radicalism

The expression of people's faith could be divided into
five groups depending on their attitude
towards the already existing religious structures.
The Traditionalists consider the structure uncreated,
God-given and therefore unchangeable.
The Rationalists seek to learn better the pragmatic
structures. The Radicals look for new structures without
loosing the essence of the message. The Fanatics aim
to destroy the structures with non-thinking emotionalism.
The Sufis don’t recognize any structures and despise
them.
I consider myself radical in my faith.
Radicalism keeps my faith alive.
Information changes all the time, but the truth does not.
Radical faith keeps us on the alert of the always changing
trends and the ideological climate around us.
Dead faith keeps us repeating the same phrases unto boredom.
Today it is radical to speak about the absolute truth.
It’s radical to use words like sin, holiness and hell.
It is radical to win souls.
It is even more radical to love unselfishly and lay down
our life for others.
Unconditional love doesn’t always look so productive,
but it is always radical.
It doesn’t agree just to warm up oneself with the old
“once upon a time” victories.
It boldly faces the impossible situations of today and
continues to believe that faith will always find a way.
