The Seeker

CHAPTER XIV
13/19

There will be no sound morality until it is taught for its present advantage to the individual, and not for what it may bring him in a future world.

Not until then will it be taught effectively that the well-being of one is inextricably bound up with the well-being of all; that while man is always selfish, his selfish happiness is still contingent on the happiness of his brother." The moment of coffee had come.

The Unitarian lighted a black cigar and avidly demanded more reasons why the Christian religion was immoral.
"Still for the reason that it separates," continued Bernal, "separates not only hereafter but here.

We have kings and serfs, saints and sinners, soldiers to kill one another--God is still a God of Battle.
There is no Christian army that may not consistently invoke your God's aid to destroy any other Christian army--none whose spiritual guides do not pray to God for help in the work of killing other Christians.

So long as you have separation hereafter, you will have these absurd divisions here.
