Hypocrisy and distortion are passing currents under the name

Summary

This quote highlights the unfortunate reality that within the umbrella of religion, hypocrisy and distortion frequently prevail. It suggests that there are instances where individuals or groups espouse religious beliefs, but fail to uphold them genuinely or distort them for personal gain. This serves as a cautionary reminder that religion, as a human construct, is susceptible to misuse and manipulation, diverting from its intended moral principles. It underscores the need for critical examination and discernment to differentiate between genuine religious teachings and the deceptive forces present within organized religion.

We walked always in beauty, it seemed to me. We walked and looked about, or stood and looked. Sometimes, less often, we would sit down. We did not often speak. The place spoke for us and was a kind of speech. We spoke to each other in the things we saw.
