Quote by: Isherwood  Religion is faith based, yes. Yet at the same time one thing they have faith in is that their particular god is the one true god. Otherwise they couldn't be considered true believers. Religion also preaches absolutes. Absolute truth, absolute faith, absolute judgment. So interpretation might be acknowledged, but they'd still believe their interpretation is the only correct one. Their belief that they practice the one true religion and worship the one true god has to be absolute or else they'll start to realize that their faith is just fervent hope, desperate wanting something to be true but not assured it is. |
I agree. It results in polar opposites and often an inability to coexist.
