“Some such people experience religion as a kind of hell. They make prostrations and cross themselves in church and they say, ‘We are unworthy sinners’. Then as soon as they come out they start to blaspheme everything holy whenever someone upsets them a little. It is very clear that there is something demonic in this. In fact, the Christian religion transforms people and heals them. The most important precondition, however, for someone to recognize and discern the truth is humility. Egotism darkens a person’s mind, it confuses him, it leads him astray to heresy. It is important for a person to understand the truth.”
(Elder St. Porphyrios in ‘Wounded by Love’)
