Thank you for this. Organized religion is how men control other people--it is not designed to meet our spiritual needs, rather it is designed to set up a hierarchy by which some men may rule over everybody else.

What wisdom was original captured in scripture has been largely lost, as you point out so well.

When we rely on others to translate ancient texts we give them far too much power. We have been taught all clergy are trustworthy and good, but have insurmountable evidence to the contrary.

And now we have Q to give those pathologically inclined a new home for their hatred, conspiracy theories and perversions of reality and scripture.

What you've done here is very brave and much needed. I applaud you, loudly.
