Movie: The Brothers Karamazov (1968)

The time has come to destroy the very idea of God in humanity. Here's where to start. Once humanity renounces God, then man himself will be exalted with the spirit of titanic pride, and a man-god will appear. And of course, in this new rank, a person with a light heart will jump over any moral obstacle. There is no law for God! Everything will be allowed to him! Everything! Everything! And the Sabbath!

But how, without God, then? Whom will a person love then? Who will be afraid of? Who will sing the hymn to? After all, then everything is possible, everything is allowed?

- And you have nothing to love, that's how he, how Alyosha loves.

- So, you are angry with your God, rebelled.
- I'm not rebelling against God; I just don't accept it.

- And why let down when everything depends on Dmitry Fedorovich alone?

But how can you live with this hell in my head? How is this possible?

And I confess that nothing understand why everything is so arranged. People blame themselves - they were given Paradise, but they wanted freedom, and stole fire from heaven. Therefore, and to regret something is nothing. But if they should suffer, for that suffering to purchase eternal harmony, and here children? Tell me, Alex, could you, erecting the building lives with purpose, to make people happy and give them finally at peace with the pain for all this, even if only one tiny creature? This baby?
- No, you couldn't.

I don't know, but... it is necessary to someone to tell the truth. Because here's why-the truth is no one does not want to say.

- I, brother, are very uneducated. But I do a lot of thinking. That's the beauty... It, brother, is a terrible thing. That the mind seems a shame that to heart entirely beauty. You knew it or not?
- No, I didn't.
- No wide man, even too broad. I would have narrowed. God knows what it is, that's what! Awful and Alyosha that beauty is not only terrible... but also a mysterious thing! Here the devil is struggling with God. And the battlefield is the hearts of the people.

To love is not to love. It is possible to love and hate!

It seems to me that such a law of nature to love humanity - does not exist. But if there was still love on the earth, not from the natural law, but only because people believe in its immortality. Destroy in mankind the belief, and it immediately runs out, not only love of neighbor but also any living power to continue life. Without faith in immortality, nothing would be immoral, everything the person will be permitted - literally everything. From selfishness to evil. And not only lawful but recognized as the most reasonable and appropriate outcome in his position.
