What reading level is Counter Currents book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To illustrate this point, I quote some verses which appeared in a periodical devoted to social work, a periodical with high and serious aims. I quote them re- luctantly (not deeming them fit for pub- lication), and only because it is impossible to ignore the fact that their appearance in such a paper makes them doubly and trebly reprehensible. They are entitled " The Cry to Christ of the Daughters of Shame." " Crucified once for the sins of the world, O fortunate Christ! " they cry: " With an E...aster dawn in thy dying eyes, O happy death to die !
" But we, — we are crucified daily, With never an Easter morn ; But only the hell of human lust, ) And worse, — of human scorn.
" For the sins of passionless women, For the sins of passionate men, 154 The Repeal of Reticence Daily we make atonement, Golgotha again and again.
" O happy Christ, who died for love, Judge us who die for lust.
For thou wast man, who now art God.
Thou knowest. Thou art just." Now apart from the offence against religion in this easy comparison between the Saviour and the woman of the streets, and apart from the deplorable offence against good taste, which might repel even the irreligious, such unquali- fied acquittal stands forever in the way of reform, of the judgment and common sense which make for the betterment of the world.
