God's Love

[Gwaithmir]

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”― Edmund Burke

Without God you can't even make sense of 'good'.

“Some have made the love of God the foundation of morality. This too, is but a branch of our moral duties, which are generally divided in duties to God and duties to man. If we are to act merely from the love of God and a belief that is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist?...Diderot, D'Lambert, D'Holbach, Condorcet, are known to have been among the most virtuous of men. Their virtues, then, must have some other foundation than the love of God.” (Thomas Jefferson)


“Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right.” (H.L. Mencken)
