...thematics. I certainly would not try to convert him to Christianity or any religion, but to find his own path to rationality. 11. He would read the biographies of the greatest people in reported history. 12. He would learn why Western Culture flourished and his peoples’ culture languished. 13. Then I would have him testify.

A Life of Reading

...and explained it, to everyone I could corner. When I appear to be rough on religions and religious pronouncements, it is my reading that is partly to blame. One cannot read biographies of Darwin, or The Song of the Dodo, or Jared Diamond’s books on societies and civilizations, or the history of the Egyptians, or the work of the Leakeys, and also believe that water can be changed into wine, the dead brought back to life, or demons cast from a menta...

Where Have You Been Mr. Hunter?

...happy that I enjoyed reading my own writing. The same for “Burt’s Views on Religion and Religiosity”.     Instead of posting, I poured the equivalent of 6-8 blog articles into a continuing legal education (CLE) presentation for 50 lawyers at the WV State Bar Center in Charleston on the fundamentals of law office technology for small family law firms in early May.

It was our job to come up with creative and innovative ideas. I cannot remember whether it was for a poster, a program, or an activity.
