Atheists, Evangelists, and Prophets take over Balboa Park
So I am not quite sure why describing James Hutson as "nearly translucent" has a bearing on his thoughts, which are laudable, and seem to be well grounded in a humanistic approach. Also left wondering if the author ever thought to find out how the evangelists rate the various other world religions when it comes to validity. Has no one in that camp begun to understand the "toleration' approach to faith? It was a tenent of our Christian Pilgrim forefathers, and mothers-as they knew exactly what intolerance and inflexibility lead to. Much of what is still on display in theocratic states, and is the root of terrorism around the world. It seems it would have been a valid question to pose--if one wants to illuminate a mindset. Hare Krishnas handing out cookies is great, so is Catholics who are feeding and clothing the poor and hungry, and anyone who is living their own exemplary life. Brow beating others, no matter the religion of choice, smells too much like the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, and would seem a lazy man's (or woman's) way to "win" someone over. Or is this all about people who need attention, and control? They seem to me to be valid questions worthy of journalistic attention, rather than random and irrelevant physical descriptions.— April 6, 2014 2:59 p.m.
