"But what will become of men then?' I asked him, 'without God and immortal life? All things are lawful then, they can do what they like?"

Your a super duper genius with a decoder ring: Why don't you tell us what it means? Try including the context of the passage in your answer. Your link, like most of your arguments, doesn't work BTW.

My father clung to his Catholic faith with such reasoning. However he was alone in a refuge for scoundrels, pedophiles and general misfits. If there ever is a revolution, first the priests and then the lawyers.

We all know what good men like greg or e have on their minds...

"Look here, hopelessly drunk, and she has just come down the boulevard. There is no telling who and what she is, she does not look like a professional. It's more likely she has been given drink and deceived somewhere... for the first time... you understand? and they've put her out into the street like that. Look at the way her dress is torn, and the way it has been put on: she has been dressed by somebody, she has not dressed herself, and dressed by unpractised hands, by a man's hands; that's evident. And now look there: I don't know that dandy with whom I was going to fight, I see him for the first time, but he, too, has seen her on the road, just now, drunk, not knowing what she is doing, and now he is very eager to get hold of her, to get her away somewhere while she is in this state... that's certain, believe me, I am not wrong. I saw him myself watching her and following her, but I prevented him, and he is just waiting for me to go away. Now he has walked away a little, and is standing still, pretending to make a cigarette.... Think how can we keep her out of his hands, and how are we to get her home?"

Doesn't matter whether its an exact quote or by Dostoevsky directly or a character in his novel.

Its still accurate. Nietzsche knew it too.
