"But a man may feel himself unworthy sometimes to rise to that height," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, conscious of hypocrisy in admitting this religious height, but at the same time unable to bring himself to acknowledge his free-thinking views before a person who, by a single word to Pomorsky, might procure him the coveted appointment.
Choulette wished to express in it human misery, not simple and touching, such as men of other times may have felt it in a world of mingled harshness and kindness; but hideous, and reflecting the state of ugliness created by the free-thinking bourgeois and the military patriots of the French Revolution. According to him the present regime embodied only hypocrisy and brutality.
"In philosophy," he observes, meaning to contrast his free-thinking in that department with his orthodoxy in religion in philosophy, "where truth seems double-faced, there is no man more paradoxical than myself:" which is true, we may think, in a further sense than he meant, and that it was the "paradoxical" that he actually preferred.
Few movements have been started, especially among women, that did not professedly stand upon high moral and religious ground. Fourierism was superhuman in its intention, in this country, at least. Free-thinking hopes to deliver the soul from the bondage of superstition in all religion. Mormonism was founded as "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints."
We invent for them diminutive and qualifying terms, which, if not, as in the common uses of language , to be admitted as signs of approbation and good will, must at least be confessed to be proofs of our tendency to regard them with palliation and indulgence. Free-thinking, gallantry, jollity , and a thousand similar phrases might be adduced as instances.
In Matthew the son of David through whom Joseph descended from that King is Solomon; in Luke, Nathan; and so on, the line descends, in Matthew, through the race of known Kings; in Luke, through an unknown collateral branch, coinciding only with respect to Salathiel and Zorobabel, whilst they still differ in the names of the father of Salathiel and the son of Zorobabel.... A consideration of the insurmountable difficulties, which unavoidably embarrass every attempt to bring these two genealogies into harmony with one another, will lead us to despair of reconciling them, and will incline us to acknowledge, with the more free-thinking class of critics, that they are mutually contradictory.
"Who does hurt them then?" "Their master, the devil, I suppose and his imps." "Why should he hurt them?" "Because they are liars, and bear false witness; being hungry for innocent blood." The spirit of the free-thinking, free-spoken old sea-captain nurtured by the free winds and the free waves for forty years was fully alive now in his daughter.
The hasta fetialis has been styled a fetish an apparent abuse of language. As to the Holy Cross qua fetish, why discuss such free-thinking credulities? Modern anthropologists Tylor, Frazer, and the rest are not under the censure appropriate to the illogical. More Mischiefs of Comparison Fetishism was represented as 'the very beginning of religion, first among the negroes, then among all races.
People's ideas differing widely as to what constitutes improvement of time, the clocks varied accordingly in the nature of the edification they provided. There were religious and sectarian clocks, moral clocks, philosophical clocks, free-thinking and infidel clocks, literary and poetical clocks, educational clocks, frivolous and bacchanalian clocks.
"Perhaps I should never have married if I had not got away from the comparison, I mean." "There was a danger, I suppose. But," with renewed grief, "Oh, Benis, such a wedding! No cards, no cake and in pyjamas oh!" "Come now, Aunt, don't give way! And do you feel that it is quite right to criticise the clergy? I always fancy that it is the first step toward free-thinking.
