Your Syllogism of Religious Syncretism

Major Premise: The enlightened and charitable are those who support the new global agenda of toleration for all, knowing as they do that dogma divides and love unites.

Minor Premise: Orthodox Christians are people who oppose the new global agenda by making a number of dogmatic, divisive claims about their beliefs and morality.

Conclusion: Therefore orthodox Christians, ignorant of the truth that dogma divides and love unites, are unenlightened and uncharitable, the bigoted enemies of human evolution and spiritual advancement

To: spycatcher
Would that be the author of "Streams of Confusion"?

"In sum, I take readers back to the headwaters that, little by little, since about A.D. 1660 have gained such momentum and prominence that we now find ourselves awash in ideas that most take for granted as true."

Sounds like another fundamentalist crackpot who wants to drag the world back to the 17th century.

All religous fundamentalism is rooted in a fear of the modern world, a paranoid fear of annihilation at the hands of the modern, secular world.

Fundamentalist sects exist in all major world religions, and they are all equally dangerous. The Christian Identity Groups (who aided Timothy McVeigh) sally out of their survival communities and commit what they regard as acts of war against the godless government and society of the United States: abortion clinics and personnel are often targets of groups with names like "The Army of God." And its all the same old crap from mentally-challenged losers who spring from family trees that resemble a telephone pole.
