Jihad on the letter.

Who said the Jihad is bad?
Holy War serves Mankind,
When I wage it upon my own bad habits.


Ignore the facts or not

Historians claim: The text of the Bible has been tinkered with by Popes, translators and history. Chapters thrown out and some carefully chosen words in.
Historians claim: The Koran became less forgiving with Mohammed’s rise to power.
Historians claim: The oldest text of the Tao Te Tjing was discovered on separate wood planks that may have had a very different order
Historians claim: Many so-called words of the Buddha were only written years after his death.

So why then do some take these texts so literal?
Take the heart of these books and you enter the holy.
Take the letter and you will fall prey to human error.


Comment of the Sage: Literal belief in texts made small print in contracts acceptable.

Comment of the Fool: I trust the literal texts of those works better than the claims above. What do I know?
