Synopsis
Excerpt from Cant: A Satire
When Nature form'd this nebula of earth, Millions of ages before man had birth,* She stock'd it o'er with things endow'd with life, With horrid forms prepared and arm'd for strife, Amphibious genii of each element, Mammoth, and Sloth, of size magnificent Gigantic forms that browsed the mountain-steeps.

Cant: A Satire (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a biting satire of religious hypocrisy, exposing the author's view of the corrupting influence of faith on human institutions, particularly in the spheres of politics and social life. The author weaves a tapestry of social critique, using wit and sharp observations to expose what they see as the darker side of organised religion, drawing a clear parallel between the Church of their day and the corrupt practices of ancient Rome. The text delves into historical examples of religious persecution and the entanglement of power with organised religion, presenting a powerful argument that religious institutions are often motivated by self-interest and a desire for wealth rather than genuine piety. The bookââ â¢s incisive analysis of the relationship between Church and State explores themes of manipulation, hypocrisy, and the abuse of power, ultimately demonstrating the author's conviction that true faith lies not in rigid doctrine but in the pursuit of reason and genuine compassion for all humankind. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331078852_0
