Jesus, Muhammad, et al. nowadays

. . . Jesus is not important to us right now. Jesus, Muhammad, and Moses are important to you if you want to live in the past.

Your problem as a people is you’ve been spending too much time in the past. You spend most of your arguments trying to prove whether or not Jesus has been crucified. Who cares? Or, (you debate) whether or not he’s black or white? That doesn’t mean disrespect Jesus, that’s not what I mean. I’m saying who cares. When you read a book and you find out that Jesus was crucified, then what?

. . . If it doesn’t pertain to what you are doing right now as a people, and if it’s not going to benefit you as a people, then it’s obsolete. It’s dead information. And, one of the tricks of the devil is that he keeps you locked up in the covers of dead books.

Now the latest thing is that everybody wants to be an Egyptologist and read the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I don’t want to read a book about dead people. I want to read the Egyptian book of the living. If I want to read an Egyptian book of the living, I have to go to your neighborhood and watch the Egyptians and see how they live; and I’m talking about yourself.
