Charter for Compassion -- Karen Armstrong at TED

It's amazing...

After she walked away from her convent, Karen thought she was utterly quit of religion for the rest of her life. Now she's working on making all religions more compassionate.

This is extraordinary. It's unfortunate that it's the view of such a small minority but how else could one explain the Republican take-over by the Religious Reich?

I'm afraid I'm being cynical and pessimistic; I'd love to see something like the Charter for Compassion take hold, but I really don't expect it.
