It is a well written book - and perfectly fascinating. But, as Sarah pointed out, the basic premise of the book is that objective truth does not matter in religion.
Dijur's Birthday Cake
I've thought of this many times during the last 4 months of friendship with our own dear "Pi" - the young Nepalese Canadian who is one of 4 foreign English teachers in Ajigasawa.
Our friend has a lot of company these days. But truth does matter.
I like Dallas Willard's lecture on "The Relativity of Belief and the Absoluteness of Truth" . I like the title. People have it so backwards. They think that believing is the important part... but in religion, as in "real life", it is the truth that really matters.

Wow, I forgot I made you do that. It’s interesting; I was just talking about Life of Pi the other day with a gill who is reading it right now. I hope she finishes it soon so I can discus the ending with her. Sarah
You forgot?!
I miss all our good discussions! BTW, Mary is looking for the book. Where did you put it?
I haven't the foggiest idea. Sorry.
Hmmm... I guess we'll have to buy another copy.
I have one.
We'll have to borrow it! BTW, we have 2 Yuko's cake pans, a present for Grace from your Aunt Ruth Ellen and a few other odds and ends to pass over next time we see you.
