The Lions Of Faith

The Lions of Faith do not fear any truth--no matter whose ox it may gore (including their own sacred cows). Instead, they fear the unexamined life and the degradation of faith in the form of credulity.



The Lions of Faith resist those who suggest--in the name of religion or nationalism or any other authority--that freedom must be surrendered in exchange for security. They respond to those Whisperers: "Get thee behind me, Satan!" (Matthew 16:23, KJV).



With the great Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali (d. 1111 CE), the Lions of Faith recognize taqlid (blind obedience) as "the religion of asses" and refuse it a seat at the table of the Feast of Faith.
