What a sad way of describing it!<br />I don't always agree with Pluralist, but I always admire his courage and his openness. Wish that there were more like him around!<br /><br />Pluralist, <br />that dream sounds awful. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, as so often before.Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449677811690616608.post-47985862809884587912009-08-28T20:06:52.751+02:002009-08-28T20:06:52.751+02:00We all have troubles and anxieties.

We need people who can speak to how we abuse our world, the catastrophes of usury, our tolerance of torture and lying governmental officials -- and we get arguments over medieval doctrines and uninformed biological assertions. The cynicism seems to be with those who continue to mouth the old evidence-free beliefs (opinions backed by authority and tradition) while excusing them as metaphors or poetry.<br /><br />MurdochGary Paul Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941698776126034822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449677811690616608.post-34426066708055040182009-08-27T20:23:13.610+02:002009-08-27T20:23:13.610+02:00No, you might be right.No, you might be right.Pluralist (Adrian Worsfold)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01922153724523820866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449677811690616608.post-87398634037526813912009-08-27T18:38:58.011+02:002009-08-27T18:38:58.011+02:00The deep cynicism I read in your piece on Episcopa...The deep cynicism I read in your piece on Episcopal Cafe led me to follow to your blog and see what this man has to say. I thought, perhaps indeed he is a very deep thinker and I can learn from his analysis of life. After reading your last blog entry I wonder, if indeed we have but one life and that is it, wouldn't it be best to use it for service to others rather than for whining. Or am I missing the point?Rose in the woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692846741147070937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449677811690616608.post-35902823321840722192009-08-27T14:51:40.043+02:002009-08-27T14:51:40.043+02:00There is, I can tell you, nothing that you can do ...There is, I can tell you, nothing that you can <i>do</i> and that side of it will, I hope, come from me in some due course!
