“In general, the nightmare quality of Marx's thought gives it, in this bedevilled age, an air of greater reality than the gentle complacency of the orthodox academics. Yet he, at the same time, is more encouraging than they, for he releases hope as well as terror from Pandora's box, while they preach only the gloomy doctrine that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.” WorldGivingWellsRealityAgeQualityGreaterAirTerrorBoxesDoctrineReleaseGentleNightmareOrthodoxComplacencyGloomyPandoraPandora's Box Author:Joan Robinson

“The philosophy of love and peace strangely overlooked who was in possession of the guns. There had been love and peace for some time on the continent of Africa because for all this time black men had been captivated by the doctrines of Christianity. It took them centuries to realize its contradictions. ... perhaps there was no greater crime as yet than all the lies Western civilization had told in the name of Jesus Christ.” MenPhilosophyLyingReligionJesusNamesBlackChristRealizingChristianityGreaterCenturyCrimeCivilizationGunJesus ChristWesternPossessionDoctrineContradictionContinentsOverlookedWestern CivilizationPeace And LoveCaptivatedPhilosophy Love Author:Bessie Head

“... believing in a God whom we cannot but regard as evil, and then, in mere terrified flattery calling Him 'good' and worshipping him is a still greater danger... The ultimate question is whether the doctrine of the goodness of God or that of the inerrancy of scripture is to prevail when they conflict. I think the doctrine of the goodness of God is the more certain of the two. Indeed, only that doctrine renders this worship of Him obligatory or even permissable.” ThinkingBelieveStillsTwoCertainEvilGreaterDangerCallingConflictGoodnessWorshipUltimateRegardMereScriptureDoctrineTerrifiedFlatteryGoodness Of GodUltimate Questions Author:C.

“Some people think that the people they lead are too stupid to be told the truth, and thus they must be lied to, in order for a greater good to be accomplished.

That's the doctrine of pirates.” PeopleThinkingBelieveHas BeensOrderFightingGreaterStupidDoctrineAccomplishedStrongestLiedPirateGreater Good Author:Zach McGowan
