God. One minute he can write. And the next minute he starts explaining other academics, and its turned into a series of words that all end with (ism, ion, or istic). The points he's making; that religion is more a matter of practice and habitual action than words on paper is good. The ways hes making these points is awful, especially because it seems that he can actually write well, but does not always choose to."

""To speak is to act, words are not merely expressive but sensuous, not merely representational but presencing:
‘Speaking is a kind of sonorous touching; language is tissue in the flesh of the world. Or, to be more graphic, think of language as a bodily secretion; and if [that feels suspiciously erotic,] I can only remind you of how we refer to speaking as intercourse, and the double meaning contained therein.’""

What if -gasp- religion were about daily practices rather than beliefs about God. Graham Harvey is making this point, which should be more obvious than it is, and he is making it well. What we habitually do everyday, especially with our bodies is religion. Not obscure debates over exactly what fractional equivalent of divine or human Jesus was. Love this so far.
