Religions Mature into Imperfection

Religions may start as sublime in their beginnings and their core doctrines, but slowly they mature into something which lacks perfection.

In addition to “love, compassion and forgiveness” of Dalai Lama, there are some more things in common in religions: misapplying holy scriptures through selective study and decoding, seeing ourselves as God’s charge d’affaires, claiming to be the lone owner of the truth and all the roads to salvation, positioning the ideal portrayal of one’s own religion with the apparently defective truth of other religions, etc.

As other human run establishments, all religions are equally vulnerable to pollution and exploitation.
