It speaks directly to your stated desire: I don't want to see reality through a lens. I want as clear a picture as possible. ... and it explains, very well, I think, exactly why it is utterly impossible to satisfy that desire. So please, check it out. It may go a long way towards explaining the difference and distance between our worldviews, if not towards helping us build a mutual understanding. At any rate, it's very much worth reading and thinking about.http://vox-nova.com/2008/09/23/christian-upaya/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
