While this book may be "biased" I've yet read anything from the skeptic's world that wasn't the same -- let's face it, either side is trying to sell their point of view; their version of the gospel.
As most know, I stand in between these two worlds leaning far closer to the skeptic's side of things than that of the "blind & deaf" believer. Put another way, Ignorance can be corrected through study, but stupidity is a thing people volunteer to be by not being willing to learn. This is a double-edge ideology in that it requires us to see an issue fairly, from all available points of view. Based on the reactions I'm betting this book has gone to the extreme opposite end of the proverbial scale, failing to find and share the common ground factor which actually does exist -- there is a very intellectual side to esoteric philosophy, the problem is however, so few graduate beyond that first "elementary" sphere of things -- they are in love with the idea of things fantastic rather than the harder truth such things actually represent. As an old country minister pointed out to me once, less than 10% of any church congregation actually does the work and understands the mission -- it's an unfortunate truth in many aspects of life.Statistics: Posted by Craig Browning — 21 May 2011, 23:57
