More From Christopher Hitchens

Everywhere the tendency has been to separate religion from morality, to set them in opposition even. but a religion without morality is a superstition and a curse; and anything like an adequate and complete morality without religion is impossible. the only salvation for man is in the union of the two as christianity unites them.

Although i'm not christian, i was raised christian. i'm an atheist, with a slight buddhist leaning. i've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the christian morality.... i can't tell you how many films i've turned down because there was an absence of morality. and i don't mean that from any sort of judeo-christian-muslim point of view. i'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. but, fundamentally, i'm such a humanist that i can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light.

Politics and morality are inseparable. and as morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. we need religion as a guide. we need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. with some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. and it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.

Only someone as puffed up and demented as john maynard keynes, every left wing fascist's sainted mentor in this connection, could manage to convince himself that taxing america's productive class can restore it to prosperity. in point of fact, it's like screwing for chastity, guzzling alcohol for sobriety, or gorging to fight gluttony. it's like killing indiscriminately for peace - oops, democrats, republicans and their moral and spiritual ilk have devoutly believed that particular bit of perverse nonsense since at least the war of 1812.
