Enlightened rants...

And I thought H. P. Lovecraft's style of being paid by the word made him excessively repetitive and verbose!!
Yikes!
The guys who wrote MK's book were grand masters next to Lovecraft!

A wall of text that says next to nothing! Astonishing!
Truly a feat worthy of the useless priestly caste.
- How to perpetuate the status of this caste, keeping them doing next to nothing?...

There is a very effective tactic used to make a bird out of a fish:
"Turn the single word into so many; to give yourself space choosing whatever from it".

In other words; if you don't like a certain message because it doesn't say what you want; extend its size to enormous levels to say what you want; make it say what you want.

That's what the Hadith is in Islam; it's the way out for many people, wanting the Quran to say what they want; turning the bird into a fish.

Take this example: stoning women to death doesn't exist the whole Quran. But, you'll find it in the Hadith:

http://www.hadithcollection.com/

The link contains Sunni-accepted Hadith only. Look how massive that site is.
Compared to the Quran (which is 600 pages only); you can literally see that 100 years after the appearance of the Quran; people turned the 600 pages into thousands; to give themselves the space they need to turn around the main book.

Gymnastics require a good amount of space.

MK believes in Shiite Hadiths; a different sect that composes 10% of the total population of Muslims. But don't think that's different; just another face for the same coin: 90% of Muslims believe in the same method of "go around the Quranic verses, and advocate thousands of pages called "the Hadith" ".

To be a respected Muslim in both Sunni or Shiite societies, you must advocate the Hadith; too.

The Hadith books are so big, you can fetch things allowing pedophilia, mass killing..etc. Just remove the Hadith altogether ; and you'll see a very different Islam.

Personally; I don't believe in Hadiths.
