Theology Is The Science Of The Divine

Does It Follow That I Reject All Authority? Perish The Thought. In The Matter Of Boots, I Defer To The Authority Of The Boot-maker.

I Am Truly Free Only When All Human Beings, Men And Women, Are Equally Free. The Freedom Of Other Men, Far From Negating Or Limiting My Freedom, Is, On The Contrary, Its Necessary Premise And Confirmation.

The Liberty Of Man Consists Solely In This, That He Obeys The Laws Of Nature Because He Has Himself Recognized Them As Such, And Not Because They Have Been Imposed Upon Him Externally By Any Foreign Will Whatsoever, Human Or Divine, Collective Or Individual.

God, Or Rather The Fiction Of God, Is Thus The Sanction And The Intellectual And Moral Cause Of All The Slavery On Earth, And The Liberty Of Men Will Not Be Complete, Unless It Will Have Completely Annihilated The Inauspicious Fiction Of A Heavenly Master.

A Person Is Strong Only When He Stands Upon His Own Truth, When He Speaks And Acts With His Deepest Convictions. Then, Whatever The Situation He May Be In, He Always Knows What He Must Say And Do. He May Fall, But He Cannot Bring Shame Upon Himself Or His Cause. If We Seek The Liberation Of The People By Means Of A Lie, We Will Surely Grow Confused, Go Astray, And Loose Sight Of Our Objective, And If We Have Any Influence At All On The People We Will Lead Them Astray As Well - In Other Words, We Will Be Acting In The Spirit Of Reaction And To Its Benefit.
