Ok so I have now read and reread the article a few times.
You know I have been thinking about these things and am indeed now writing an article that will touch on the importance of replacing dogma with personal interpretation in order to stop religious violence.
But I want to touch on your point about truth being a diamond. A comment on @andrewmarkmusic's article of response made me come back to the diamond, it said -
It seems that there are so many kinds of Gods and heavens to go to, I'm not even sure which one is the right.
It certainly can seem like that while reading so many books! But we can never, through the multiplicity nor the duplicity of words, lose sight of the fact that there is only one reality, only one hard and fast truth that, like a diamond, sits firmly in the center of all our analysis and perceptions and perspectives.
I look forward to continuing the conversation!
Here a friend of mine just wrote an article that touches on some surprisingly similar themes, but is about buddhism. Here she talks not abut a book, but about statues.
