“This doctrine ['that the condition of man cannot be ameliorated, that what has been must ever be, and that to secure ourselves where we are we must tread with awful reverence in the footsteps of our fathers']is the genuine fruit of the alliance between Church and State, the tenants of which finding themselves but too well in their present condition, oppose all advances which might unmask their usurpations and monopolies of honors, wealth and power, and fear every change as endangering the comforts they now hold.” MenWellsHas BeensStatesMightFatherChurchWealthConditionsHonorComfortFindingsFruitPositive AtheismGenuineDoctrineSecureAwfulReverenceMonopolyOur FatherAlliancesChurch And StateFootstepsTenantsUsurpationPower And Fear Book:Jefferson: Writings Source: Jefferson: Writings
