I Am.
I am Not.
Very few people are able to accept the things I believe, and if many knew, they would not be my friends, would disassociate themselves from me, might even want me locked up. Truth hurts; If you don't want to know, don't ask.
I am not interested in butting egos. I am interested in fixing the world.
"My hands are my servant and my feet are my mount;
The earth is my bed, a stone my pillow;
My blanket in the winter is the east of the earth and my lamp in the night is the moon;
My stew is hunger and my motto is fear;
My garment is wool and my fruit and my basil what grows from the earth for wild beasts and cattle.
I sleep while I have nothing and I rise while I have nothing, and yet there is no one on earth wealthier than I."
-- Yeshua' ha-Mashiach/'Iysaa-l-Maseeh/Jesus the Messiah.

Imaam Ja'far-us-Saadiq ('a) addressing Basheer, a believer: O Basheer, remember that those of our community who do not attain the knowledge of religious jurisprudence will not gain any merit. Because, the one who has no knowledge of religious jurisprudence will have to depend on others, and the one who depends on others will be led by them through the gates of ignorance and the members of our community will remain unaware of this misguidance.(al-Kaafiy, Book ii, Ch. 2, Saying 6)
Imaam Ja'far-us-Saadiq ('a) was requested to comment on the verse: They have taken their religious leaders and their monks as their overlords besides God… (Qur'aan, 9:31)
The Imaam ('a) explained: By God! They (the religious leaders and monks) never asked them for their worship. Had they invited them, they would never have responded positively. Actually the leaders and monks have pronounced lawful what was unlawful and vice versa. Thus, they worship them unknowingly (by following their innovations).(al-Kaafiy, Book ii, Ch. 18, Saying 1)
