Chapter Two
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT
A BOOK RELIGION
Do you know what an iconoclast is?
An iconoclast is an idol-smasher, an idol-breaker.
Throughout the history of mankind and religion there have
been men and movements that have been iconoclastic.
They are always hated by the religionists because
religionists do not like to have their "sacred cows"
smashed. They worship those idols. In fact, on many
occasions in history the religionists have risen up to kill the
iconoclasts.
I can almost see the stones. I can almost feel the tar and
feathers. I can almost hear the flak and the abusive railings
that will be the probable result of my idol-smashing. But
iconoclasts believe in what they are doing, and often rush
in where angels fear to tread.
