Auliq Ice -
Secret of man's Mortality Man has transformed from immortal to become a mere mortal being all because of our mental love for sex and evil.
Nicole Richie -
Everything good in life is either immoral, illegal or fattening.
Sunday Adelaja -
God's blessings don't automatically ward off the attacks of the devil as he tries to tempt us with sexual immorality
Shannon L. Alder -
The problem with Christianity is more people profess the truth than live it. So much hypocrisy abounds that I can no longer say I count myself among them without being held to the same unachievable standard.
Gore Vidal -
Once people get hung up on theology, they've lost sanity forever. More people have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ than any other name in the history of the world.
Martin Luther King Jr. -
Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.
Mehmet Murat ildan -
The best comedy on earth shows up when an immoral person talks about the morals!
James C. Dobson - Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future
Instead, every precaution was taken not to violate his rights. Remember, many administrators have no difficulty in expelling a student who utters an unwelcome opinion about the immorality of homosexuality.
Alex Scarrow - Afterlight
The best way to filter out the bad seeds was to place a job ad for Prime Minister in a national newspaper and all those that applied would be automatically disqualified.
Ron Brackin -
Gray areas are just the inability to distinguish between darkness and light.
Kilroy J. Oldster - Dead Toad Scrolls
A shaman and a writer each serve as their communities’ seers by engaging in extraordinary acts of conscientious study of the past and the present and predicting the future. An inner voice calls to the shaman and an essayistic writer to answer the call that vexes the pernicious spirit of their times. Shamanistic writers induce a trance state of mind where they lose contact with physical reality through a rational disordering of the senses, in an effort to encounter for the umpteenth time the grea
Meredith Ann Pierce - Birth of the Firebringer
Jan could not recall ever seeing a creature more beautiful, though there nagged somewhere at the back of his mind the notion that she ought to have seemed hideous. Why? For she was pure, admirably pure, without a twinge of conscience or shame.
Billy Graham - Billy Graham in Quotes
New morality is nothing more than the old immorality brought up to date.
Billy Graham - Billy Graham in Quotes
Don’t conform to those who have been overwhelmed by the tide of immorality sweeping our country!
Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski -
Unorganized morality is called sociability. Organized morality is called civilization. Unorganized immorality is called barbarity. Organized immorality is called statism.
Stefan Zweig - Casanova: A Study in Self-Portraiture
What decides whether a man will become immortal, is not his character but his vitality. Nothing save intensity confers immortality. A man manifests himself more vividly, in proportion as he is strong and unified, effective and unique. Immortality knows nothing of morality or immorality, of good or evil; it measures only work and strength; it demands from a man not purity but unity. Here, morality is nothing; intensity, all.
Baruch Spinoza -
All laws which can be violated without doing any one any injury are laughed at. Nay, so far are they from doing anything to control the desires and passions of men that, on the contrary, they direct and incite men's thoughts the more toward those very objects, for we always strive toward what is forbidden and desire the things we are not allowed to have. And men of leisure are never deficient in the ingenuity needed to enable them to outwit laws framed to regulate things which cannot be entirely
Thomas Henry Huxley - The Evolution Of Theology: An Anthropological Study
And those who will carefully study the so-called 'Mosaic code' contained in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, will see that, though Jahveh's prohibitions of certain forms of immorality are strict and sweeping, his wrath is quite as strongly kindled against infractions of ritual ordinances. Accidental homicide may go unpunished, and reparation may be made for wilful theft. On the other hand, Nadab and Abihu, who 'offered strange fire before Jahveh, which he had not commanded them,' wer
Ricardo Derose -
The immoral man always sees the moral man as immoral, just a way for him to justify his immorality.
Glenn Greenwald - A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency
The same president who has insisted that core moralism drives him has brought America to its lowest moral standing in history.
Stefan Molyneux -
Improving the world can be a nasty and ugly and difficult and dangerous business...because when you improve the world, you threaten the entrenched interests of evil people.
Russell Baker -
A group of politicians deciding to dump a President because his morals are bad is like the Mafia getting together to bump off the Godfather for not going to church on Sunday.
