I don't know how much of my inattention is because I hadn't noticed how smartly provocative his writing is, and how much is because, as a cartographer, he's been writing less for a mapmaking audience lately, and more for Quakers and other people who question the meaning of religion. People like me. This post expands on a brief comment I made on his post Fragments of a Religion That Never Existed, where Nat writes in part:
"What I'm interested in here is the idea of scripture not defined by its innate qualities (e.g. dictated by God), but by its functional qualities. What does scripture do? I find scripture-as-community-glue interesting, but my sympathies lie with scriptures-taken-to-heart. I do have a series of books, passages from books, poems, some formal religious texts, ballads, and films that form what I believe is similar to the sort of scripture-taken-to-heart that orthodox folk might have. Except I do not have a community that draws from the same set of texts."
