First post

The people who run the Get Religion blog are concerned about the MSN's inability to understand the religious aspects of the news. But often the differences between religions and especially the differences between the religious point of view and the secular one are differences in first principles of practical reasoning. The religious and the secular worlds have a difficult time understanding one another because they see reality in ways which are mutually exclusive. The differences are metaphysical ones. So in order to get religion one must first get metaphysics. Only then can one understand the various arguments over morals and religious well enough to make sense of them. The goal of this blog is to explore and explain these differences.
