Resident Forces of Life, the Evolution of Humanity (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Resident Forces of Life, the Evolution of Humanity The purpose of this treatise is the enfranchisement of mind from the shackles of superstitions, inherited from primitive Racial Imaginations. These have been conserved, expanded, coordinated, refined and institutionalized as the basis of religion (government). The promoters of the various religions (so called) arrogate a sovereign, and sacred franchise to declare and dictate terms and conditions of life and destiny to all mankind, and to denounce and condemn all knowledge and thought that makes bare their premises, and rejects their assumptions of authority. The theological stage, or plane is a passing phase of human progress. The theological conscience must be superseded by the racial, human conscience recognizing and assuming personal and social obligations from the fact that they evolve of human nature and relationship. This book is not a destructive criticism, but it is constructive; fitted to build up manhood in all the nobler elements of the understanding, affections, purposes and sentiments of progressive life.
