Some Thinkers Think Alike!

It is funny how these things sometimes 'bunch up' in pairs or groups.  I just saw this Ted Talk over the weekend by Lesley Hazleton whom I have quoted elsewhere here.  She speaks about the essential need for doubt as part of faith.





Then, today I read a column by Leonard Pitts that takes a different approach but reaches the same basic conclusions

Together they are a neat encapsulation of why I don't have much use for 'organized religions'.  They can "preach the preach", but they have a lot of trouble "walking the walk".
