Here are some quotations from the Russian novelist, Leo Tolstoy. He was a strong Christian and saw through the rising myths of the 19th Century. Our hope is in learning to see beyond today’s myths into God's truth. Tolstoy can help us bust modern day myths and find hope in God.
“People become slaves when they let themselves drift into the habits of society for the sake of following fashion.” –Leo Tolstoy
“Actions and beliefs of an evil nature are wrong even if many people follow them, and even boast about them.” –Leo Tolstoy (See my post on The “Casual” Sex Make Believe).
“Accepting as truth that which is offered by academics and scientists, without stopping to examine it by the exercise of our own reason, is the superstition of science.” –Leo Tolstoy
“Much of modern science, spreading harmful beliefs, such as that life is solely a product of material forces, deserves only contempt and ridicule.” –Leo Tolstoy (See my post on the Modern Make Believe of Evolution.)
“The cause of our unfortunate social conditions is that our youths are taught useless and utter nonsense rather than the meaning of life and how to live it.” –Leo Tolstoy (Think about the condition of our schools today.)
“True strength is not muscle, money, or power, but rather mastery over self.” –Leo Tolstoy
“Today, scientists are blindly believed as priests were in ages past.” –Leo Tolstoy
