When it comes to religion, atheism, or agnosticism, it seems there is a wide majority of people who do not understand basic concepts that some would take for granted or as common sense. Here’s a few of those misunderstood ideas that occurred to me as I was watching recently a TV show on Atheism.
What does it mean when even the likes of Mother Teresa, now Santa Teresa, are being put in question, and how do the rest of us mere mortals cope with this anxiety?!
But there is something that I must admit to. The above argument is a rational one. Emotionally, I really do not want to see burkinis or even veiled women jumping in the water all dressed up when I’m on the beach anywhere, let alone on the beach in France! I really don’t. I admit, and I know this is not at all politically correct but I’ve never been politically correct, that this is an ugly sight to see on the beach. It might be an infringement on their rights to ban it, but it is also in infringement on my aesthetic rights to have to endure it. So what to do?

My first up-close encounter with Sufism and the lasting impression it made on freeing my mind from all doctrines.
