I don't care to read it.
I am not a christian but I get tired of all the christian bashing that goes on here.
If Christians posted half as many pro christian threads as you anti-christians post about their faith, there would be a mutiny on these boards.

I take it he's an atheist. Sorry...I didn't read the entire thing, it got way too dogmatic for me, but I got that much out of it.
I'm not a Christian, but I'm not an atheist either. I have my own set of beliefs based on what feels right to me of God and the Universe.
One of my favorite philosophers is Deepok Chopra.

Ok. Your choice. It´s an interesting writing though.

Looks interesting...and lengthy. I'll give it a read sooner or later.
I'm not a Christian, but I do love Jesus' preachings of love in the new testament. Whether he existed or not, nothing can take away from his powerful message.

Yes, he is an atheist. It´s not so much that as it is the reasoning that attracts me. I think Deepak Chopra is very good too. What´s your favorite writing of his?

That´s what FAITH is all about - you can´t reason about it. Some have it, some don´t.

I haven't actually read one of his books yet...I have a couple, just haven't gotten to them...but I did have the wonderful experience of getting to hear him speak at a conference in San Francisco last year, and I have seen excerpts from his books. Someday I'll get time to actually read them. What I have seen and heard so far has made him my favorite...I believe that will only be more true once I get to reading him.
I also like Eckert Tolle. I'm in the process of reading one of his right now.

Not a philosopher in the strict sense of the word, but a thinker and a good one, too; very reasonable and clear-minded: Dalai Lama. Tried reading him yet?

Again, excerpts...but I have a book by the current Dalai Lama on my shelves also awaiting time to read it. I went on a rampage this summer and bought a ton of books on philosophy and spirituality...and haven't had the time to read them all yet. One at a time, I'll get through them eventually.
Some women say, "So many men and not enough time," for me it's "so many books, and not enough time."
