some quotes...
11:02 p.m.
"i can see the use and value of religion, just as i can
see the use of mud-wrestling, yoga, astronomy and
sado-masochism. but i reject the idea that you can't be a 'deep' human being without it or any of them. so are they all 'of equal value'? well, some are more universal than others, which means there's more conversation about them to share, which means that they present themselves with more ready-made meanings and resonances. but 'more' isn't necessarily better -
for some meanings 'switch off' others. so 'more' can mean 'overspecified' and 'rigid', which is why someone might want to base a spiritual life round motorbikes rather than catholicism. it's open territory, with all the freedoms and improvisations that implies. THE ACT OF CONFERRING VALUE BELONGS TO YOU.
