Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Does Reason Prevent People From Believing in God?


By Elder Epiphanios Theodoropoulos

Sin is what prevents us from believing in God, not reason. For this reason, if you tell an atheist to live six months according to the ethics of the Gospel, and they do it, they will become a believer without knowing it.

"I don't believe in God" is usually said by vicious and immoral people. There has not been found nor will there be found a person who is moral, chaste, virtuous, etc. and is able to say with ease: "There is no God!"
