In preparing an egg for breakfast you crack it, throw out the shell and keep the egg.
If you threw out both shell and egg someone might have you committed.
In preparing a watermelon for consumption you slice it and then dig in to the luscious red fruit in the middle.
If you threw away the fruit along with the uneatable rind people would begin to talk about you in a not too flattering manner.
And, a final analogy…suppose you washed a baby in clean water and afterwards the baby was clean but the water was dirty…and you then threw out no only the dirty water but the baby as well…people would wonder at your sanity.
And yet people do this with religious all the time… see things about it and the people in it they do not like …and then throw away religion.
Not a wise thing to do…to throw away a first rate God because some of his followers are second rate citizens. ****************************************************************
Oh, yes, and as to what religion is. Its original meaning is quite clear. It comes from the Latin word “re” meaning “back” and “ligare” meaning “to bind.”
Religion therefore means that which “binds back” or reunites man with God.
