It is close to an a priori position for me but I am convinced that there is no foundation upon which, or from which, we can base our understanding of our world, despite the fact that [...]

Large Christian gatherings normally freak the Jesus out of me - literally! But I absolutely love Greenbelt. I have just got back from this year’s festival – well actually, I got back Tuesday but this is the first chance I have had to write on my blog – and I thought I would point you [...]
