We Find It Hard To Picture To Ourselves The State Of Mind Of A Man Of Older Days Who Firmly Believed That The Earth Was The Centre Of The Universe, And That All The Heavenly Bodies Revolved Around It. He Could Feel Beneath His Feet The Writhings Of The Damned Amid The Flames; Very Likely He Had Seen With His Own Eyes And Smelt With His Own Nostrils The Sulphurous Fumes Of Hell Escaping From Some Fissure In The Rocks. Looking Upwards, He Beheld ... The Incorruptible Firmament, Wherein The Stars Hung Like So Many Lamps.

Theologians And Philosophers, Who Make God The Creator Of Nature And The Architect Of The Universe, Reveal Him To Us As An Illogical And Unbalanced Being. They Declare He Is Benevolent Because They Are Afraid Of Him, But They Are Forced To Admit The Truth That His Ways Are Vicious And Beyond Understanding. They Attribute A Malignity To Him Seldom To Be Found In Any Human Being. And That Is How They Get Human Beings To Worship Him. For Our Miserable Species Would Never Lavish Worship On A Just And Benevolent God From Whom They Had Nothing To Fear.
