@strypey @lightweight Teaching was how they could afford to do scholarship. The key here is that they were doing it because God, they were on a holy mission. This is the motivation we need to get back. The reaction you are currently having to this statement is exactly why we don't have this any more. Our dominant religions have become so corrupted that we rightfuly revile them. But without a motivation based on service only to truth and love we are not going to solve this problem.
