Friday, December 4, 2009 at 10:53AM My studies continue, and I find that the pillars of the Hindu faith (if faith is the right word) also hold no fears whatever for me. There is an encapsulation of wisdom in this most ancient religious tradition that is echoed in much of Judeao-Christian teachings, sometimes more intensely, sometimes less.
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at 8:25AM I'm probably a little slow to the races on this subject. It has taken a lot of study and heart searching over the last couple of years to arrive at my current state, which is somewhere between "recovering fundamentalist" and "reverential agnostic." I've spent a lot of time studying Dawkins too, a fine and elegant writer, with an appealing streak of humility, at times. Some of the other New Atheists, however, seem to be little more than fundamentalists themselves, absolutely intolerant of views that differ from their own on subjects about which there can be no certainty.
