“Fanaticism is more dangerous that fascism” – I’m totally agree with that sentence. I’m religious person, but still I can observe the difference between religious person and religious fanatic. What is the main difference? That the fanatic people are using faith – in the past for killing people and for a reason to war – nowadays for a power. At the world it is some people who are using it. Politicians, priests, leaders – they are using people to have benefits from them, power and money. We can observe that is really dangerous thing. Just have a look at the bomb attacks in Pakistan, situation in Gaza or at the sects in Europe. For a good example I can write about Polish priest, the founder of “Radio Mary” – catholic radio station. Nothing bad in catholic radio station – ill, religious people can listen it at home easily, but first of all – the auditions are often racist and priests are offending people, sometimes only because of their dissidence. But what is the worst in “Radio Mary”? The worst thing is that old, retired and often poor people are giving for the Radio loads of money, and doing everything what the priest ask for. Nowadays he is a millionaire, just have a look at the building of “Radio Mary” or church’s garden – pool, tennis court, little waterfalls, peacocks… or have a look at the priest’s car – new meibach. That’s why polish people call him “priest director” and the relation between elderly people and teenagers is getting worse and worse. The priest is trying to be a politician as well. At the presidential election he was saying during the Sunday service for who people should vote… That’s why the religious fanaticism can be very dangerous and make people to do bad things.
