The Divinity School Address

When i read this i was stunned. How could this man write this not knowing he is going to confuse many people with all his explanations and big words. To me, after a lot of big words it just kind of bores me. I can also see why he wasn't allowed to speak at Harvard anymore. Mainly i think it was because he spoke badly about god. To a religious school that is not a very smart thing to so obviously. I am sure the dean of the school was not very happy when he said all this bad things about god.

    Allison,

    You make some good points here (except that line about the 'big words'--these are FUN not boring!). But I wonder whether or not your right about his address not being a "smart thing". After all, if you're trying to correct a policy or practice that you think is wrong-headed, isn't it better to speak to a 'hostile' audience than to one that already agrees with you?

    Just a thought. Keep these posts coming!
