Revealed Truth

Ξ November 24th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Life |

Various religions around the world have claimed that their religion is "revealed truth", truth revealed to them by God. To think of a religion as "revealed truth" is to give to it the power to compel conformity and thereby to enable "nonconformists"  to be effectively silenced,  ostracized or worse. That is why excommunication  and other forms of shunning have been such terrifying punishments throughout history. This is the main way that mainline as well as fringe religions today enforce conformity.
