"Organized Christianity has always represented immortality as a sort of common heritage; but I never could see why spiritual life should not be conditioned on the same terms as all life, i. e., correspondence with environment"

- Albert J. Nock

About this Quote

In this quote, Albert J. Nock is wondering about the suggestion of immortality as a global right. He recommends that spiritual life ought to go through the exact same problems as all life, suggesting that it should be dependent on the setting. This implies that spiritual life ought to be earned, rather than simply offered. Notch is challenging the standard sight of Christianity, which suggests that immortality is a given right. He thinks that spiritual life ought to be made with an individual's activities as well as their capability to adjust to their environment. This quote highlights Nock's modern sights on faith and spirituality, and his idea that spiritual life must be made, rather than simply given.
