Fundamentalism
- Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition - by Denis Postle
I've had the idea
for a while [writes Denis Postle] that fundamentalism might
provide a promising line of inquiry into understanding
domination and the love of power. Events in Russia, Iraq, Israel
and Palestine in the last week have been a reminder that
fundamentalist religion is now on all of our agendas.
I've looked at what fundamentalism
is, how it comes into being, and why it is likely to be harmful.
And... as befits an inquiry, I found some surprises - examples
of fundamentalism in unsuspected places.
Denis recently sent Nurturing
Potential details of his updated website and has kindly
consented to our posting some of the material within Nurturing
Potential. We thought this recent article of Denis's
fitted well within our Beliefs section - and you can view the
original and much, much more on http://g.o.r.i.l.l.a.postle.net/blog/.
Denis will undoubtedly welcome direct responses to his
published material via the blog section of his website.
