The Ultimate Blasphemy: Terrorist Cults


While preserving the outward form of religion, they are a standing denial of its power. Keep clear of them.

Paul of Tarsus (2 Timothy 3:5, Revised English Bible)

Ecclesiastical claims to possess infallibility in any formulated version of Scripture and creed or in the articulations of any council, synod, or hierarchical figure are to me manifestations of idolatry. Such claims do not serve the truth. They serve only the power and control needs of the ecclesiastical institution. ... If the church provides security, it cannot provide truth.

John Shelby Spong

The truth is, we lack the touchstone by which to distinguish authenticity. The real hiddenness and the real corruption of tradition stem from the ignorance of this fact.

Jacob Needleman

It's becoming increasingly difficult to tell the 'Phonies' from the 'Realies'.

Lucy (from a Peanuts cartoon by Charles Schulz)

I'm afraid of the dark, and suspicious of the light.

Woody Allen

The Ultimate Blasphemy: Terrorist Cults

In Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and in the internal politics of almost all Arab countries, violent tensions have been created by the upsurge of a form of Islam that finds the tolerant co-existence of religious beliefs incomprehensible, indeed threatening to the process of salvation.

Bryan Appleyard

Prison could be more spacious and more beautiful than this oppressive and darkened society.

Alia Shuaib

For the September 11 "Islamic" terrorist attack on NATO and the West and its aftermath, the war on terrorism (i.e., global or international terrorism, and counterterrorism, including emergency preparedness and response, special forces and special operations, and the global coalition against terrorism), see September 11 and Aftermath and Response: The War on Terror. (Not all terrorists are fundamentalists, and not all fundamentalists are terrorists, but if (as I believe) all fundamentalism is blasphemy, then terror in the name of God is the ultimate blasphemy.)
