Things are a little unsettled in my life (more than a little actually), making it quite hard to find a chunk of time to get the stuff written I have been wanting to touch on for some time now. When I do get the chance, I feel the need to present a more nuanced approach to my religio-political positions. Primarily, it has become clear after several very lengthy emails I received regarding my most recent blog that my reaons for not believing are not important at all, but, rather, the fact that I chose not to believe is deeply disturbing. However, I am beginning to fully realise, for the first time, that these visceral responses are speaking to some fairly deep and genuine anxieties on the part of the believers, not just a determination to be irrational. As soon as I get a chance, I would like to look at these anxieties in a little more depth in an effort to understand why such polarization is occurring, and the ramifications for the socio-politico scene inherent in this polarization. So, as soon as possible, this discussion is going to take place.
For now, onwards and upwards...
