Orthodox Quote for February 7
“It is perhaps no coincidence, then, that as a growing number of people profess no religion, ‘lying is on the rise’. In the present context, ‘winning’ (that is, securing a narrow, earthly victory) takes precedence over honesty and other moral virtues…your struggle is predicated on false pretenses; ‘your’ truth consists of whatever maximizes pleasure in this life, as there is no afterlife in which you will pay for your injustices. Is it any wonder, then, that we are increasingly distrustful of our institutions, as well as each other?”
