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!

It is Easier for a Person to Abandon their Religion Rather than their Ego


By Metropolitan Meletios of Nikopolis

It is a thousand times easier for a person
to say and admit their religion is COMPLETELY WRONG,
rather than to say and admit that their thinking 
and their life is WRONG.
It is much easier for a person to abandon their religion
rather than their EGO,
and they are always looking for a religion 
that does not jeopardize their EGO.

From the book God, Christ, Other Religions
Translation by John Sanidopoulos.
