A Delusion of the Ages.

Why have men so readily died in the name of Jesus if the Trinitarian doctrine is a delusion ? My answer is that more have died with God's name, or Mahommed's, or Buddha's, or Confucius upon their lips That the mind of man is prone to forsake God, and follow strange Gods, as the Bible very clearly pointed out; but our duty is to keep to God alone. Consider how many worshipped Diana, Astarte, or Baal : and the worshippers freely gave their lives for their beliefs. Did they not hack themselves to pieces with knives ? Consider the dancing Dervishes or the ascetic hermits, or the praying monks of Thibet. Did not thousands of Arabs lay down their lives bravely and manfully at Omdurman, the mistaken followers of the Mahdi? But Kitchener's Maxims relentlessly mowed them down, because the time had arrived to open up Africa. My sole reason for publishing this Essay is to bring men's minds back to God, as the delusions of strange Gods are endless, Yet all honour to those noble Christians who have laid down their lives for their delusion. In a way they have done God's work, but the delusion is now rapidly fading 'for Jesus Christ is now dying or dead) and they will be able to do God's work better when the earth is freed from his mistaken worship.
