Excerpt from The Triangle: A Series of Numbers Upon Three Theological Points; Enforced From Various Pulpits in the City of New-York
But, fellow citizens, it is not so much with their sentiments that I am disposed to contend, although they are sufficiently incorrect and erroneous it is with their horribly intolerant, bigoted, and persecuting spirit; against which every man should lift his voice, and proclaim his indignation. The holy fathers and friars of the inquisitorial commission Were never more vindictive or implacable. It comes in thunders and anathemas from their desks: in cants, whispers, and innuendoes among the throng: it comes larded with much holy grimace, and many sanctimonious sighs, for the credulous and pious; with much logical jargon and biblical criticism for smatterers; with spleen and gall enough, when the company has sufficient pride and malice to bear it; and with firebrands. For all the young foxes they can catch. When they have ex hausted their topics of argument, and that they can soon do, without a miracle, they resort to sarcasm and ridicule, and here their talents are wonderful: Her cules often comes in head and shoulders.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of religious persecution by tracing the evolution of religious doctrines back to their ancient roots in the broader context of Western Civilization. The author argues that the domination of extreme religious ideas in various time periods has been fueled primarily by an insatiable hunger for power and control. The author's objective in writing the text was to illustrate how the seeds of this aspiration for power and the desire for control over the minds of men have been present in religious practices for millennia and how they have ultimately led to the suppression of truth and the persecution of those who dare to challenge the dominant paradigms.
