There is a british program call The Long Search involving a journalist who travels to different parts of the world examining the local religions. It is being broadcast in Toronto (Attn. Laura) on saturday or sunday afternoons on TVO (19) at 3:30 (I think). The series has at least 10 parts covering a very wide range of religions including some African tribal religions, Japan (Zen), China (Taoism, Conf- ucianism), Chatholicism, Islam, Judaism, etc. If any of you get a chance to see this program, I highly recommend it.

It would be nice if net.religion would follow the example of this program. If instead of arguing endlessly why religion X is wrong (or right), people on the net would summarize their opinion on the religion issues. I don't think it is possible to debate the "rightness" or "wrongness" of a religion or religions, as different people, when they discuss religion, employ different logic standards. I propose an alternative. Let each netter summarize his views on this matter in a short article (long articles tend to be complicated). I don't think we can convince each other, but we might have a better chance of understanding each other. -- Yosi Hoshen, Bell Laboratories Naperville, Illinois, (312)-979-7321, Mail: ihnp4!ihuxn!jho
