Emerson: "The Religion that is afraid of science dishonours God and commits suicide"

Emerson - Wikiquote

  • "The Religion that is afraid of science dishonours God and commits suicide. It acknowledges that it is not equal to the whole of truth, that it legislates, tyrannizes over a village of God's empires but is not the immutable universal law. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion and making way for truth." Ralph Waldo Emerson, 4 March 1831
