I wish to correct a misunderstanding. It is NOT necessarily Conrad Cherry's view that "America is the nation to act as missionary and defender of democratic...
Tom, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this message. You write, "However, I do not hear the voice of moderate Muslims speaking up and decrying what...
David, Thank you for the various links to voices of moderation. I found the worldwisdom site to be very interesting and have ordered several books from them....
Hi Tom, I really do like the worldwisdom site. The provide more than a simple description for most of their books and they really do have a great catalog for...
The recent discussion on Islamic Fundamentalism caused me to start rereading a old college text on comparative religion by Professor Charles Morris of the...
Greetings all, It's been awhile since I posted anything, and, quite honestly, I haven't been keeping up with the dialogue, as a whole. Please forgive my...
... It probably is reductionist but isn't that the nature of psychology and sociology? (smile) On the other hand it just might be realistic. Despite all our...
Tom, It's kinda late, so forgive me if this doesn't make sense. Firstly, yes, most psychology and sociology is reductionist. But, in the end, we are talking...
Human relationships/interactions are constantly "categorized" by pyschologists, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and, most recently,...
Tom, Your arguments are both cogent and reasonable. I find nothing of consequence to counter with. Nonetheless, I'm left feeling a bit of a letdown. I agree...

Tom, I have difficulty with the psychology that Morris proposes and the paths that he apparently derives from it. Of course I'm not sure how he defines desire,...
Tom & Kevin, I agree that much of psycholgy and sociology are reductionistic as are most of the sciences. There is a new breed of integral psychologists and ...
Tom, I agree with most of what you are saying, but with some exceptions. Some personality types don't interact very well and those at different levels of...
Whether we utilize personality types, spiral dynamics, or developmental patterns of spiritual growth, we can come to a consensus that some people just do not...
Tom, I agree there are those who are not likely to be productive participants in inter-faith dialogue. It is also likely that for any particular person or ...
... This is not directed solely at David but offered as a means to continue discussion. What, specifically, does Christianity have to over to Hinduism?...
... This is, indeed, very true. Hinduism is much more inclusive than historical Christianity. A Hindu has no major difficulty accepting Jesus Christ as an...
Ken, I believe that Bede Griifiths incorporated a lot of Hinduism in his own thinking. One common misunderstanding of Hinduism is that it is a polytheistic...
... The question, though, is how much of what Bede incorporated is "true" to Christianity? Was Bede's incorporation of Hindu elements such that his ...
