We are, therefore, better off than if we had been let into the secret, and left to do it for ourselves.
But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light.

The God in whom we believe is a God of moral truth, and not a God of mystery or obscurity.

Mystery is the antagonist of truth.

It is a fog of human invention that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion.

Truth never envelops itself in mystery; and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped, is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.
Religion, therefore, being the belief of a God, and the practice of moral truth, cannot have connection with mystery.
