to mention the immoralities (if the pagan gods Whose temples invited the worship of the heavenly-minded. Alters were erected to a goddess of lust, to a. God of wantonness, to a god of thieves.
That dynasty of scamp-gods was, at last, forced to abdicate, but only to yield their throne to a celestial Phalaris, a torture-god who cruelly punished the gratification of the most natural instincts, and fore doomed a vast plurality of his children to an eternity of horrid and hopeless torments. Every natural enjoyment was denounced as sinful. Every natural blessing was vilified as a curse in disguise. Mirth is the sunshine of the human mind, the love liest impulse of life's truest children yet the apostle of Antinaturalism promised his heaven to the gloomy world-despiser. Blessed are they that mourn. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily. Be af flicted, and mourn and weep let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness. Woe unto you that laugh. If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the importance of prioritizing our physical and mental well-being.

They argue that by embracing a Nature-guided approach to health, strength, chastity, temperance, skill, knowledge, independence, prudence, perseverance, and freethought, we can unlock our full potential and live more fulfilling lives. The book challenges traditional moral codes, debunks harmful myths, and provides practical guidance for achieving a more balanced and harmonious existence.
