[Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith by Robert Patterson]@TWC D-Link bookFables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith PREFACE 3/10
The disciples of Infidelity are numerous and zealous.
It would be hard to find a factory, boarding-house, steamboat or hotel where twelve persons are employed, without an Infidel; and harder still to find an Infidel who will not use his influence to poison his associates. These systems are well adapted to the depraved tastes of the age.
The business man, whose whole soul is set on money-making and spending, is right glad to meet the Secularist, who will prove to him on scientific principles, that a man is much profited by gaining the whole world, even at the risk of his soul, if he has such a thing.
The young and ill-instructed professor of Christianity, whose longings for forbidden joys are strong, has a natural kindliness toward nationalism, which befogs the serene light of God's holy law, and gives the directing power to his own inner liking.
The sentimental young lady, who would recoil from the grossness of the Deist, is attracted by the poetry of Pantheism.
