“Refusing all inwardness and consolation, David Webster faces down spirituality’s guile in favour of a bleak atheism’s hints of a worthwhile life. Bracing, timely stuff!”

Hi David
Thank you very much for this!
I’ve read through your site with great interest. I’m not sure whether you’ve found some writing I’ve done that is more directly relevant to your project than my WordPress blog is. It’s at meaningness.com (rather than meaningness.wordpress.com—an unfortunate confusion). I’ve written about the bogosity of SBNR and various similar “spiritual” movements.
I’m hoping to get back to that work soon (after a too-long diversion through Buddhism). Specifically, to explain exactly what’s wrong with “All Is One” and “Everything is connected” and “Your true self is God.”
Best wishes,
David
Looks good.. Thanks for the reply: I will check out those posts- but even more so await those you mention..
Cheers, d.
