Just A Thought ~ THE CRUTCH OF RELIGION

Organized religion is a crutch that is useful only if we cannot walk unaided, but which becomes an impediment after that. This ‘crutch,’ even so, must be understood as such rather than just followed blindly, because, like anything, it can be misused and often is. The Muslim concept of ‘Jihad’ or ‘Holy War,’ is an example of this; it really means an inner struggle against Ignorance, not hatred, violence, killing and war.
