安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 28

安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

Father could not stand it and said: "If that be your religion and that your God, I seek a better religion and a nobler God." He left the Presbyterian Church never to return, but he did not cease to attend various other churches. I saw him enter the closet every morning to pray and that impressed me. He was indeed a saint and always remained devout. All sects became to him as agencies for good. He had discovered that theologies were many, but religion was one. I was quite satisfied that my father knew better than the minister, who pictured not the Heavenly Father, but the cruel avenger of the Old Testament--an "Eternal Torturer" as Andrew D. White ventures to call him in his autobiography. Fortunately this conception of the Unknown is now largely of the past.

白话

父亲受不了了,说:“如果那就是你的宗教,那就是你的上帝,我要寻找更好的宗教和更高尚的上帝。”他离开长老会,再也没回去,但他并没有停止参加各种其他教堂。我见他每天早晨走进小房间祈祷,这给我留下深刻印象。他确实是个圣人,始终虔诚。所有教派对他而言都成了行善的机构。他发现神学有很多,但宗教只有一个。我很满意父亲比牧师更明白事理,牧师描绘的不是天父,而是旧约中残酷的复仇者——安德鲁·D·怀特在自传中大胆地称之为“永恒的折磨者”。幸运的是,这种对未知者的观念如今已基本成为过去。
