“Religious fundamentalism advocates homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, polygamy and many other primitive evils. Can you imagine, somebody telling you, your love for your dearly beloved is a sin! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, women are inferior to men, and are meant only serve the men! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, a man can have multiple wives, and yet be deemed civilized! Here that somebody is a fundamentalist – a theoretical pest from the stone-age, who somehow managed to survive even amidst all the rise of reasoning and intellect. Such a creature with no modern mental faculty whatsoever, knows nothing beyond the words of a book, written hundreds or thousands of years ago, when ignorance was the default mode of thinking in the society. It does not only believe every single word of a book to be literally true, but puts all its efforts to convince others to believe the same. This way, it would be an understatement to say, such is a worthless creature. In reality, such a creature can cause a catastrophic contagion in a society, especially if that society is already going through socio-political turmoil.” TruthHumanityHuman NatureWords Of WisdomCivilizationPrejudiceCivilizedWise SayingsFundamentalismMisogynyPatriarchyHomophobiaFundamentalistSocial PsychologyXenophobiaPhilosophy Of ReligionPolygamyReligious ExtremismNeuropsychologySocial ProgressReligious FundamentalismPrimitive Human BehaviorScience Of MindReligious DiversityCivilized BehaviorPsychology Of ReligionFundamentalistsPrejudicedReligious Harm Author:Abhijit Naskar

“Then, one sunny September morning, the illusion of a personal God that I tried so hard to believe in, exploded over the skies of Manhattan. Even as the ashes and ruin of this horrific act of blind faith settled over New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, I watched people across the country scrambling to that same irrational altar for their answers. In the fierce storm of emotion that rolled across this country, one realization rose to the surface of my mind with blinding clarity: certainly this mechanism of unassailable blind faith is one of the greatest risks mankind faces today.” AmericaNew YorkTerrorismHarmManhattanSeptember 11Blind FaithPennsylvaniaIrrationalityWashingtonReligious HarmWestboro Baptist ChurchLeaving ReligionFred PhelpsLeaving FaithLeaving Westboro Baptist ChurchSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks Author:Nathan Phelps
“A religious individual may most gloriously carry out his or her own rituals, as a part of his or her cultural identity, but the moment, that person starts to build a wall of separation between the self and the rest of humanity, coaxed by the textual commands of a scripture, the healthy religiousness turns into dangerous fundamentalism, which is a threat to both the self and the society.” LoveInspirationalPhilosophyWisdomFaithReligiousInspiringWords Of WisdomHarmonyBrainy QuotesOnenessHuman RaceWise SayingsSage QuotesReligious FaithReligious BeliefReligious HarmonyReligion SpiritualityReligious FundamentalismReligious ToleranceReligious PhilosophyNeurotheologyScience Of MindUniversal LoveOne Human RaceReligious DiversityReligious ViolenceReligious TolerationPsychology Of ReligionReligious RitualsReligious HarmLove And HarmonyTurth Author:Abhijit Naskar
