When one gives up the christian faith, one pulls the right to christian morality out from under one's feet. this morality is by no means self-evident. christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. by breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in god, one breaks the whole. it stands or falls with faith in god.

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

Although i'm not christian, i was raised christian. i'm an atheist, with a slight buddhist leaning. i've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the christian morality.... i can't tell you how many films i've turned down because there was an absence of morality. and i don't mean that from any sort of judeo-christian-muslim point of view. i'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. but, fundamentally, i'm such a humanist that i can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light.

The question "is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?" is one you must consistently ask yourself if you are committed to having all that you want and all that you deserve. when you love yourself you feel worthy and deserving of claiming the gifts of this world. self-love gives you peace of mind and balance. self-love gives you self-respect and the ability to respect others. it gives you the confidence to stand up and ask for what you want. self-love is the main ingredient in a successful, fulfilled life.

We are a people of different faiths, but we are one. which faith conquers the other is not the question; rather, the question is whether christianity stands or falls.... we tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of christianity... in fact our movement is christian. we are filled with a desire for catholics and protestants to discover one another in the deep distress of our own people.
Christian Fall Ideas
If we have free will, by definition we cannot be granted it. we can't be given it. my [-audio-recording-distorted-] paradox states that 'of course we have free will, we have no choice.' to say that it's a gift is to negate the whole concept of free will on its face. so, if that isn't self-evident, i can't think of anything that would meet the definition of being self-evident.
Thinking Self Choices
Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

Nothing is a courtesy unless it be meant us, and that friendly and lovingly. we owe no thanks to rivers that they carry our boats, or winds that they be favoring and fill our sails, or meats that they be nourishing; for these are what they are necessarily. horses carry us, trees shade us; but they know it not.

Take most people, they are crazy about cars. they worry if they get a little scratch on them, they are always talking about have many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that is even newer. i do not even like old cars. . . . i'd rather have a horse. a horse is at least human, for god's sake.

The only time some people work like a horse is when the boss rides them.

Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life! - in tragic hints here see what evermore moves dark as yonder midnight ocean's force, thundering like ramping hosts of warrior horse, to throw that faint thin fine upon the shore!
