Part of the weight under which humanity is groaning is that of fundamentalism. Part of fundamentalism is the ‘make-wrong’ syndrome. In this mentality the individual or group has a compulsion to ‘make-wrong’ those who believe differently.
Part of the make-wrong compulsion is to satisfy the need for identity. I know who I am because I know who I hate. E.g I’m a Christian (of XXX variety) and only we are saved. Or I’m a Moslem and all others are invalid. etc.
Another way of describing this sickness is to describe it as the ‘disease of exclusivity’ – we exclusively have the truth.
The fact is we are united in Mystery – in not knowing. The fact is we only know a little and not very certainly – and certainly not enough to make-wrong whole belief-systems.
