"Truth, in its struggles for recognition,
passes through four distinct stages.
First, we say it is damnable, dangerous, disorderly,
and will surely disrupt society.
Second, we declare it is heretical, infidelic
and contrary to the Bible.
Third, we say it is really a matter of no importance
either one way or the other.
Fourth, we aver that we have always upheld it and believed it." | by: | |
