Saturday, January 2, 2010. Here I go again. Of mine invited me to join in an on-line review and discussion of Charles Taylor's. This book became a little more difficult to source than I first thought. Amazon.ca had only 4 copies left before Christmas, and I was too late to beat the Christmas backlog of orders and the overloaded mail system. And, given the desire to support independent book stores, I inquired at Pages. Across town to the south end Chapters. Is the notion of a secular society a myth? How d...

Blah: Letter to a Christian Nation
http://neuroticburritos.blogspot.com/2007/01/letter-to-christian-nation.html
Monday, January 22, 2007. Letter to a Christian Nation. I was directed to a colleague's posting. At his online journal. We've had some very entertaining lunch-hour conversations in the past, and I couldn't help but be rude and take up his offer (which was not directed to me) to read Letter to a Christian Nation. In exchange for a book of my choosing of roughly the same length. I will post a review on my blog while my colleague does the same. Benjamin van den Berg. Second, you may wish to check out an iss...

Wonder Woman (or not?): Trains and sewing machines
http://kristy-anneglubish.blogspot.com/2006/01/trains-and-sewing-machines.html
Wonder Woman (or not? Thursday, January 05, 2006. Trains and sewing machines. I realize that I am young, and that I have many years, and I realize I don’t have to have everything figured out and done by time I’m 28 but why not start now? In 2006 I hope you don’t let the sadness and chaos of our world tell you that change is impossible, that you can’t make a difference in this universe. Even little things like being a true friend to an unloved person is an example of changing some bodies universe.

Friday, January 26, 2007. I am neither a theologian nor a philosopher. With that in mind, here are my thoughts on Letter to a Christian Nation. After purchasing the book this week at Pages. I decided to read the book from start to finish in one evening, and then post a short review. I will address some of Sam Harris' points directly in future posts. At times I found Harris to be guilty of podsnappery. As having just two opposing views: his and those of Christians. Both suffering and without happiness)?

Monday, February 26, 2007. I made an interesting discovery today while posting comments at the Globe and Mail. The article. Discussed the upcoming documentary on the purported discovery of Jesus' tomb in Jerusalem. Was semi-moderated, meaning that an automatic filter is used to restrict postings. One of my posts. Was continually rejected, until another member of the conversation pointed out in a post. Did the Globe and Mail hire the same censor. As the airline industry? Benjamin van den Berg.

Sunday, February 7, 2010. A Secular Age - The Bulwarks of Belief (7-9). By the fifteenth century, Europe had emerged from the Age of Calamity. As referenced by one of my history books), or an age of anxiety as described by Charles Taylor (p.88). In this new era comes two major societal transformations: the Renaissance. On page 75, Taylor turns his attention to the impact of one particular Protestant theology, Calvanism. Could they be the Emergents of their day? But I digress . One cannot dismiss it either.
