Religion is a disease.
@doorstar, what do you say?
both a disease and a cure. anything perverted beyond the basics is a dangerous sickness. like mine is the best, yours is the worst and needs to be eliminated. I studied on many religions including Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and more. therefore know a little bit about them all (including latter day additions/perversions).
there is a Pakistani adage I quite like: neem hakeem khatra e jaan, neem mullah khatra e eemaan, roughly means that a fake doctor is a danger to life and a fake scholar is a danger to faith.
all the fakes ought to be banned and punished, there ought to be government approved theology schools, colleges and universities like we have here. I understand Chinese are on that path now too. also I hear that Pakistan is also thinking on those line at present.
there's an Islamic text that I quite like (which no-one on Pdf or the internet wants to follow but nonetheless it exists and if everyone believed in it the disease of intolerance will be no more:
Say, “O disbelievers,
I worship not that which you worship,
Nor will you worship that which I worship.
Nor will I worship those whom you worship;,
Nor will you worship that which I worship.
To you your Way, and to me mine.
I once tried to bring together Catholics and Shias of the PDF together and guess what happened?
alright no need to guess almost everyone except Brother waz wanted to lynch me see @
