W -11 d4

The prophets who bring the word from the Highest must however convey it in human tongue for man to understand. Moses though well versed in statecraft law and folklore, as befitting a prince brought up in the palace of Egypt, admitted his slowness of speech. So he entrusted the matter to his half-brother Aaron. Aaron had a greater gift of the gab obviously.
The idea of any religion is plain. There ought to be no mistaking as to the intent of the Highest be it personified by a human agency or any other. It must at the same time be universal so humans wherever they may be found can grasp it. Otherwise it should be treated as private.
As any matter where human agency gets in between, there is likelihood of getting the message mixed up. As a typical example of this some Bible scholars would point to the hard sayings of Jesus. By lifting some of his sayings out of its context or holding back some other we make nonsense out of Jesus’ words. If the life of Jesus reveals love and humility let us try to imitate them in our own lives. These qualities cut across all religions and persuasions.
Tailpiece: It is in practice religion shows its ugly side.
