Atheism as a teacher
#17
RE: Atheism as a teacher
I agree that fundamentalism is the problem but it does matter what the fundamentals in the text are. Thank fuck we haven't got as many people following strictly the fundamentals of the horror in the Old Testament anymore, but if we did things would be back to the barbaric times of thousands of years ago for such people.

As Sam Harris says, what the fundamentals are matter because Jainist extremism for example would be completely non-violent and harmless by definition. And even more so than moderate Jainism.
