Next Steps (for ej)

ej has some explanation on Harry's blog of how my views have changed over the years. His explanation didn't really sound correct to me. I would state it more simply. I started out with a straight up RWMO Hashkafah and slowly became more and more skeptical until I ended up Reconstructionist Agnostic Theistish. Shoyn.

Anyways, so what are the next steps?

In my younger days, I had a dream of inventing some new Theology to make it all make sense. LOL. Nowadays I think it's more about emphasis and attitude. I can't articulate it all (yet), but I think the solution involves some or all of the following points:

1. Recognizing value in religious ritual and continuity.

2. Understanding the evolution of religion in general (and Judaism in particular)

3. Comparing other utopian or rather dystopian visions.

4. Loyalty, tribality, ethnicity etc

5. Getting down with Mythology.

6. Getting down with touchy feelly crunchy granola Judaism (Oh no please God no)

and probably some other stuff. Or maybe just saying meh.
