I first met Chad W. Thompson several months ago while attending one of his lectures at ASU.

“Perhaps my single greatest disappointment in most of the world’s religions is that they succeeded, against all odds, in making most people afriad of God! Do you realize how absurd and horrible that is? It pretty much makes it an unsafe and scary universe at the core, where no one is at home […]
There is still alot I don't understand, and spiritual things I don't get. I guess we were never meant to know all about it.
