This blog should be a space of lively debate and, yes, even disagreement. However, it is difficult for knowledge sharing to occur if debate devolves into attack. To avoid that scenario, I request that you comply with the following two simple rules when posting to this blog:

1) Please be on-topic. Again, disagreement is fine, and even encouraged. Just make sure it is relevant.
2) Please be courteous. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t want your mother, pastor, rabbi, or imam to hear.

… and 2 ½) I reserve the right to delete any comment that does not adhere to the above rules.

Note: Religion and spirituality are extremely personal topics. Please bear this in mind when making your posts.
