Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
#13
RE: Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
There is nothing wrong with the concept of allegorical religion. We all have stories that define our place in the universe, our values, and our purpose.

The issue is "what do the stories say"? Accepting 2000 year-old stories to be true or meaningful may also mean discarding the stories of a modern liberal culture.

Are modern ideas always better? No - but for FSM's sake, come up with your own stories that combine the best of all that you read, experience and believe.
