"Doctrines, no matter which path of human endeavor they come from, must serve the humans, not the humans serving the doctrines. "Love thy neighbor - is a great doctrine, but more importantly, it is an unparalleled piece of magnificent human teaching " as such, whoever practices it, becomes a better human, a real human. On the other hand, there is another doctrine that says "God may purify the believers and destroy the disbelievers " now would you, as a real conscientious human being, consider this one as a great beneficial doctrine or teaching for humanity? Far from being great, doctrines like this are the ones that compel the human society to forget its innate humanism."
