Book excerpt: Excerpt from "The Holy Scriptures" Analyzed, or Extracts From the Bible: Showing Its Contradictions, Absurdities, and Immoralities It was the desire to hasten the annihilation of the influence of these men that induced me to publish the following work; -a work which, I trust, will serve somewhat to expose one of the greatest impositions ever palmed upon mankind in any age, or country. 1 allude, as may be supposed, to the Bible Yes, the Christian priesthood dare so outrageously blaspheme the character of the Supreme Governor of the universe, as to say, that that book is his word that he either wrote, or in Spired men to write it. 0 shame, shame upon such blas phemy What a Munificent, and Omniscient Deity the author of a book replete with more contradictions, containing more immoralities, and inculcating more absurdities, than any book extant; contradictions, too, of the grossest character, immoralities Ofthe most pernicious tendency, and absurdities Of the most extravagant nature. Audacious impiety Such an Opinion, perhaps, might be entertained in the dark age of ignorance and superstition, but in this, the boasted era of rea son and science, it must be repudiated by all who dare Openly and frankly avow their sentiments. This may be deemed by those who have always read the Bible with their eyes closed, or who are interested in teaching its doctrines and mysteries, very bold and presumptuous, but let the reader refer to the extracts contained in this little book, (and which are only a few to what may be adduced) and, I am persuaded, he will at once acknowledge I am perfectly justified in making these statements. Indeed, so extremely immoral, and disgustingly Obscene, are many passages in this book, that I feel almost ashamed to publish them, and, I am sure, any one, who has the least sense of delicacy, or chastity, will blush to read them. A book which had really originated from an Omnis cient and Munificent Divinity - which was the word, or organ Of such a being, must inculcate, in every chapter, and in every verse, the strictest, the purest, and most exalted morality, constantly exhort mankind to everything that was just, ra tional, and charitable and contain no language but that which was exquisitely beautiful and elevating, and no ex pressions but those which were irresistibly persuasive and convincing. But the Bible is a book, as may be seen on a reference to these extracts, quite the reverse of this. We are compelled, therefore, to conclude, against the established Opinions Of society, that 'it cannot be Of Divine Origin, and consequently cannot be the word Of God.
