All forms of fanaticism are reproachful
because they can obliterate reason and prevent the use of reasoning. Religious
fanaticism is still more harmful because it may lead people to commit the most
ruthful acts and the most hateful crimes.
No wars in the history of mankind have
been as cruel, ruthless, bloody, stunningly wicked and inhuman as religious
wars.
Never did the world see such cruelty
and vandalism as that perpetrated by the
crusaders whose deep-seated hatred led them to shatter defenceless old people,
women and children.
An illustrative example of the extremes
to which such fanaticism may lead man is the dreadful Night of St. Bartholomew
and the fires lit by the Inquisition. After horrifying torments and
mutilations, victims of the hatred induced by religious fanaticism in the minds
of the inquisitor priests were burned alive.
At best, religious fanaticism weakens,
alienates and renders impotent the human will - and no one considers himself a
fanatic, no matter how much he is overcome by fanaticism.
Man, who is essentially a creative
spirit, many times meets with failure when he is influenced by the false ideas
or miracles and divine assistance. Instead of helping himself, he relents in
his efforts to accomplish his purposes, waiting for such help. He does not know
how to make use of two powerful forces at his disposal which, if properly
utilised, would lead him to success.
These forces, which in most people lie
dormant and unknown, are will power and thought.
The mythological gods, in the
imaginative vision of their worshippers, also performed miracles. Hence their
authority and prestige among their faithful.
Therefore, there is no appreciable
difference between the miracle-working mythological gods and the no less
miracle-working gods of the various modern religions. The latter have merely
developed and improved the ways of worshipping which have become more refined
and stylish, as previously pointed out.
