fish trapped in a pond of old water.

The problem with Islam and Christianity is that many centuries ago somebody had the idea of writing down beliefs. So now some religious people are stuck with the culture and knowledge of centuries ago. They are fish trapped in a pond of old water.


Just let that marinate in your mind a little bit. 

And while doing that also realize that despite being written down that these religions DO indeed evolve when fresher ideas are introduced. However when the community (ie body of water) isolates itself it does indeed continue to view the archaic and outdated ideas that are written in their various religious tomes as, if you will pardon the word, the Gospel.

No wonder those who maintain power by keeping the populous superstitious and clinging to ancient beliefs, argue against education and fear the internet.
