Liberating God

Many scholars and intellectuals thought that by the end of the Twentieth Century religious wars would be part of the human history. Very early on, the new century/Millennium proved everybody was wrong and religious motivated war showed its ugly face again. Fanatics from different religions around the world started claiming to be the guardians of God and fighting in His name in every way. Fanaticism exploded like a time bomb which had been hidden in the world, unnoticeable and invisible. This hard-line fundamentalism grew rapidly when the global culture invaded every part of our lives and especially when it put on the mask of free market and democracy. Economic demands gave the impression that the developed world sought domination and manipulation. The West has become the villain for the people in the East and especially the Middle East, has become the Muslim's terrorist. New stereotypical ideas swept our societies and we have gone far into categorising people and squeezing them into small boxes. Even God could not escape from this process. Every religion has tailored a box for God and anyone who does not accept it is considered an enemy. When can we liberate God from the chains of our narrow-mindedness, ignorance and cruelty?
