Example text

They think of the river as a breeding ground for evil and so distrust the freedom it allows. Fundamentalist religious leaders want us to believe that their ways are the only ways and that we are free—but free only to swim in the turbid lake water where long ago the spirit of life was cut off. We can no longer afford to be so indulgent toward their demands and their distorted visions. Time is short. Perhaps it has almost run out. We have only two possibilities available to us: drain the lake and fill it with earth, or dig a channel and reconnect it with the great river so that the fresh and living water can once again flow, flushing the lake’s darkness out to the sea where it can dissolve and ultimately be renewed.

Blunt speaking, certainly, but time is short, and I see no reason not to call it as I see it. The fact we all have to face is that the fundamentalist religions leave no room for human frailty, for compassion, for forgiveness, or for creative freedom of thought. They are trying to return us to that time of darkness we thought was left far behind, where blind belief was considered more important than farsighted discovery, where the dogmatic was more valued than the tolerant and the false was more important than the true.

8 Men like these, their eyes glittering with self-righteousness, acting out what they perceive as the will of God, are dangerous. Whatever religion they might belong to, in their hearts they belong only to their own violent prejudices. Their spirituality is a monstrous fraud, but their madness is infectious, and there are always some lost souls hunting for that certainty given by a rigid and unbending authority. There will always be some who enjoy marching to the beat of the same loud drum. These Jewish rabbis have their pathologically violent brothers in both Christianity and Islam.
