i want to read this...

so, i'm listening to ideas on cbc right now and mary hynes (from tapestry) with tom harpur. tom harpur is the author of a book called the pagan christ. he talks about all these things where the stories from the bible are repeated in tons of other religions. he talks about how it was never meant to be 'history', it was meant to be metaphore. it was a very interesting talk.

oh, and now mary is talking to irshad manji the author of the trouble with islam I actually heard this conversation earlier, maybe on sunday, it was very interesting too. i remember turning the radio on halfway through the show and thinking "i'm sure this is the woman who hosted queer tv". and it was. damn i'm good at the voice game.
