More From Norman Mailer

You hear a lot about god these days: god, the beneficent; god, the all-great; god, the almighty; god, the most powerful; god, the giver of life; god, the creator of death. i mean, we're hearing about god all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. but if we know anything about god, god is arbitrary.
Powerful Mean Hearing
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.
Men Squares Law
Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the giver and bound to catch the spirit of the giver. like produces like. grace makes you gracious, the giver makes you give.
Giving Forever Grace
My position concerning god is that of an agnostic. i am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.

The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all laws.
Law Evil Disregard
Anarchy is the sure consequence of tyranny; for no power that is not limited by laws can ever be protected by them.
Freedom Law Democracy
This law represents a cornerstone in a structure which is being built but is by no means completed--a structure intended to lessen the force of possible future depressions, to act as a protection to future administrations of the government against the necessity of going deeply into debt to furnish relief to the needy--a law to flatten out the peaks and valleys of deflation and of inflation--in other words, a law that will take care of human needs and at the same time provide for the united states an economic structure of vastly greater soundness.
Mean Government Law
As joel goldsmith said, in the presence of the god realized, the laws of the material world do not apply. that's why people who live steadfastly at a place of god-consciousness can perform miracles. they can create. they can make virtually anything happen. from the space in-between, that last inch is the critical inch you have to take to reach that place. every once in a while, i get to that place of god-consciousness, and miracles do happen.
