Still, we don't see many clergies doing the same in other religions and people getting affected by it, that much. Or they have come a long way since that used to happen with them? Can/will be transform?
And do you think that if the central Muslim authorities (read: plural) and clergies don't introduce reforms, if they don't change with time, there's a chance that they will go extinct and powerless (more and more people already have started questioning these retards, than before) like the Roman catholic church?
Yeah, the greatest fear of humans is the fear of the unknown and since nobody has returned from death (except Lazarus maybe) to tell the story of the beyond, first hand. People need someone for reassurance and hope. See, I understand the basics of it, but I can't figure out the solution. Not an effective one, at least.
Everything is connected with money, that is what I always say. Looks, education, personality, quality, caliber whatever else you call it, don't matter. The same is true for religion, always has been.
"In God we trust, all others pay taxes" huh?
