Fundamentalism is a potential danger for EVERY path!

Here's another passage I underlined during my Wyoming retreat last weekend:

"Nowadays, we thought that if we stopped believing in God we would be free from belief. But instead we believe in everything! Conspiracy theories, medical treatments, fundamentalism from anywhere except Christianity, power in stars, crystals, apparitions, and dogmatism seem to be everywhere."

Richard Rohr

Yes, I've become acutely aware that fundamentalism - the attitude of "my view (with the 'my' or 'I' usually dropped for convenience) is the correct, unfiltered view - is absolutely everywhere. Yet in our own culture, Christian (and perhaps Islamic) fundamentalism has become the "whipping-boy" or scapegoat, enabling all of the other more fashionable forms of fundamentalism to go unrecognized!
