Perhaps The Most Significant Moral Characteristic Of

Religion Is So Frequently A Source Of Confusion In Political Life, And So Frequently Dangerous To Democracy, Precisely Because It Introduces Absolutes Into The Realm Of Relative Values.

Democracy Is Finding Proximate Solutions To Insoluble Problems.

In The Old Testament, The God Of The Prophets Never Was Completely On Israel's Side. There Was A Primitive National Religion, But It Was Always A Transcendent God Who Had Judgment First In The House Of God. This Is The True Religion. It Has A Sense Of A Transcendent Majesty And A Transcendent Meaning So That That Puts Myself And The Foe Under The Same Judgment.

It Is My Strong Conviction That A Realist Conception Of Human Nature Should Be Made A Servant Of An Ethic Of Progressive Justice And Should Not Be Made Into A Bastion Of Conservatism, Particularly A Conservatism Which Defends Unjust Privileges.

I'm Not Afraid Of Too Many Things, And I Got That Invincible Kind Of Attitude From My Father.
