Confession of a Buddhist Atheist: Stephen Batchelor

Every once in awhile I read a book that I feel in "sync" with. Many of the questions and struggles that were provoked by my experience in Bodhagaya and in Thailand are shared in this book. A similar history of phenomenology and existentialism provides another shared context. My skepticism of Karma and of re-birth are also shared. It is confirming sometimes to read a book that "makes sense". I have wanted to talk about this experience, in a sense this book provides the discussion.
