I had an epiphany..

I just had an epiphany, you know, realized something. Wonder what your take is on it..
Go back in history, just before Muhammad's time. People were given prior scriptures. They distorted the messages. Most noticibly
1-A prophet called Issa was hero worshipped all the way to being part of some trinity. Jesus taken to the status of god.
2-People bogged down by silly worthless rituals.
3-People using no upstairs, no brains, no rationality behind their 'faith' in the perversions, and fighting anyone who challenged that mentality.
4-People adding alleged words of another human into the holy scriptures, and giving them more value than the actual scripture. The additions in bible and all.
Then, Prophet Muhammad comes, get a wahi, and changes the entire ignorance into enlightenment. Using Quran, he changes everything. He eliminates hero worshipping. Eliminated rituals. Quran taught his followers to use their heads. Quran alone was the source of guidance, preserved for atleast two more centuries.
Now look at the present world
1- A prophet called Muhammad, although not taken to the same status as Issa in Christianity, is still given more value than he ever intended or Quran gives.
2-People bogged down by silly worthless rituals.
3-People using no upstairs, no brains, no rationality behind their 'faith' in the perversions, and fighting anyone who challenged that mentality.
4-People adding alleged words of another human into the holy scriptures, and giving them more value than the actual scripture. The additions such as hadiths.
Do you see the remarkable resemblence in the 'state' of human mentality? After so many centuries, have we humans REALLY progressed, as we like to boast?
