Being here in the Middle East gives one a unique perspective on religion. For its has become sort of a crossroad where 3 major religions crossing paths, Islam, Judaism and Christianity. All three have been heavily institutionalized and divided ;like a cake or pie into so many different sects, and or cults that none of them resemble what the original was when it was first brought to light so to speak. Not even the founding language is the original. Latin replaced the Greek and Aramaic, then English was introduced.
