Goodness, Armed With Power, Is Corrupted; And Pure Love Without Power Is Destroyed.

The Essence Of Man Is His Freedom. Sin Is Committed In That Freedom. Sin Can Therefore Not Be Attributed To A Defect In His Essence. It Can Only Be Understood As A Self-contradiction, Made Possible By The Fact Of His Freedom But Not Following Necessarily From It.

Despotism, Which We Regard With Abhorrence, Is Rather Too Plausible In Decaying Feudal, Agrarian, Pastoral Societies. That's Why We Must Expect To Have Many A Defeat Before We'll Have An Ultimate Victory In This Contest With Communism.

The Separation Of Church And State Is Necessary Partly Because If Religion Is Good Then The State Shouldn't Interfere With The Religious Vision Or With The Religious Prophet. There Must Be A Realm Of Truth Beyond Political Competence, That's Why There Must Be A Separation Of Churches, But If Religion Is Bad And A Bad Religion Is One That Gives An Ultimate Sanctity To Some Particular Cause. Then Religion Mustn't Interfere With The State - So One Of The Basic Democratic Principles As We Know It In America Is The Separation Of Church And State.

My Personal Attitude Toward Atheists Is The Same Attitude That I Have Toward Christians, And Would Be Governed By A Very Orthodox Text: "by Their Fruits Shall Ye Know Them."
