Transgressive Transcendentalism

The idea that "conventional religion" is fading into the past and that a "spiritual revolution" is unfolding strikes The Mazeppist as wishful thinking.

"Unconventional religion" requires thought, thinking is hard work, and these facts alone guarantee "conventional religiosity" a bright future.

Be that as it may, Imam Ghazali was surely on the mark when he referred to taqlid (blind following of religious professionals) as "the religion of donkeys."

The moral of this story? Don't be an ass.
