The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.

We lack rituals in this modern world.

Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world.

Many fall into the trap of championing the exact theology of a saint from the past, which can have errors and imbalances, and then they perpetuate these problems into the modern Christian world. Such believers are sadly being guided more by their zeal and reading of past saints than by their personal walk with the Lord and the guidance of the Spirit of God in their lives.

Had there been a lunatic asylum in the suburbs of Jerusalem, Jesus Christ would infallibly have been shut up in it at the outset of his public career. That interview with Satan on a pinnacle of the Temple would alone have damned him, and everything that happened after could but have confirmed the diagnosis.

No one in the modern world controls the wealth or territory that Cleopatra did.
