"if God does not exist, everything is permitted,"
(dostoievski: "the karamazov brothers")
(dedicated to the great carlos olabarri)
"Kolakowski [! ], in his line of thinking, has very emphatically pointed out that deleting faith in God, however one may try to spin or turn it, ultimately deprives moral values of their grounding. If the world and man do not come from a creative intelligence, which stores within itself their measures and plots the path of human existence, then all that is left are traffic rules for human behaviour, which can be discarded or mantained according to their usefulness."
