They borrow thethreads of its texture from the anthropomorphism of the vulgar. Wordshave been used by sophists for the same purposes, from the occultqualities of the peripatetics to the effluvium of Boyle and thecrinities or nebulae of Herschel. God is represented as infinite, eternal, incomprehensible; He is contained under every predicate in nonthat the logic of ignorance could fabricate. Even His worshippers allowthat it is impossible to form any idea of Him: they exclaim with theFrench poet..., Pour dire ce qu'il est, il faut etre lui-meme.
Lord Bacon says that atheism leaves to man reason, philosophy, naturalpiety, laws, reputation, and everything that can serve to conduct him tovirtue; but superstition destroys all these, and erects itself into atyranny over the understandings of men: hence atheism never disturbs thegovernment, but renders man more clear-sighted, since he seas nothingbeyond the boundaries of the present life. --Bacon's "Moral Essays".
La premiere theologie de l'homme lui fit d'abord craindre at adorer leselements meme, des objets materiels at grossiers; il randit ensuite seshommages a des agents presidant aux elements, a des genies inferieurs, ades heros, ou a des hommes doues de grandes qualites.
