Tell that to Calvin, Martin Luther and a whole bunch of other protestant

pioneers. ;-)

But seriously, every religion has its progressive/liberal wing and it's

conservative/fundamentalist wing, who usually call each other much worse terms

than "fools". Personally, I think it's a healthy sign (not the name calling,

but the fact that they coexist) that will prevent stagnation. Not everyone

will interpret all sastra the same way. Yet, this is supposed to be a

philosophy the whole world can take to. If you restrict its adherent too only

conservatives, or only liberals, you will never see that happen.
