Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
#9
RE: Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
I guess you would have to be more descriptive of what allegorical religion is. I don't think that anyone thinks that his religious views are allegorical or that he believes in allegory.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
