The title is a misnomer. The book is divided into two parts. The first is a critique of classic theology, such as the ontological and teleological arguments for the existence of the Judeo-Christian God. The critique is alright on its own terms, but th ...more |

I had heard great things about this book, even comparisons with Siddhartha, but ultimately I was disappointed. This is a spiritual book, but with a message that's kind of mish-mosh, randomly mixing bits of universal truth, biblical tradition, New Age ...more |

“Fear and superstition were not the tools of witches but rather the tools of those who persecuted them.”

“Native peoples do not look for salvation from worlds beyond. They need no alternate reality, because the mortal world and the spirit world are the same. This Earth is heaven, hell and purgatory; but most importantly, it is home. The greatest of spiritual mysteries may be revealed just beyond the front door, in the life of a community.”

“I firmly believe that American society would not endure ten years if subjected to half the trials and tortures we’ve put Natives through. And yet Native peoples have not been utterly destroyed, not by the world’s strongest military. They have not been totally assimilated, not by the world’s largest religion. Native religions are indeed concerned with being a good person, respecting one’s family, ancestors, community, and the Earth—and when these principles are lived, there is great strength.”
