“while different belief systems can make internal sense, and while different belief systems can lead to different ways of accessing, communicating with, worshiping, entreating, harnessing, and/or commanding the same and very different powers and entities, one of the extremely problematical, indeed dangerous, indeed terrifying, attributes of any monotheism is that just as the dominant culture (and capitalism, and industrial civilization) systematically destroys physical diversity, monotheism — including christianity, including science — systematically attempts to deny or destroy all other ways of accessing any powers other than its own (on this side or on other sides). that’s what monotheismis. and that is both foolish and far more dangerous than many of us allow ourselves to understand.”
