PM,
I would say - following someone blindly (no matter who he is, as he is only a human being just like all of us), is bad. OK, I agree with you that it is not as bad as when people impose/force their believes on others!
Nothing to do with the topic, but generally speaking, as a non religious person, I find the people that practice Buddhism (as an example) much more tolerant and respectful than those who practice religions that were founded in the middle east.
The vibes from Buddhism, are peaceful, genuine spirituality, one never senses any pressure to adhere or never feels that he is labeled as infidel. As the vibes we get from Islam, are not always like this.
I wonder how, would Islam attract new people, with so much control and negative vibes?! Often the image of compliance with this religion is no more than a mask to show others compliance while inside the person, there is a lot of frustration and unhappiness. The constant interior debate between what they are and what they need to show!
Just a thought resulting from the observation of the world...
