Two large conversations are going on around me these days. One is among Nazrudin, a listserve that discusses financial planning issues, from the right hemisphere. This is a very New Agey group. They like Buddhism and Alternative currencies. They like deeply personal money forces and issues. They don't like it when one of their membership brings up God. Someone posted a much forwarded "prayer" to open the Kansas legislature one morning a couple of years ago. The prayer asks God's forgiveness for many cultural fads which violate God's law, but please liberal sensitivities, if that is not an oxymoron. The poor man was attacked immediately by an offended person, asking him to cease and desist making her uncomfortable or she would be forced, by his intolerance, to leave the group! The next twenty posts were discussions of whether a New Age site that combined spirituality and money wasn't just the forum for a discussion of God, even in his incarnation as our Lord Jesus Christ. The group was pretty sure this was very dicey stuff. I'm sure many tears are being shed by offended group members. I'll report on the other conversation tomorrow with opinion.
