Just a few thoughts
·
I came across this comment by well-known Rabbi
Heschel who warns us that religion can become “insipid.” He writes: “It is
customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the
eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame
religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but
because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is
completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the
crisis of today is ignored because of the splendour of the past; when faith
becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in
the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion - its message
becomes meaningless.”
