Armstrong’s Beliefs

Concerning “Coming to Terms With God in a Newly Religious Age” (Opinion, Dec. 22), most intellectuals would probably agree with Dan O’Neil (letter, Dec. 31) that “intellect” is an unreliable god, to put it mildly.

So, to judge from her own words, would Karen Armstrong, who says any authentic statement about God should be paradoxical, and should reduce us to silence. She also says “compassion is the only litmus test of true spirituality.”
