"Organized religion preaches Order and Love but spawns Chaos and Fury. Why?"

- Kerry Thornley

About this Quote

This quote by Kerry Thornley speaks with the paradox of organized religious beliefs. On the one hand, organized religious beliefs preaches order and love, which are two values that are essential for a serene and harmonious society. On the other hand, organized religion typically results in mayhem and fury, which can be seen in the form of religious wars, sectarian violence, and other forms of conflict. This paradox can be described by the fact that arranged faith typically includes a set of beliefs and practices that are rigid and inflexible, which can result in intolerance and a lack of understanding of other beliefs and practices. Furthermore, organized religion can be used as a tool for power and control, which can result in a lack of freedom and a sense of oppression. Ultimately, this quote speaks with the intricacy of arranged faith and the capacity for it to both bring order and love, in addition to mayhem and fury.
