Publisher's Synopsis
The Devil is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll that explores the concept of the devil in religion and mythology. Ingersoll, a prominent 19th-century American orator and agnostic, argues that the devil is a creation of human imagination rather than a real entity. He examines various religious texts and traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and ancient mythologies, to show how the devil has been used to explain evil and suffering in the world. Ingersoll also critiques the idea of eternal damnation and the belief that the devil is responsible for tempting humans to sin. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of a controversial topic and offers a unique perspective on the role of the devil in human belief systems.THIS 76 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
