Karen Armstrong is amazing. I don't think I'm smart enough to participate in the majority of the discussion in RS, but I'm reading and following and learning a lot here....and I just had to give a shout out when I saw you recommended her book. She's fantastic.

Heehee. Yeah, Hopefulfaith, that's how I feel sometimes too. I don't think it means one person is necessarily "more smart" than another, though; some people have developed an ability and an interest in debate and, perhaps, a more analytical approach to religions. I prefer to vibrate and absorb.

Can we leave Judaism out of this? Judaism doesn't believe in ultimate truth, except for an ultimate truth for Jews. Judaism is more akin to Hinduism, in believing that "the righteous of all nations will have a place in the kingdom."

Just so we can stay on topic. I'm really enjoying this discussion. :
