I will be more respectful to my fellow Mukto-mona members and will not call any one a moron.
I agree with you: the process of seeking the truth is painful. The process demands that you challenge the established truths, verify them, and to learn new thing you get ready to unlearn.
Let me tell you a true story. My father (may be in thirties) was reading Kalidas's Meghadootam. He found that Hindu kings used to slaughter cows to entertain their honorable guests. He was tremendously shocked and his first reaction was to throw away the book. But eventually he overcame it and I found him as a liberal believer saying his prayers regularly throughout his family life.

By oxymoron, I meant one of the Rahman's. Now it appears that he is
not alone here. Read Zen Buddhism, and you will find plenty of it
which would appear nonsense to you. When an empty head studies
something, he comes with conclusion, then he faces the contradictions,
and finally he ends up with synthesis containing both conclusions and
contradictions. That is the essence of Hegel's philosophy. However
as the Rahman's do, they end up into Islamic literature and treats it
as final. One of them use those ideas as honest, intelligent and etc.
Out of irritation, I wrote those ideas grow in empty heads. However,
it is not untrue altogether. Only a 'flake' would stick to such
things forever.
