A fanatic is defined as someone "filled with excessive and single-minded zeal", when it comes to matters of religion, politics and even sports. Therefore fanatics will never admit as real the truths that have been proclaimed by Christian Rationalism which is a spiritual philosophy and science, not a religion.
Fanaticism obscures intelligence and clouds reasoning. For a fanatic, there are sacred books dictated by "God" which he cannot and should not doubt under penalty of committing a great sin and endangering his salvation.
But not everything is lost to the religious fanatic. The overzealous believer has the right to reincarnate as many times as necessary to acquire during earthly life the knowledge and experience needed to consciously accept the Truth previously rejected.
No one can ascend to a higher level of spiritual evolution, as long as during his successive reincarnations on Earth, he stubbornly persists with misleading ideas about life and erroneously follows them.
It is unfortunate that human beings ignorantly turn the long road of evolution into a narrow, rough, winding road full of difficult obstacles to overcome.
Everyone will have to realize, sooner or later, that humanity is heading in the same direction and to reach the same end, which is perfection, attainable only by well-directed self-effort, disciplined individual work and the conquest of knowledge at the expense of intense and permanent activity.
Every individual should look inside himself and learn to rely on himself, aware that the resources he possesses to carry out every physical existence on Earth are immense and invaluable.
By following this trend of thought the individual will be synchronized with the tide of evolution, which will lead him to spiritual growth without major sacrifices or stumbling blocks.
