172. Faith--A Mixture of Insanity and Ignorance

The doctrine that future happiness depends upon belief is monstrous.

It is the infamy of infamies. The notion that faith in Christ is to

be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason,

observation, and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for

refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity

and ignorance; called "faith."
