Sparks fly this time! Some replies to recent postings, 
all in the context of mutual regard, an exchange of perspectives 
and collaborative effort:


MULTI-PERSPECTIVAL RELIGION

Chris Dierkes submitted a lengthy reply to Ray Harris' recent essay 
on Christianity (still #1 on our essay top 10), in which he also 
comments on the Da Vinci Code and Nondual Christianity. "I'm not 
writing in order to convince Ray that he should hold different views 
on Christianity. Nor am I writing from an arrogant assumption that 
my faith (which is Christian and of the kind criticized in Ray's 
article) is clearly superior and immune from such objections. Ray 
makes a forceful claim that orthodox Christian doctrine is flawed. 
I am responding to this charge—I am not declaring that I know for 
certain that Christianity is the ultimate truth in all contexts 
to the entire universe for all created beings (it is still faith). 
Rather I am making the best case I can to show the ways in which 
Ray's interpretation is misguided and faulty and to let the 
doctrine stand as best as it can for itself and let the reader 
make up his/her own mind on the subject."
