Reason In Exile

“Religious moderates are themselves the bearers of a terrible dogma:they imagine that the path tp peace will be paved once each of us has learned to respect the unjustified beliefs of others.

The very ideal of religious tolerance-born of the notion that every human being should be free to believe whatever he wants about GOD-is one of the principal forces driving us toward the abyss.

Many religious moderates have taken the apparent high road of pluralism, asserting the equal validity of all faiths, but in doing so they neglect to notice the irredeemably sectarian truth claims of each.

As long as a Christian believes that only his baptized brethren will be saved on the Day of Judgment, he cannot possibly “respect” the beliefs of others, for he knows that the flames of hell have been stoked by these very ideas and await their adherents even now.”
