More From Friedrich Nietzsche

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.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

When people get frustrated, it's when they feel they are living in a context that deprives them of dignity, deprives them of justice and deprives them of the freedom to realize their full potential, and that to me is what the arab awakening was all about. i think it applied to every country, and so i have been an unmitigated supporter of it.

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. christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. by breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in god, one breaks the whole. it stands or falls with faith in god.

The history of intellectual growth and discovery clearly demonstrates the need for unfettered freedom, the right to think the unthinkable, discuss the unmentionable, and challenge the unchallengeable. to curtail free expression strikes twice at intellectual freedom, for whoever deprives another of the right to state unpopular views necessarily also deprives others of the right to listen to those views.

I wish it were simply a nightmare, but i think that any reasonable person watching american politics would come to the conclusion that a second bush administration would in fact incorporate a more radicalized version of what we've seen in the first administration.
