“FUNDAMENTALISM IS
A TERRORISM OF THE MIND”

MOST OF THE WORLD FEARS
AMERICAN FUNDAMENTALISM
AS MUCH AS
ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM

Stories written while vacationing in Italy
become the background, as the author cuts through the fog
of childhood literalism and adult confusion
about leftovers from that “child-faith.”

What about gay marriage, school prayer,
the war on “terror,” abortion and the false claims
of politicians and clergy about what is “Biblical”?
And why does it even matter?

For this author, the journey to spirituality lies beyond literalism/fundamentalism, traditional doctrines,
and, paradoxically, atheism.
