Saint Anthony said, "A time is coming when men will go mad. They will take hold of you and say, 'You are mad. You are not like us.'" Welcome to the modern world. “I see myself as neither scientist nor religionist, but as a human being prepared to use various ways of knowing in the pursuit of truth. - Michael Cremo.” Why? Because what we do not know can kill us, or enslave us.

True Religion Is . . . .
The way to God lies through love of people. At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made. Instead I shall be asked, Did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says ‘I’: ‘I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison.’ To think that he puts an equal sign between himself and anyone in need. . . . I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated to my sinews. It fills me with awe.
