More From Marilynne Robinson

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong. by absolute we mean that which always applies, that which provides a final or ultimate standard. there must be an absolute if there are to be morals, and there must be an absolute if there are to be real values. if there is no absolute beyond man's ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. we are merely left with conflicting opinions.
