O the horror, the horror! this should actually be called 'how to instill fear into the innocent many.' or 'learn the power of God's anger' or 'join this congregation or go to hell'. Jonathan Edwards is the ultimate example of a preacher who through language can take a concept and control people with it. this concept of course is God's everlasting wrath "you will know for sure that you must wear out many long ages, millions and millions of ages, in struggling and fighting against this merciless vengeance." (p. 24) Mercy, Mercy sweet lord above'ah! it's such a powerful sermon that Edwards is sure people will remember it while they burn in the fiery furnaces of hell.

I often complain about the time i'm in, but holy fuck i'm glad I wasn't alive in 1741. Funny enough, this sermon was brought swiftly upon the damned on my birthday. ( )
