The Highland minister wound up his services one morning by saying, " Next Sunday I am going to preach on the subject of liars. In preparation for my sermon, I should like you all to read the 17th Chapter of Mark."
On the following Sunday, the minister rose to begin, and said," Now then, all of you who have read the 17th Chapter of Mark, please raise your hands. " Nearly every hand in the small congregation went up. Then said the minister, " You are the very people I want to talk to. There is no 17th Chapter of Mark ! "

Very ture, human beings has tendency not to read until unless they are taught this habit form the very beginning of their lives.
Should we have READ & understood our respecitve religions then Clergymen would never have been able to Use us at all in the name of Religion for their not-so-religious designs.
It goes very true for the Muslim throng who prefer to read Koran in Arabic & are not aware much what God is saying in His Book.
Plus, should the Christians have been reading their Books as well, then they would have understood the message of God better and must have reverted back to Judaism or might have converted to Islam.
As for Jewish, it is good to see that most of them are learned in their religion but it disturbs me when I see them having sects in their practicing religion.

properly, while the finished ingredient began, there became into no concern with monks being married. the finished thou shalt no longer shag with a woman deal all started as a Catholic way of exerting administration over their minions. because of the fact that then, maximum Protestant faiths have decrease back to the "shag-away" mentality because it is fit and leads to fewer adult men molesting infants. i do no longer think of that the gospel demands that a guy no longer understand married existence....i must be incorrect regardless of the undeniable fact that.

Well, there isn't a 17th chapter of Mark, if that's what you mean.

lol reminds me of the minister who lost his bicycle and preached to the congreg8tion on the 8th commandment ('thou shalt not steal' ) to shame them in2 'fessin'
When asked by his bishop the next day how it went..he said 'problem solved' ..'I read the 7th commandment and then I remembered where I left my bike!'
That's episcopalians fur ye ..all decadent & corrupt..they shall surely go to hell on their bikes! LOfL!
