I would like to continue this thread.
I think the whole absolute truth claims is what causes a lot of problems.
Dogma is the huge problem for me. Dogma is when "faith" goes from bad to worse.
But "faith" generally is thought not to be questioned anyway by a lot of the world. So what's the main difference? That's what I'm wondering about this.
Is it perhaps that dogma is worse because its not just unquestioned "faith" but its faith that is forced upon others?
What does it take to go from "faith" to dogma?
