This quote from Karen Armstrong, a noted commentator on world religions, follows on the tail of the recent article, Joanna Macy Talks about The Kingdom of Shambhala. In that article, we learned that we must act as bhodhisattvas and take up the challenge of becoming a Shambhala warrior.
Now, Karen Armstrong is telling us the the truth about the nature of religion. I’m sure she is talking about the same Barbarians the Joanna Macy talked about. They use religion, especially fundamentalism, to keep people under their thumbs. They have made a scapegoat of faith and religion.
