External Religion: Its Use and Abuse (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from External Religion: Its Use and Abuse

The proverbial fruitlessness of religious or philosophical controversy is doubtless in some measure due to the fact that, each one's seemingly many thoughts on such matters are indeed but one thought in diverse clothings; that the conclusions to which we cleave, really so modify our understanding of the principles from which we profess to draw them, that even the few premisses we may seem to hold in union with our opponents are held in a different sense, and thus there is no common basis for argument.
