This quote highlights the interdependence between faith and personal integrity. When one's character diminishes or compromises moral principles, faith can become superficial or inactive. True faith is rooted in a strong character that upholds values and demonstrates authenticity. Without moral strength, religious or spiritual beliefs risk becoming mere rituals devoid of genuine meaning. Maintaining personal integrity is essential for fostering a resilient and sincere faith that can withstand life's challenges.

Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell
