Gušfręšingurinn Marcus J.Borg
Er aš lesa bók dr.Borg: Meeting Jesus again for the first time. Er ansi hrifin af gušfręši hans žar sem hann er aš reyna skilja hismiš frį kjarnanum. Hér ķ Amerķku sér mašur hvernig trśarbrögšin geta žróast śti żmislegt mišur fallegt og žvķ er gott aš lesa menn einsog Borg, enda hęttan alltaf sś aš viš sköpum Guš ķ okkar mynd. Hann er af sęnsk-norskum ęttum og śr lśtersku kirkjunni.
Borg er meš blog hér og žetta er žašan:
Blind Acceptance is Idolatry
Without questioning, faith is idolatrous. Just as patriotism without questioning risks becoming idolatrous nationalism, so faith without questioning risks becoming idolatrous religion.
To explain: when faith is defined as unquestioning acceptance of "tenets or traditions," whether drawn from the Bible or doctrine or both, then the object of faith is no longer God, but the tenets and traditions themselves. Something other than God has been given an absolute status - which is what makes it idolatrous.
