Christopher PikeNo religion is perfect, not after man gets through with it.
About This Quote
No religion is perfect. We often try to find God in nature, in the stars, in music, or in the mountains. But there is no religion that is perfect. For instance, Judaism would be considered perfect if it had never been changed by man.
But it has been changed by man and it is no longer perfect. Islam would be considered perfect if it had never been changed by man. But it has been changed by man and it is no longer perfect.
Christianity would be considered perfect if it had never been changed by man. But it has been changed by man and it is no longer perfect. This idea of perfection is an illusion that makes us believe we can find God anywhere but he isn't there.
