The Interdependence Project

This is an odd entry for me, but one that I am very passionate about.  I found the Interdenpence Project podcast (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040275) quite a while ago, and have been a regular listener.  Focusing primarily on the Buddhist philisophical tradition, it is very spiritual, even though the grou isn’t understood as spiritual in nature.  Here is an interview with Ethan Nichterm who started the group. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fE8hvD54Lk&eurl=http://theidproject.com/press.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fE8hvD54Lk&eurl=http://theidproject.com/press.htm

Are the Religious Obsessed with Sex?

The Year of Living Biblically I’m reading a new book, and it seems that within the Judeo-Christian traditions, people have always been obsessed with sex. I began reading, “The Year of Living Biblically” by AJ Jacobs, and thought I would blog about it as I move through the book.  So, far it is pretty good, but I’m barely half-way through the first chapter, and I’m a slow reader. So bear with me. Got Religion? So,[Read More…]
