Funny, I hear people say that at a higher level: Religion is a social disease.
I will concede one thing though that ancient Persia was far ahead of any other Islamic cultures anywhere. In fact pre-Islamic Persia was a very advanced civilisation. The art of constructing the dome was first perfected in Persia. All that Muslims of today can boast about is all that they have inherited from the Persians.
Jesus came to make ALL religion obsolete, AND DID..
Even yours and MINE..
External religion vacuums up Money..
Internal religion vacuums up Time...
Jesus came to make a family not an corporation..
The Messiah is not about a job, Messiah is about an adventure..
