As long as the Temple remained standing, animal sacrifices were being conducted by the apostate Jewish priesthood. They were going through the religious motions to keep up the appearance of righteousness to deceive the people. The people believed the ark of the covenant was behind the veil in Herod’s Temple, like in the Tabernacle of Moses. Since the destruction of Solomon’s Temple, there had been no ark in the Holy of Holies. This is why it was significant when the veil was torn from the top to the bottom when Jesus died, to reveal the absence of the ark. Cindye Coates

And when it comes to the millions of small and tedious good deeds that are needed for a society to function with charity, honesty, and kindness, a shortage of believing Christians will lead to that society’s decay. Peter Hitchens

Among the favorite arguments of the irreligious—one that they almost invariably advance in the opening offensive of their attacks on faith—is this: that conflicts fought in the name of religion are necessarily conflicts about religion. By saying this, the irreligious hope to establish that religion is of itself a cause of conflict. This is a crude factual misunderstanding. Peter Hitchens
