When Does Faith Become a Performance?

True goodness is a quiet force, a silent current that flows through a person's life and is revealed in their humility, their patience, and their kindness. It is not an announcement, but a lived reality. The genuinely good person does not need to declare their goodness; it is simply evident in the way they interact with the world. Therefore, we must be wary of those who put on a grand show of piety. Their presentation of a false self is the most telling sign that they cannot be trusted. By their very act of pretending to be more religious than they are, they are demonstrating a lack of integrity, making them unreliable and deserving of our deepest skepticism.
