Fanaticism - an illusion of believing that the Creator needs to be defended

03/24/2018

There are fanatics in every religion who not only claim to see the Creator’s reputation attacked everywhere they look, but who imagine that it is their mission to defend him. As if God were so weak that he needed to be defended! Well, that’s what they believe. And so they condemn, persecute, and massacre people who are often superior to themselves. If they were honest, they would ask God’s opinion, and they would hear God, who is love, reply, ‘Do not concern yourself with this, it is not your affair. If they really wish to attack me, they will destroy themselves, and that will be sufficient punishment. Leave them alone. Or you too will offend me and you will be destroying yourself.’ When we truly wish to defend the Creator, we must manifest patience and love, just as he does.
