Beecher’s Dangerous Infidelity

SAYS Beecher: "It is of no use to say that a man must be a fool who does not believe in a God." Yet this man occupies the pulpit of what passes among the uninformed as a Christian church. True, he has virtually abjured Christianity, and, fortunately, has lost most of his influence among professed Christian people in this country; still among unbelievers his words pass as those of a theologian, and thus they are strengthened in their unbelief. Beecher is perhaps no worse an infidel than is Ingersoll, but he is more than twice as dangerous an enemy to Christianity.
