Sufism and treating believers like adults

Fundamentalists treat their believers like children. As this
excellent blog
points out. And it’s about time a few more of the believers grew up and demanded
more from their religious and secular leaders.

I think, and it came to me as I read her blog, that it’s about time the mystic /
spiritual / experiential worldview and the scientific / scholarly worldview got
together and found out about how they complemented one another (which they
do extremely well)… before the people who would make themselves “parents” force
us all into behaving like fundamentalist children.
