Examples
“For all that the tradition of argument within monotheism is a long and noble one, for all that the emphasis on wisdom, justice and mercy is there, I think this lynchpin of monotheism -- this idea of a supreme moral authority, a God who makes the law, who owns the law, whose law is defined in terms of sin, dictated to us through scripture, and derived from faith -- this is the keystone of that rival tradition, I think.”
“Religious zealots associated with monotheism is the scourge that should be eliminated. arc, Lugano CH”
Obama: Iranian accusations of U.S. interference 'false and absurd'
“Your monotheism is solely ethnocentrism and your insistance on closing your mind to the infinate realm of possibilities that truely exist.”
Friendly religious questions for Christians and other monotheists
“Not just not-monotheism, because that assumes that monotheism is the default, the standard, and I believe that polytheism is the logical choice of standard if one should exist at all.”
“But, I argued, their solution needs modification, because their identification of religion with monotheism is naïve.”
“I think, he says, I need new terms here entirely because, yes, not all monotheism is universalist and predicated on the faith/doubt, win/lose scenario of Pascalus's Christianity (as your example of Judaism illustrates), not all polytheism is of that Graeco-Roman nature (as your example of Hinduism points out), and the atheism I'm talking about really includes antitheist and agnostic outlooks in its focus on doubt.”
“What I'm really seeking to discredit is a specific component of homodoxy exhibited most notably in monotheism but just as present in polytheist and atheist homodoxies.”
“And the violence done to Hinduism and Buddhism, for instance, by including them either under your "a toast to Ares!" model of polytheism or the South Park ( "the winners are ... the Mormons!") model of monotheism, is incalculable.”
“It's no surprise that we find this idea in monotheism then.”
“That authoritarian tendency within monotheism does its best to restrict a quite natural impulse to question the rules, justifying this on the basis that any such challenge is a lack of faith, a challenge to scripture, a sin in and of itself, because it challenges the supremacy of God's moral authority -- i.e. their constraint morality.”
