[Buddha-l] Religious, But Not Spiritual

[Timothy Smith]

William James would have hated Wilbur, and seen him as modern day  
wannabe Hegel.  While I like some of Ken's ideas, I have a natural  
aversion
to all 'systems' of philosophy.  The line below about the "most  
comprehensive map of reality available" is the one that gets me  
most.  The rest
is just slick marketing.
