First verse does not make a whole lot of sense.

1) Who is this new squaw the past has forgotten, how does past have a wife.

2) To consumate their raven joining-- 'their' can only refer to the squaw and the past. So how come they are being joined when his new squaw has been forgotten.

3) How can was ever be new, it is the past.

Verse 2, talking about christ as an abstraction invented by people to fulfill a need is just trite. It has been said a million times before, and offers a side of the argument but no insight.
