We have the misfortune of having many such books on hand, each making an exclusive claim as to its infallibility. Our situation is this: most of the people in this world believe that the Creator of the universe has written a book. Your beliefs define your vision of the world they dictate your behavior they determine your emotional responses to other human beings. They are worse than the others, because they get in the way of blaming religious belief for intolerance, oppression and violence.Ī belief is a lever that, once pulled, moves almost everything else in a persons life. Actually, some religious believers (here called moderates) are not intolerant.Advances in methods of violence make it impossible to continue to tolerate intolerance, therefore we can no longer tolerate religious belief. Religious belief inherently makes believers intolerant, therefore oppressive and violent.
