The Nature of Organised Religion

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

The retired bishop of the American Episcopal Church, Bishop John Shelby Spong, said, “All religion seems to need to prove that it is the only truth.  And that is where it turns demonic.  Because that is when you get religious wars and persecutions and burning heretics at the stake.” 

It was said anonymously, “The worst thing you can do to a dogma is give it an empire.”  And that has been much of our experience with every faith.
