Fundamentalism, the infantile literalist interpretation of scriptures, is promoting narrow-mindedness, hatred, intolerance and is at the root of the "War on Terror" which pits fundamentalist Muslims against fundamentalist Christians. It prevents people from realizing the truth that all faiths expound the same teachings: to love thy neighbour as thy self.
Will it continue to hold sway over millions, undermining the teachings of the prophets fundamentalists claim to follow? Or will faith that is consistent with the God-given intelligence to see the world as it is, rather than how we wish it were, prevail?
