"The first mark of intelligence, to be sure, is not to start things; the second mark of intelligence is to pursue to the end what you have started."

Religions are not revealed: they are evolved. If a religion were revealed by God, that religion would be perfect in whole and in part, and would be as perfect at the first moment of its revelation as after ten thousand years of practice. There has never been a religion which fulfills those conditions.
