Received from a dear MySpace friend:

"In contrasting Buddhism and Vedanta (Hindu philosophy), Bob Thurman, a former Buddhist monk and Deepak Chopra find there are more comparisons than differences, and both agree that, more and more, scientists are showing that quantum physics and spirituality (awareness, consciousness, the soul) are the nature of true reality. A must-see."

A Rough History Of Disbelief - Part Two

"Part two - Noughts and Crosses: With the domination of Christianity from 500 AD, Jonathan Miller wonders how disbelief began to re-emerge in the 15th and 16th centuries. He discovers that division within the Church played a more powerful role than the scientific discoveries of the period. He also visits Paris, the home of the 18th century atheist, Baron D'Holbach, and shows how politically dangerous it was to undermine the religious faith of the masses."
