You say you want an evolution
Lengthy post on Hullabaloo about “Evolutionary Theology.” It links to a larger article which claims to have discovered that:
“the agenda of all fundamentalist movements in the world is virtually identical, regardless of religion or culture.
The five characteristics are:
1) Men rule the roost and make the rules. Women are support staff and for reasons easy to imagine, homosexuality is intolerable.
2) all rules must apply to all people, no pluralism.
3) the rules must be precisely communicated to the next generation
4) “they spurn the modern, and want to return to a nostalgic vision of a golden age that never really existed. (Several of the scholars observed a strong and deep resemblance between fundamentalism and fascism. Both have almost identical agendas. Men are on top, women are subservient, there is one rigid set of rules, with police and military might to enforce them, and education is tightly controlled by the state. One scholar suggested that it’s helpful to understand fundamentalism as religious fascism, and fascism as political fundamentalism. The phrase ‘overcoming the modern’ is a fascist slogan dating back to at least 1941.)”
5) Fundamentalists deny history in a “radical and idiosyncratic way.”
