If neither Science, Religion nor Philosophy, nor all together can thus come to the service of man, can not do it now, after all the weary centuries since Plato and Aristotle, we may as well write qui bono on our banners and trail them in the dust!
Even the theologies of the day, recognizing the dilemma and the difficulties, still cling to the miraculous, and to make the best of a bad bargain, offer dogma in the place of demonstration, and contradictory and blind belief in place of the light of Faith.
While they count thousands as nominally in their communion, the intelligent among all these have many “mental reservations.”
The intelligent thought of the world flows past and beyond them.
The “Soul’s intuitive conviction” agreeing with “both reason and conscience” holds and guides them, in spite of the verbal “confession of faith.”
The Divinity of Jesus, the Christ, can be fully explained under natural and divine law, without invoking miracle.
The result of such explanation is to dethrone him from the altars of dogma and superstition, and enthrone him on the altar of Love in the heart of Humanity.
This is long delayed, but cannot be defeated.
