RE: "But what about the moderates?"
November 3, 2014 at 6:21 pm
Being an ex-fundametalist my take on moderation and religion is probably a bit skewed. For the most part though, it looks to me like moderation and religion don't play well together. Beliving in a god is an immoderate leap of faith to begin with, and it only gets worse from there. The good news is that most people don't actually take their religion all the seriously, cherry picking it to support some particular prejudice or to nurce some particular hatred that they already hold. But it rarely leads to new prejudices or hatreds. Others might cherry pick it to support some political or economic position (liberal or conservative, both sides do it). Again, such don't take their religion all that seriously.
