American society is riddled with "Devout Congregations" embracing an infinite number of varying interpretations of "The Bible".
Some American "Ministers" even invent new religions and are well subscribed, ALL convinced that they serve "The Almighty.
The "Passage" you proffer is brilliantly adequate in summarizing the "Yanks" and the "Good Works" they are UNFIT for.
The "Holy Bible" is constantly under fire and subject to changes to suit those in power, periodic gatherings of the "Holy" leaders are forever a feature of the "Learned " as they try to determine/re-arrange meanings of the written word in order to suit themselves.
NOT SO with the "Noble Qur'an" which is quite clear in it's statement "As it is written, so let it be done" and regardless of ALL the controversial arguments that such statement attracts, not ONE word [or even letter thereof] can ever be changed.
I personally think that "The Almighty" would prefer such a situation, one knows where one stands don't you agree ?.
Look upon the "Yanks" in the "Light" of what is written and you may also see the "Light".......but I have my doubts.
