Can you imagine, somebody telling you, your love for your dearly beloved is a sin! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, women are inferior to men, and are meant only serve the men! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, a man can have multiple wives, and yet be deemed civilized! Here that somebody is a fundamentalist – a theoretical pest from the stone-age, who somehow managed to survive even amidst all the rise of reasoning and intellect. Such a creature with no modern mental faculty whatsoever, knows nothing beyond the words of a book, written hundreds or thousands of years ago, when ignorance was the default mode of thinking in the society. It does not only believe every single word of a book to be literally true, but puts all its efforts to convince others to believe the same. This way, it would be an understatement to say, such is a worthless creature. In reality, such a creature can cause a catastrophic contagion in a society, especially if that society is already going through socio-political turmoil.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["civilization","civilized","civilized-behavior","fundamentalism","fundamentalist","fundamentalists","homophobia","human-nature","humanity","misogyny","neuropsychology","patriarchy","philosophy-of-religion","polygamy","prejudice","prejudiced","primitive-human-behavior","psychology-of-religion","religious-diversity","religious-extremism","religious-fundamentalism","religious-harm","science-of-mind","social-progress","social-psychology","truth","wise-sayings","words-of-wisdom","xenophobia"],"id":459767,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":9,"pages":1}}
