Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Faiths Embodied in Ancient Names, or an Attempt to Trace the Religious Belief, Sacred Rites, and Holy Emblems of Certain Nations, Vol. 2: By an Interpretation of the Names Given to Children by Priestly Authority, or Assumed by Prophets, Kings, and Hierarchs Indeed our newspapers teem with controversial epistles, which abuse Romanists, Ritualists, Dissenters, Deists, Atheists, Pantheists, and Evangelicals alike. Even the Church, said to be the earthly representative of the Prince of Peace, is a belligerent, and discharges the vials of her wrath upon any one of her own body who ventures to cultivate his mental powers, if he develops them so as to displease her. It is true that modern theologians only fight with the pen, tongue, curses, excommunications, and similar weapons, rather than with sword and gun, cannon and bonfire. Yet the hate between rivals is as deadly now as it was when they fought at the dagger's point. Surely, thought I, all this fighting must be folly. There can only be one true religion, and it would be well for the world if all would unite to seek it with conscientious diligence, rather than fight about its best mask.
