Mean Theologies…
July 30, 2009 12:03 pmThey regard the Father of their spirits as their governor! They yield the idea of… “the glad Creator,” and put in its stead a miserable, puritanical, martinet of a God, caring not for righteousness but for His rights: not for the eternal purities, but the goody properties. The prophets of such a God take all the glow, all the hope, all the color, all the worth, out of life on earth, and offer you instead what they call eternal bliss–a pale, tearless hell… But if you are straitened in your own mammon-worshiping soul, how shall you believe in a God any greater than can stand up in that prison chamber?
