Quote (keiths @ Feb. 24 2013,16:25) | Quote (Glen Davidson @ Feb. 24 2013,08:27) | I could go on and on about this, but I'm really commenting because William J. Murray has a particularly personal reason for not being open to science and especially atheism (not that I care more than a minuscule amount about that), which is that he's Madelyn Murray O'Hair's son, I believe the one involved in the Supreme Court case regarding school prayer. |
Glen,
You've got the wrong William J. Murray.
Your WJM is a conservative Christian who heads the Religious Freedom Coalition. UD's WJM is more of a New Age woomeister.
He's also prescient. His book was written in 1993, but he was already preparing for his role at UD: Quote | Now, in Unconditional Freedom, Murray teaches us how to manipulate reality to gain unlimited freedom. This mind-bending behemoth of a book shows how to "bring the Angels down," how to harness "The IDiot Within," how to move toward "Zenine Society." Murray devastates the crumbling institutions of government, law, school, medicine, science, religion, work; even time, space and matter! "We're going to knock down the walls and rip up the floorboards that keep us imprisoned in the hellish box of 'normal life' and consensus reality," says the author. That's something worth reading, don't you think? |

You're sure they're different persons?
O'Hair's son sounds a lot like UD's Murray.
Amazon has the same author for Unconditional Freedom and Life Without God. I know that doesn't mean much, though.
Well, if I'm wrong I apologize. I thought someone had referred to his book "Life without God" on UD, a book by the Religious Freedom guy, but perhaps not, perhaps I just looked him up and thought it was UD's Murray.
I'll take it for now that they are different persons, because I don't know for sure, and don't care all that much. I looked a bit for a list of books by a person of that name, but other than lists by book vendors which typically put Unconditional Freedom with the one's by O'Hair's son, I didn't find anything, and won't spend much time on it.
Anyway, thanks for looking into it.
