I’m starting to think you don’t have to believe in God to be religious.
I like Mark Twain’s quote:
“Loyalty to petrified opinion never broke a chain or freed a human soul.”
The sad thing is when petrified opinions are given power to destroy:
“Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”
Blaise Pascal
It seems clear to me the chaos we are seeing in 2020 is politically motivated. But what is most disconcerting are the politically motivated actions being discharged with such religious convictions.
