Topic: Devout


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
 [No title]
But even after this chastening of the devout fancy, and the consequent mitigation of the harsher traits of conduct and character that are currently imputed to the divinity, there still remains in the popular apprehension of the divine nature and temperament a very substantial residue of the barbarian conception.
Devout observances are of economic importance as an index of a concomitant variation of temperament, accompanying the predatory habit of mind and so indicating the presence of industrially disserviceable traits.
The cults of the lower-class devout portion of the community, such as the Southern Negroes and the backward foreign elements of the population, of course also show a strong inclination to ritual, symbolism, and spectacular effects; as might be expected from the antecedents and the cultural level of those classes.

 D&D 3E Monsters - The Devout
The devout are created from the most fervent and devout followers of Maragh'ghoul, who willingly undergo a ritual in which they are embalmed alive, wrapped in linens inscribed with eldritch runes and infused with rare, magical herbs, and imbued with the essence of unlife, the better to serve their mistress.
Although the devout might at first appear to be slow and clumsy, they are surprisingly quick in combat, using their great strength and spells to combat opponents.
Energy levels inflicted by the devout cannot be restored by priests of Maragh'ghoul unless the victim also undergoes an atonement and accepts a quest for the church.

 The devout life - By Sean Kinsella - Homiletic & Pastoral Review - March 2001
The love of God, the living of the devout life, is the perfection of everything we do and is suited to each person according to their state in life.
The importance of prayer in the Introduction to the Devout Lifecannot be underestimated.
Prayer is what brings us to the devout life; it is the means by which the devout life is expressed; it maintains that life through virtue and the avoidance of vice; and it continually brings to the devout life refreshment and renewal.

Chapter Twelve Devout Observances A discoursive rehearsal of certain incidents of modern life will show the organic relation of the anthropomorphic cults to the barbarian culture and temperament.
It will likewise serve to show how the survival and efficacy of the cults and he prevalence of their schedule of devout observances are related to the institution of a leisure class and to the springs of action underlying that institution.
In this as in other relations, the institution of a leisure class acts to conserve, and even to rehabilitate, that archaic type of human nature and those elements of the archaic culture which the industrial evolution of society in its later stages acts to eliminate.

 Introduction To The Devout Life Saint Francis de Sales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Another man reckons himself as devout because he repeats many prayers daily, although at the same time he does not refrain from all manner of angry, irritating, conceited or insulting speeches among his family and neighbours.
The ostrich never flies,--the hen rises with difficulty, and achieves but a brief and rare flight, but the eagle, the dove, and the swallow, are continually on the wing, and soar high;--even so sinners do not rise towards God, for all their movements are earthly and earthbound.
And therefore we cannot call him who neglects to observe all God's Commandments either good or devout, because in order to be good, a man must be filled with love, and to be devout, he must further be very ready and apt to perform the deeds of love.

 Wampum: Professor Bainbridge’s Frivolous Disparate Impact Case
The Democrat litmus test for judges has a disparate impact on devout Catholic and Evangelical nominees for judicial office, which is a perfectly appropriate ground for criticizing that litmus test.
If Professor Bainbridge thinks that Democrats have discriminated against “devout Christians,” it is incumbent on him to demonstrate which of the nominees are “devout Christians” and which are not.
We then add the complication that whether or not such nominees are “devout” is likely to be a matter of opinion.
