But this is meant in the sense that which they vainly focus their energy on ridiculing a certain tiny denomination of Biblical fundamentalism, a denomination seated just one chair away from unbelief; they, the skeptics, cannot believe because they are the most literal of fundamentalists: of those that which must interpret Scripture only by means of a sort of obsolete and dead script of intellectual incompetence. By all means, this is supposed to happen - Scripture states of itself that all thought and interpretation is folly without the Holy Spirit - but on the other hand, it seems, ironically, that if one thinks that the Bible is, in its true essence, an outdated text, he doesn't know much about the world around him nor those who live in it. Either that, or he doesn't know much about what it says in relation to the world around him nor to those who live in it. It's as though he, too, is dead to the world and it to him. He has no spirit: he can only possibly understand Scripture as deceased rather than the modern world's very living narrative.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","atheism","bible","christianity","dead","denominations","etymology","fundamentalism","god","hermeneutics","holy-spirit","ignorance","interpretation","knowledge","living","scripture","skepticism","theism","theology","wisdom","world"],"id":4983,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"It is more practical to make people transform their mindset about religion and religiousness and walk in the path of creed-less religious harmony, than to convert the entire religious population on earth into atheists.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["atheism","atheism-defined","atheism","atheists","brainy","free-thinking","fundamentalism","harmony","inspirational","love-and-kindness","orthodoxy","peace","philosophy","rational-thinking","religion","religious-extremism","religious-harmony","religious","religious-tolerance","religious-violence","thinkers","truth","words-of-wisdom"],"id":8048,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"The Church has carried out some of the most inhuman and above all un-Christian acts of human history, yet, it is still gloriously hailed by the majority of human population as to be synonymous with Jesus Christ.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["brainy","christ","christianity","christianity","christianity-religion-atheism","church","church-leadership","compassion","fundamentalism","inspirational","inspiring","philosophy","religion","religious-extremism","religious-tolerance","religious-violence","truth","violence","wisdom","wise-sayings","words-of-wisdom"],"id":10540,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"It has always been science versus fundamentalism, not science versus religion.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["creationism","fundamentalism","inspirational","inspirational","inspiring","philosophy-of-religion","philosophy-of-science","religious-extremism","religious-violence","science","science-and-religion","science","science-vs-religion","truth","words-of-wisdom"],"id":11562,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"The Bible is not religion, nor are the Vedas.
