The vault

A thing yesterday evening that made me laugh a lot. I’ve been slowly but not steadily going through an impressive collection of Stuff in order to get rid of at least some of it, and in a stack of old magazines there was an issue of New Humanist from January/February 2011. I put it aside to leaf through later, and yesterday was later so I leafed through it and paused at a review of a book about compassion by Karen Armstrong. “Oh interesting,” I thought. “I wouldn’t mind writing a review of that myself.”

So I read past the headline and discovered that I had written it.

I don’t exactly know why that was so funny, but it was.

It’s here in case you want to read it (also if you don’t).

    An outstanding review. I think that people find easy answers, or non-answers to be a kind of linament, while simply not knowing is treated as unacceptable. It’s okay to not know. Atheism is the rejection of spritual or supernatural “knowledge” or in the colloquial, “belief.” Some of us find that unsatisfying as well.
