“Do you really mean to tell me the only reason you try to be good is to gain God's approval and
reward, or to avoid his disapproval and punishment? That's not morality, that's just sucking up,
apple-polishing, looking over your shoulder at the great surveillance camera in the sky, or the still
small wiretap inside your head, monitoring your every move, even your every base though.”

“It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take
seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere... Science has been
charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be
based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary.
Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of
reward after death.”

“My 'morals' were sound, even a bit puritanic, but when a hidebound old deacon inveighed against
dancing I rebelled. By the time of graduation I was still a 'believer' in orthodox religion, but had
strong questions which were encouraged at Harvard. In Germany I became a freethinker and when I
came to teach at an orthodox Methodist Negro school I was soon regarded with suspicion, especially
when I refused to lead the students in public prayer. When I became head of a department at Atlanta,
the engagement was held up because again I balked at leading in prayer. I refused to teach Sunday
school. When Archdeacon Henry Phillips, my last rector, died, I flatly refused again to join any
church or sign any church creed. From my 30th year on I have increasingly regarded the church as
an institution which defended such evils as slavery, color caste, exploitation of labor and war. I
think the greatest gift of the Soviet Union to modern civilization was the dethronement
of the clergy and the refusal to let religion be taught in the public schools.”

“Strangers when you meet, strangers when you part -a gymnasium of bodies namelessly
masturbating each other. People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly
they lacked the ability to feel or to love. So they became swingers. The dead fucking the dead. There
was no gamble or humor in their game -it was corpse fucking corpse. Morals were restrictive, but
they were grounded on human experience down through the centuries. Some morals tended to keep
people slaves in factories, in churches and true to the State. Other morals simply made good sense. It
was like a garden filled with poisoned fruit and good fruit. You had to know which to pick and eat,
which to leave alone.”
