THE COMMON BELIEF
(comments by Mark Andrews)
In all faiths:
THE MILITANT SAYS:
I am on a Divine mission.
All must receive my faith or
die at my hand. The Evil One
seeks to destroy me. I must
destroy his followers first.
My enemies die in damnation.
My martyrdom earns
my salvation.
THE RADICAL SAYS:
I am on a Divine mission.
All must receive my faith
or die in damnation.
The Evil One seeks to
destroy me. I must silence
his followers first.
My fanaticism assures my salvation.
THE FUNDAMENTALIST SAYS:
I am on a Divine mission.
All must receive my faith or
die in damnation.
The Evil One seeks to
destroy me. I must
convert his followers.
THE ORTHODOX SAYS:
We are on a Divine mission.
All must receive our faith or
die in damnation. The Evil
One seeks to destroy us.
We must convert his followers.
THE COMMUNICANT SAYS:
We are on a Divine mission.
All must receive our faith or
die in damnation. The Evil
One seeks to destroy us.
We must love his followers
and bring them into our fold.
THE ECUMENICAL SAYS:
We are on a Divine mission.
We must combine our faiths
into one faith in order to bring
all others into The LIght.
We must resist the evil within
ourselves. We must love all others.
THE SPIRITIST SAYS:
We are Divine.
All are Divine.
We are all one in our
Divinity.
THE MYSTIC SAYS:
You Are.
We Are.
I AM.
