Its not that I think Lerner is ineffective; rather,
I just don't see how you make non-violence work in
the face of sociopathic thugs.

The snip you sent sounds very interesting, and if
I had spare money for books, I'd go get a copy.

Believe me, I certainly don't want to diss honest
spirituality/meaning of life. We have gotten to
our current predicament via dishonest spirituality.

One of my favorite quotes is from Jacques Ellul's
"Propaganda", in which he says that when religion
is used for political purposes, it loses its
spirituality and becomes just another ideology.

Peace
