The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.
Jerusalem is the focal point of three of the greatest religions of the world, and the source of the world’s greatest conflict.
Thomas Paine made no secret of his disdain of organized religion. Of all the striking changes Paine would see if he were alive in the world today, the state of religion would be striking only in how little has changed.
Must religion and religious thought be allowed to evolve in order to rise out of dogma and eternal strife and conflict? Is such a thing even possible?
