Thanks so much for the support!!
As ...Hey, Brian!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the support!!<br /><br />As I stated in the review, I have always found this subject fascinating. At this point in my life, as you know, it happens to have special relevance for me.<br /><br />I'm so glad that, although a non-believer, you're still interested in religious subjects. Even if I were a non-believer myself, I, too, would still find them interesting. There's just that certain something that makes them so appealing.... I feel the same way about New Age topics.<br /><br />How fascinating that you're currently reading a book on moral relativism! I need to get this book and read it!! I love that Pinker destroys this concept through a scientific and rationalistic analysis. Thanks for putting this book on my radar!!<br /><br />I'm also glad that you agree with believers that moral relativism is not a worthwhile concept. That's AWESOME!! And this makes me want to investigate Pinker's book, and similar ones, even more! I know that many religious people accuse atheists of not having a viable moral philosophy, or good ethical values. I firmly believe that this is a gross generalization. In fact, there are atheists -- as well as agnostics -- that I'm sure would put some believers to shame.<br /><br />Thanks for the great comment!! : )Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487611241541459968.post-30005920008254045602015-12-19T14:15:27.895-05:002015-12-19T14:15:27.895-05:00Great review as always Maria.
Though a non believ...Great review as always Maria.<br /><br />Though a non believer I think that I would find this interesting. As you know I am interested in religious thing and related subjects. <br /><br />It is interesting that you mentioned that this book tackles moral relativism. I am currently reading Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate. In that book Pinker demolishes that idea from a scientific and rationalistic point of view. I really dislike the idea myself. This is certainly something I can agree with religious folks about.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
