==Quotation==

Evolutionary man does not naturally relish hard work. To keep pace in his life [[experience]] with the impelling demands and the compelling urges of a growing religious experience means incessant activity in [[spiritual]] growth,[[ intellect]]ual expansion, [[fact]]ual enlargement, and social service. There is no real [[religion]] apart from a highly active [[personality]]. Therefore do the more indolent of men often seek to escape the rigors of truly religious activities by a species of ingenious self-deception through resorting to a retreat to the false shelter of stereotyped religious doctrines and dogmas. But true religion is alive. [[Intellectual]] crystallization of religious concepts is the equivalent of spiritual death. You cannot conceive of religion without [[idea]]s, but when religion once becomes reduced only to an idea, it is no longer religion; it has become merely a species of human [[philosophy]].[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper102.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper102.html&line=56#mfs]
