"What theology, history and common sense have taught me is that the civilizations which allow the gap to widen between the ideal to which they claim and the realizations which they propose of it, these civilizations are dying of their hypocrisy.“

"You are a sinful nation, weighed down by lawlessness. A race of corrupt and wicked children, you have forsaken your Lord, despised the Holy One of Israel, and turned your backs to him."
Isaiah 1:4
"From the least to the greatest, they are greedy for unjust gains - and from prophet to priest they all deal falsely. They have treated the suffering of my people carelessly, saying, ‘Peace’ when there is no peace. They act shamefully, they bring forth abominations. And yet they are not ashamed, and do not even know how to blush. In the days of judgement they will stumble, and shall be found among those who are fallen."
Jeremiah 6:13-15
"We have learned nothing, and are emboldened by our willful ignorance. We make beasts of ourselves, to avoid the pain of our lack of humanity. We make a private cult out of our own childlike selfishness, sinning shamelessly against the word and the spirit. We lay down with swine, and call it greatness."
Jesse, 8 October 2021
