"No egoism is so insufferable as that of the Christian with regard to his soul"
- W. Somerset Maugham
About this Quote
This quote by W. Somerset Maugham is a criticism of the egoism of some Christians. It suggests that some Christians have an inflated sense of their own value and worth, and that this is particularly insufferable. This egoism is seen in the manner in which some Christians view their own souls as being more crucial than those of others. This attitude is seen in the manner in which some Christians prioritize their own spiritual growth and salvation over the spiritual development and salvation of others. This quote is a suggestion that no one individual's soul is more important than another's, and that we ought to all aim to be simple and compassionate in our approach to our own spiritual development which of others.
"In this Epistle, the Apostle seeks, with great earnestness, to confirm the Christian converts in the belief of that Gospel, which he had so faithfully preached"
"How many Catholic schools do you think teach the students to question the authority of the Pope? Do you believe Christian schools teach students to question or challenge the authority of Jesus Christ? Do military schools teach the cadets to challenge the authority"
