Excerpt from Phantasmagorian Theology and Other Things Science is in the nursery, a noisy, troublesome infant, who prattles and cries continually in the absence of the wet nurse. Humanity needs a religion that can walk with out crutches guided by human wisdom nurtured by human love expanding and abounding always in the light of hope and truth. Immortality is accepted as a fact by nine-tenths of the human race. They regard it as a birth right; or rather as an entailed inheritance, coming down from the fathers of civilization, who grappled the idea from chaos and were not mistaken about it. This faith in immortality is a blessed antidote of misery and will never be abandoned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
