>(...) Darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be thought more profitable than life; no one will raise his eyes to heaven ; the pious will be deemed insane, and the impious wise; the madman will be thought a brave man, and the wicked will be esteemed as good. As to the soul, and the belief that it is immortal by nature, or may hoe to attain to immortality, as I have taught you, all this they will mock at, and will even persuade themselves that it is false. No word of reverence or piety, no utterance worthy of heaven and of the gods of heaven, will be heard or believed.Then there's this, from a much more "modern" individual;
>Nothing and nobody is any longer in the right place; men no longer recognize any effective authority in the spiritual order or any legitimate power in the temporal; the 'profane' presume to discuss what is sacred, and to contest its character and even its existence;>the inferior judges the superior,>ignorance sets bounds to wisdom,>error prevails over truth,>the human is substituted for the Divine,>earth has priority over Heaven,>the individual sets the measure for all things and claims to dictate to the universe laws drawn entirely from his own relative and fallible reason.
