The faith that stands on authority is not faith.

There is nothing divine about morality, it is a purely human affair.

Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality.

The faith that stands on authority is not faith. The reliance on authority measures the decline of religion, the withdrawal of the soul. The position men have given to Jesus, now for many centuries of history, is a position of authority. It characterizes themselves.

Morals can't function normally because morals have been declared intellectually illegal by the subject object metaphysics that dominates present social thought

It's simply untrue that religion provides the only framework for a universal morality.

"No creed must be accepted upon authority of a "divine" nature. Religions must be put to the question. no moral dogma must be taken for granted- no standard of measurement deified. There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy!"

A moral system valid for all is basically immoral.

No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.

If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.

Nothing can be accomplished by logic and ethics.

Conventionality is not morality.

Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.

No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.
