KH on religion


Often today man chooses to place an undue reliance on ceremonial, orders, Churches, creeds and their equivalent.
.
Not thinking for a moment what they have become.
.
Thereby sacrificing the virility of individual effort and freedom of thought.
.
The Master K. H. writes in very clear terms on this subject, and it may be well to quote his own words. 
.
And now after making due allowance for evils that are natural and cannot be avoided . . . I will point out the greatest, the chief cause of nearly two-thirds of the evils that pursue humanity ever since that cause became a power. 
.
It is religion under whatever form and in whatsoever nation. 
.
It is the sacerdotal caste, the priesthood and the Churches.
.
It is in those illusions that man looks upon as sacred.
.
That he has to search out the source of that multitude of evils which is the great curse of humanity, and that almost overwhelms mankind. 
.
Ignorance created Gods, and cunning took advantage of the opportunity.
.
And again "Far from our thoughts may it ever be to erect a new hierarchy for the future oppression of a priest ridden world."  
.
The inference and the message of these words in our own times is sufficiently clear.
.
Have you ever thought about the damage done in the name of religion?
.
What is literally an evil with hundreds, no thousands of religions globally touting their messages.
.
All claiming to be the one truth.
.
If you have seen this what have you done?
.
Supporting evil is not cool.
