Sectarian outlook promotes proselytising and absolutist scriptural injunctions promote sectarianism. But the absolute word of God is inviolable, is it not? How may it be amended to suit modern requirements without invalidating its claim to divine perfection? Does God make mistakes after all? If so, then such exclusive revealed scripture suffers from imperfection and is liable to be interpreted as human creation in response to the exigencies of the times when it was born. Whither divinity of the revealed word then, whither the divinity that so revealed it?
Humanity, wake up! Enough of self-debasement to imagined Godhead. Awake to your real divinity now. Scrap all archaic texts that reduce you to enslaved status and announce your coming on to the stage of life at last in right regal state with none to fear save your shadow, none to follow save your horizon ahead that beckons you unto fresh discoveries of the being.
