Karl Popper Quotes

Historically, All Ethics Undoubtedly Begin With Religion; But I Do Not Now Deal With Historical Questions. I Do Not Ask Who Was The First Lawgiver. I Only Maintain That It Is We, And We Alone, Who Are Responsible For Adopting Or Rejecting Some Suggested Moral Laws; It Is We Who Must Distinguish Between The True Prophets And The False Prophets. All Kinds Of Norms Have Been Claimed To Be God-given. If You Accept 'Christian' Ethics Of Equality And Toleration And Freedom Of Conscience Only Because Of Its Claim To Rest Upon Divine Authority, Then You Build On A Weak Basis; For It Has Been Only Too Often Claimed That Inequality Is Willed By God, And That We Must Not Be Tolerant With Unbelievers. If, However, You Accept The Christian Ethics Not Because You Are Commanded To Do So But Because Of Your Conviction That It Is The Right Decision To Take, Then It Is You Who Have Decided.
