From George Orwell's "Reflections on Gandhi".
[Gandhi's faith, but this appplies to ours as well, to Christianity,] cannot be squared with the belief that Man is the measure of all things and that our job is to make life worth living on this earth, which is the only earth we have... it is not necessary to argue here whether the other-worldly or the humanistic ideal is ‘higher.’ ...
The point is that they are incompatible. [emphasis mine]
One must choose between God and Man, and all ‘radicals’ and ‘progressives,’ from the mildest liberal to the most extreme anarchist, have in effect chosen Man.”
Not in some kingdom lightyears away?
Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...
