“i guess ..i meant a secular rather than a religious or theological mode of understanding things...the world.... “ – PSK
Well, that does point towards an area of your beliefs so thanks for this much. Perhaps you could be even more specific? As far as I’ve found out…reviewing human thought over the ages,… secular and religious views often are at the very least intertwined. On the other hand, perhaps you are being much more literal when you use the notion of “…mode of understanding things…”. If this is the case, a more specific unpacking of what the two apparently (to you) different modes would be of value, OK? I’ll suspend judgment until I hear more.
