On the Church

I guess that it can be told with respect to the Church what Mises told about the utilitarian philosophy, that it

"does not look upon the rules of morality as upon arbitrary laws imposed upon man by a tyrannical Deity with which man has to comply without asking any further questions. To behave in compliance with the rules that are required for the preservation of social cooperation is for man the only means to attain safely all those ends that he wants to attain."
