Lance, Yes, I'm planning to go. Are you thinking of going?

I thought his books on War and Fascism were quite good. I've of a mixed mind about that column. My initial impression upon reading it was that he'd been influenced by Paul Tillich at some time in his life. He seems to be defending the God of liberal Protestants and liberal Catholics. I'm under the impression that the masses of people are moving towards the supernaturalist God of fundamentalist religion. Harris is speaking out against that movement. On the other hand the god of Tillich ain't so bad. I took a little pilgrimage to Tillich's grave and memorial in New Harmony, Indiana a couple of years ago. He's got to be the only philosopher/theologian with a classy restaurant at his gravesite. Must have something good going for him.

I'm totally unconvinced by Hedges claim that Christian monotheism developed individualism. If Christianity was so individualistic, why was it the underlying ideology of feudalism for 1000 years?
