My interpretation... If there was a mad house in Jerusalem during it's formative years, the foundation of Judeo-Christian religions that we witness today would have been nipped in the bud long ago to pass into oblivion with the minds that created them. But there wasn't & here we are.

well the quote is obviously wrong, "The whole modern world" has a lot more than Judeo-Christian religions. some probably pre-dating it even

The info within the quote might be bias or incorrect but the quote itself is correct. Although I believe it's by Havelock, not Henry, Ellis. Cheers

The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. Henry Ellis. (I am getting these from my Concise Dictionary of Quotations.)

Put another way, the perfection of perfection is imperfection.