Criss Jami -
They call good evil and evil good. There are those who are so easily offended that they lose their ability to ever discern any truth, and this is often derived from a sort of frenzy by way of their own masked prejudice.
Roger Kimball - The Long March: How the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s Changed America
The Beats inaugurated the long march through the moral territory of American culture. Who knows how many lives were blighted along the way as a result of their proselytizing on behalf of drugs and promiscuous sex?
Roger Kimball - The Long March: How the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s Changed America
We -- the industrialized, technologized world -- have never been richer. And yet to an extraordinary extent we in the West continue to inhabit a moral and cultural universe shaped by the hedonistic imperatives and radical ideals of the Sixties. Culturally, morally the world we inhabit is increasingly a trash world: addicted to sensation, besieged everywhere by the cacophonous, mind-numbing din of rock music, saturated with pornography, in thrall to the lowest common denominator wherever question
Sigmund Freud - The Future of an Illusion
Immorality, no less than morality, has at all times found support in religion.
Robert Musil -
One must conform to the baseness of an age or become neurotic.
Sigmund Freud -
Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.
H. Rider Haggard - She
It is a well-known fact that very often, putting the period of boyhood out of the argument, the older we grow the more cynical and hardened we become; indeed, many of us are only saved by timely death from moral petrification, if not from moral corruption.
Israelmore Ayivor - Shaping the dream
Sentence every immoral thought for detention and prosecution. Immorality is a powerful gadget that brings down great monuments of success. Don’t entertain immorality.
Colin McGinn -
Our treatment of animals, in every department, is deeply and systematically immoral. Becoming a vegetarian is only the most minimal ethical response to the magnitude of the evil.
Fulton J. Sheen - Life of Christ
He told them therefore that He was not a Teacher asking for a disciple who would parrot His sayings; He was a Saviour Who first disturbed a conscience and then purified it. But many would never get beyond hating the disturber. The Light is no boon, except to those who are men of good will; their lives may be evil, but at least they want to be good. His Presence, He said, was a threat to sensuality, avarice, and lust. When a man has lived in a dark cave for years, his eyes cannot stand the light
Karen Armstrong - Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life
If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void. (95)
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah -
The quest to sin always knocks at the door of the heart, but behold! You have the right and will to open your door or never to mind the knocks, no matter how intense it is!
Fulton J. Sheen - Life of Christ
Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior.
Shannon L. Alder -
Immorality is the word we use to describe people that are not sinning the same way we are.
Justin K. McFarlane Beau -
A truly honorable person, would never convince another to stray, from their personal pursuit of honor. No, only one lacking this noble quality would try to justify and market, an existence without it.
Criss Jami -
When it comes to moral dilemmas and matters of discerning right justice, my natural sympathy so often happens to land on the opposite end of that of most of my peers. I sometimes wonder if this is nothing more than the misguidedness and the wickedness of my own heart. I wonder other times if God wires some of us in such a way so that fair discourse might then be provided, so that honest and unbiased, due process is ultimately more likely to be carried out. Perhaps it is all necessary for varianc
Lailah Gifty Akita -
Immorality leads to impurity.
Alysia Abbott - Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father
The disaster, as Dad and others saw it, was the emerging AIDS crisis and the cultural attacks instigated by conservative against gay men and women in the early 1980s. It was found in the cruel indifference of President Ronald Reagan, who wouldn’t publicly address the epidemic until the end of his second term, after twenty thousand Americans had died, and the hostile rhetoric of conservatives close to Reagan like Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, and Pat Buchanan, Reagan’s future spee
Noah Webster -
When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.
Nathaniel Branden -
The challenge for people today--and it is not and easy one--is to maintain high personal standards even while feeling that one is living in a moral sewer.
William Lane Craig -
So whom does God wrong in commanding the destruction of the Canaanites? Not the Canaanite adults, for they were corrupt and deserving of judgment. Not the children, for they inherit eternal life. So who is wronged? Ironically, I think the most difficult part of this whole debate is the apparent wrong done to the Israeli soldiers themselves. Can you imagine what it would be like to have to break into some house and kill a terrified woman and her children? The brutalising effect on these Israeli s
Karl Lagerfeld -
Fashion is neither moral or immoral, but it is for rebuilding the morale.
Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray
As for being poisoned by a book, there is no such thing as that. Art has no influence upon action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile. The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Dada Bhagwan -
Religion [dharma] is that where there is no irreligion (adharma, immorality). Religion cannot exist where there is irreligion. There can be only one or the other. Behind every intention, there is either [the force of] religion or [the force of] irreligion.
Bernard Cornwell - The Burning Land
Folk tell their children that success lies in working hard and being thrifty, but that is as much nonsense as supposing that a badger, a fox and a wolf could build a church. The way to wealth is to become a Christian bishop or a monastery's abbot and thus be imbued with heaven's permission to lie, cheat and steal your way to luxury.
Christine de Pizan - Der Sendbrief vom Liebesgott / The Letter of the God of Love
Does a rake deserve to possess anything of worth, since he chases everything in skirts and then imagines he can successfully hide his shame by slandering [women in general]?
Anonymous - Dives And Pauper
Wine and women make wise men dote and forsake God's law and do wrong." However, the fault is not in the wine, and often not in the woman. The fault is in the one who misuses the wine or the woman or other of God's crations. Even if you get drunk on the wine and through this greed you lapse into lechery, the wine is not to blame but you are, in being unable or unwilling to discipline yourself. And even if you look at a woman and become caught up in her beauty and assent to sin [= adultery; extram
Augustine of Hippo - Sermons 1-19
[Y]ou are not ashamed of your sin [in committing adultery] because so many men commit it. Man's wickedness is now such that men are more ashamed of chastity than of lechery. Murderers, thieves, perjurers, false witnesses, plunderers and fraudsters are detested and hated by people generally, but whoever will sleep with his servant girl in brazen lechery is liked and admired for it, and people make light of the damage to his soul. And if any man has the nerve to say that he is chaste and faithful
Criss Jami - Killosophy
I find it a challenge to cooperate in a society where it's considered moral to critique a résumé yet immoral to critique morality.
Jeffrey Tayler -
Killing, raping and looting have been common practices in religious societies, and often carried out with clerical sanction. The catalogue of notorious barbarities – wars and massacres, acts of terrorism, the Inquisition, the Crusades, the chopping off of thieves’ hands, the slicing off of clitorises and labia majora, the use of gang rape as punishment, and manifold other savageries committed in the name of one faith or another — attests to religion’s longstanding propensity to induce barbarity,
Randy Alcorn - The Purity Principle: God's Safeguards for Life's Dangerous Trails
It's always easier to avoid temptation than to resist it.
Randy Alcorn - The Purity Principle: God's Safeguards for Life's Dangerous Trails
We are [God's] by creation, and again by redemption. He has every right to tell me what to do with my mind and body. I have. I right to do whatever I want with my body.
Michael Bassey Johnson -
Anger is like sex urge, once gratified, the inner voice calls you a stinking fool.
Michael Bassey Johnson -
In entirety, valentine is a FUCKING DAY, rather than the sanctity of its literal meaning.
Christopher Hitchens - Letters to a Young Contrarian
I find something repulsive about the idea of vicarious redemption. I would not throw my numberless sins onto a scapegoat and expect them to pass from me; we rightly sneer at the barbaric societies that practice this unpleasantness in its literal form. There's no moral value in the vicarious gesture anyway. As Thomas Paine pointed out, you may if you wish take on a another man's debt, or even to take his place in prison. That would be self-sacrificing. But you may not assume his actual crimes as
Christopher Hitchens - Letters to a Young Contrarian
You can see the same immorality or amorality in the Christian view of guilt and punishment. There are only two texts, both of them extreme and mutually contradictory. The Old Testament injunction is the one to exact an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (it occurs in a passage of perfectly demented detail about the exact rules governing mutual ox-goring; you should look it up in its context (Exodus 21). The second is from the Gospels and says that only those without sin should cast the first
Fulton J. Sheen - Life of Christ
The wicked fear the good, because the good are a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars; they fear religion when it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences.
