"My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests."

~ George Santayana

This interests me. As a Jewish person, rather than a Christian, I'm not sure I'm entitled to an opinion - however, I'm curious about the responses of folks who identify as followers of Jesus.

A meaningful and truthful life is about growth and development, about challenging one’s assumptions and prejudices, and ultimately attempting to become a better individual. Imam al-Junayd, among the greatest of the Sufis, recognised this, he saw that truth did not exist in a stagnant state, it was a thing to be chased and sought after, not captured and caged. There is no such thing as a complacent truth-seeker.

"A faithful and truthful person changes states at least forty times a day, while a hypocrite remains in the same for forty years."

“We celebrate Christmas with the Prayer Book's provision for the feast, ‘as at this time’; with the sermons which, over centuries, have declared that ‘the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared’; and with the domestic and communal celebrations which have naturally marked the season.”
