Listened to a fantastic podcast on CBC's "Tapestry" today while I was folding laundry. It is an interview with Richard Holloway, the former Bishop of Edinburgh. I really liked his insight into how cruel our obsession with revealing the sins of celebrities and politicians is. The entire discussion, however, is based around exploring the idea of what it means to be human.
I really like what he has to say about both extreme ends of theists and atheists as not recognizing how little is actually KNOWN on the subject they debate over. His plea for humility and understanding is inspiring.
