Whatever sympathy I feel towards religions, whatever admiration for some of their adherents, whatever historical or biological necessity I see in them, whatever metaphorical truth, I cannot accept them as credible explanations of reality; and they are incredible to me in proportion to the degree that they require my belief in positive human attributes and intervenient powers in their divinities.

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that<br/>people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral<br/>teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God. That is the one thing we<br/>must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus<br/>said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a<br/>level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the<br/>Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the<br/>Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a<br/>fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His<br/>feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising<br/>nonsense about His being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open <br/>to us. He did not intend to.

Men professing godliness offer their bodies upon Satan's altar, and burn the incense of tobacco to his satanic majesty. Does this statement seem severe? The offering must be presented to some deity. Since God is pure and holy, and will accept nothing defiling in its character, He refuses this expensive, filthy, and unholy sacrifice; therefore we conclude that Satan is the one who claims the honor.

The fact is there is nothing that you can trust; and that is a terrible fact, whether you like it or not. Psychologically there is nothing in the world, that you can put your faith, your trust, or your belief in. Neither your gods, nor your science can save you, can bring you psychological certainty; and you have to accept that you can trust in absolutely nothing.
