Josh's Crosstime Salute

wow, I don't know where exactly to plug this comment into the larger thread, but I am reminded of the time I heard Derrida speak. it was an interview format. he was asked to reconcile contradictory-seeming written statements on his belief in God and prayer. to paraphrase and summarize his lengthy response, which I'm sure I didn't entirely understand: when I pray, if I pray, I believe in God, if I pray, which I do all the time, if I do it at all, if I believe in God. I wish I could find my notes right now so I could do a better re-creation, but all I can find are the notes from the same conference the year before. maybe if I were to sort through the towers of paper around my desk they'd be easier to find.
