It's a rather frustrating presentational style for me, just touching down and not going far with any one speaker. It could be a good place to introduce folks to the various approaches out there, but it does have rather a contrived feel to it on the side of the narrator's monologues.<BR/><BR/>On a purely personal note, I felt sad when I saw the bit including Huston Smith. He was someone who was pivotal in opening my mind to seeing other options in God-thought, and it pained me to see him summarily dismiss "scientists" and others who do not believe out of hand. Even for a person of such comparative openness, I guess there is still a boundary that exists. He can't (or won't) acknowledge even the possibility that perhaps there is no There there. Of course, he has immersed himself in all the major religions over the years--it has truly been his life, his work, his meaning. While I can understand it, it still grieves me.Stargazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00677236569524940980noreply@blogger.com
