About This Quote
In the late 19th century, a professor of history at an American university made a statement that became a famous quote. He said, "The moment the religious population of the world begins to see the prophets what they really were - mortal teachers of the mortal world," a great portion of the world's religious conflicts shall vanish into thin air. This thought is quite stunning because it emphasizes that the true value of religion lies not in believing or worshipping certain things, but in teaching people how to live their lives.
