yes I agree A'isha.... NOT a set of rules.... perhaps a set of values/ethics that maybe did not really exist previously???
also I think the MASSES need to be educated or at least gain knowledge of OTHER ways... for instance.. if I was a member of a fundamental church... & became a hell raising BELLY DANCE sinner.... most clerics in charge would NOT educate the masses (other people in the church) as to what belly dancing REALLY was... only that they must NEVER talk to me again (god forbid I would convert them over to the "church of perpetual undulations"!) but shun me until I mend my evil ways!!... thereby the masses would be cut off from possible education (expansion of horizons??) from me as well..
yes! ALL world leaders are educated... & they know they want to keep their subjects in the dark... or else someone may start thinking.... "Hey.. maybe there is a better way".... if you look at Hitler for instance... one of the 1st things he did was change the educational systems in Germany (to his way of thinking) BEFORE he began invading OTHER countries... he started controllong/converting the "masses" in his own!!!
also we could look at birth control... the catholic church does not want it's subjects to be even AWARE of the IDEA (hard to control in Western world.... am talking now of 3rd world countries)... because then some of them (the masses) might think it was a good idea!!! & look what the gov't here is US has been trying to with sex ed in high schools.. (NO education is a good education!)...
so yeah... seems most all "religions" are trying to repress "us"!
eeekkkkk ... instead of running.... what can WE do ????
