True religion should not be condemned for men's shortcomings any more than true science should be condemned for the errors of scientists, or great art for the failures of artists, or philosophy for the unacceptable theories of some philosophers, or marriage for the failure of many people to live it successfully.  Each of thes fields of human endeavor must be judged primarily for what it is at its best, and for what it can offer to us if we will folow its genuine purpose and method.
