The only Good Religion … (09/06/17)

“Conventionality is has nothing to do with morality, just as self-righteousness has little to do with any worthy religion. As such, to attack those former is not to assail those latter.  To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift a heretical hand to the Crown of Christ.  Indeed these two deeds are diametrically opposed: as distinct as is vice from virtue – as separate as Truth from deception.  Men often confound them: that which should never be confounded.  Appearance should never be mistaken for substance; just as narrow human doctrines (that only elate and magnify a few at the dismissal of the many) should never be substituted for the world-redeeming creed of truly Divine Love. There is a grand difference here; and it is a good, and not a bad action to mark boldly and clearly a line of separation between them.” ~ inspired by Charlotte Bronte
