THE TRUE KEEPERS .......

Islam like practically all other religions , belong in our times to the populace , to the limited and ignorant interpreters , to the uneducated and non thinkers .  This is why it will be a very hard task for all Musslems to accept reshaping or rethinking it's laws , regulations and various metaphors , to suit modernity and the 21st century evolving mind .


All religions , especially the 3 surviving monotheistic ones in our times share this aspect , as fewer and continuously  less educated thinkers are seriously taking over in theological and historical preaching  , rendering the words , metaphors , myths and doctrines belonging to thousands of years back meaningless for modern people . Only the folklore and the primitive brutality of it all persist today .


It is a sign of our modernity whereby lower classes in education and social status as well as financial status , are the ones assuming religiosity and trying to apply its regulations to actual lives through various degrees of literalism and fanaticism . All religions come originally with a sense of supremacy , internally built with mechanisms of disdain to others , almost dehumanizing the non adherents , it's only later in their cycles that maturity and respect take hold and manage to survive along other faiths and secular institutions and laws .  This is always achieved at the hands of higher and better thinkers and not the populace .


Unfortunately neither Islam nor Judaism have in our times achieved these levels , they are both still living old dreams of hegemony , brutality and religious theocracies , at the hands of their general uneducated populace and their ignorant manipulators . Rural Arab masses are generally Musslems and will be for a long time the keepers and procrastinators of archaic Islam , so are a whole class of religious poorer Jews ,manifesting themselves in Orthodoxy or as settlers , who are de facto the custodians and promoters of old biblical supremacy , vengeance and blind brutality .


Religions in general are loosing the ability to renew themselves as the myth of progress , and in our times religions and dogmas are not identified with the increase of education , knowledge , wealth and power . The peasantry , the commoners , call them the lower castes if you will have the upper hands , by letting themselves be manipulated and brain washed by few ignorant interpreters and  profiteer  politicians thirsty for blood and power . All of course working for God's glory .


It used to be called " the tyranny of the masses" , now in modern times , religions and religiosity are practically  the only power left to the populace and masses , giving them the power of vengeance against all others and all forms of progress and modernity . The major problem with the masses and religions and their books , is that the populace can only grasp and apply the words literally , for the day to day life and its details , but fail almost totally at the metaphysical and philosophical meditative levels .  We seriously risk loosing our world to these forces by keeping our minds shut .
