The Monotheist Religious Fanatic

 

differs from other kinds of fanatics, religious or of any other type, in a very curious way. Regardless of which Cult they adhere to, they insist that a group of writings, often very ancient, but not necessarily so, is indeed the exact precise words of God. And that is down to even each and every monosyllable!

What is more, such precision of Godspeak is indeed insisted upon, even when the writings are in translation; and surely it is well enough understood, that there never can be an exactly precise translation between any pair of languages, in either direction.

Even within the one language, the meaning of the very same individual words, varies with time. To wit, the "wicked" of William Shakespeare's Elizabethan English is quite different in meaning, especially in the word's intensity, from the "wicked" of Standard Modern English, circa 2002AD!

Also, before a "junket" was an expenses paid trip for notables, it was just a renneted milk dessert. However, originally a "jonket", derived from the Archaic French, was a small basket!

The flaws of this Monotheist fanaticial foolishness are well explained, in that what matters is the "word" of God, not the "words" of God.

Yet, such explanations are ignored by these fanatics. They have needs of a core unclenchibility¹; of a complete monolithic steadfastness, unchangeable, which is utterly & awesomely beyond any conceivable question of doubt. Most people indeed do! Sadly, the Monotheist Religious Fanatics have chosen most foolishly in this regard; and most sadly of all, everyone else of a saner mind is forced to suffer along with these idiots!!

The background was created with Iris.
The rest with Microsoft Front Page Express.

Then, on 8th March 2008 AD I decided the writing
was not readily readable against that so strong blue!
So I added a table for those scarlet words.

¹ [In case you were wondering, "unclenchible" means
"cannot be hardened". It is a metalsmiths' term!]
