The Worst And The Best

Religion evokes the worst and the best in humanity. SM Stirling's Count Ignatieff believes that he will enter Hell but as one of the torturers! Further, people have tortured in the name of religion and I have encountered Evangelicals who openly gloated at the expected damnation of those who disagreed with them. But let us ascend from the demonic to the sublime, starting with Indian religious diversity.

Poul Anderson's fiction addresses the profoundest of theological questions. See "The Gwydiona Experience" and "The Problem Of Pain."

A short post this morning but I think that its links are worth checking.
