The Biggest Threat To Religion?

[thesometimesaint]

Yes, group think does dominate both within religious and anti-religious circles, and questioning authority (secular or religious authority) is often considered bad form.  Socrates was sentenced to death for it.  Even at universities, students are often afraid to express a nonconforming or outlandish opinion.  People feel the urge to be politically correct, and seem afraid to explore other alternatives during their crucial learning years (how can a student learn in such a stultifying environment?).

 

How can we be in the world but not of the world?  Can we be tolerant of different preferences in a pluralistic society, while at the same time not accepting moral relativism for ourselves?

 

We still have every right to disagree, but no right to be disagreeable.
