“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.

It stands or falls with faith in God.” GivingMeanSelfWholeChristianTogetherFallViewsChristianityBreakFeetMoralityGiving UpConceptsFaith In GodEvidentChristian FaithChristian Morality Book:Twilight of the Idols Source: Twilight of the Idols

“The bright, frosty day declined as they walked and spoke together. The sun dipped in the river far behind them, and the old city lay red before them, as their walk drew to a close.
