| Zahalsky | Comments seem overly defensive. It was a simple essay -- obviously trying to be fair and somewhat objective. I liked it. | 11/7/2007 |

| Rezib Tutsanai | I would be very interested to know how Mr. Hoerner gained his knowledge of "African" spirituality. It would seem that a person who is not of the bloodlines of the Priests would not have the authority to speak on these subjects. I would suggest that information presented online by Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig, a Dogon High Priest of the blood line of Priests that can be traced back perhaps as far as 75,000 years. It would seem that he would present a more credible source of such information. An outsider could only present speculation and conjecture. Such actions can at best be confusing to a true seeker and at worst be highly destructive. |

| Jennafer | This man is absurd. A toaster to talk of llamas? Africans can coherently speak of man, diety, and earth as can Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, or any other religion. The fact that they relate these ideas does not make conveying them impossible. It seems as though this man has taken the rather regular and unimaginative route when encountering a non-Western culture: the natural world is supreme and humans are dwarfed in its landscape, chained only to a harmonic role. This may be true, but I suspect it is more complex. After all, Christianity often claimed no more then a minor, harmonic role, in its ancient days touted as a earth religion, however within lay the seeds to a very dominating culture. African religion contains paths to harmony and dissent with nature, it is a human religion. | 10/2/2006 |
