Like Jesus centuries before him, the Master warned people about religion. Left to itself, religion sanctified blind observance of the law.
This is how he put it:
A commanding officer asked some recruits why walnut was used for the butt of a rifle.
"Because it has more resistance," said one.
"Wrong!"
"Because it has more elasticity," said another.
"Wrong again!"
"Perhaps because it has a better shine than other woods," said the third people.
"Don't be a fool," said the officer. "Walnut is used because it is required in the regulations."
