[Modern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws by James Buchanan]@TWC D-Link bookModern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws CHAPTER III 58/72
Pantheism disowns,--Christian Theism declares, the doctrine of _a conscious, personal immortality_. 5.
Pantheism rejects,--Christian Theism receives, the whole scheme of Revelation, considered as a supernatural code of Divine truth.
The one accounts for its origin on the principle of natural development, the other on that of supernatural interposition. 6.
Pantheism has no living, self-conscious, personal God, no loving Father, no watchful Providence, no Hearer of Prayer, no Object of confiding trust, no Redeemer, no Sanctifier, no Comforter: it leaves us with nothing higher than Nature as our portion here, and nothing beyond its eternal vicissitudes as our prospect hereafter.
