So, I was just wondering whether anyone was planning on seeing the movie, “Life of Pi”? I’ve heard that it’s a visually stunning film.
I also know that it’s main character advocates an interesting pluralistic religious worldview. I was re-reading some of the book that the movie was based on recently, and realized that my own religious views have changed somewhat since I originally purchased it. Back then, I merely dismissed such religious pluralism as hokum. Even now, I feel that religious pluralists do not give sufficient attention to the “Irreconcilable differences” that distinguish one religion from another.
Be that as it may, having come to a place of advocating Christian Universalism, I now find myself wondering about other forms of universalism. Should they be seen as a generally positive step away from religious exclusivism? Or perhaps they only serve to confuse an already overly confused world, and thereby keep people from reaching the truth? I can see both ways, to some extent. I find myself with a lot of questions on this one.
Anyone have any thoughts?
