{"product_id":"lifes-too-short-to-pretend-youre-not-religious-1","title":"Life's Too Short To Pretend You're Not Religious","description":"For many of us, the word religious immediately evokes\nthoughts of brainwashing, violence, and eye-rubbingly\ntiresome conversations. Why not be done with it? David\nDark argues that it’s not that simple: “If what we believe\nis what we see is what we do is who we are, there’s no\ngetting away from religion.”\nBoth incisive and entertaining, this paperback edition\nof Life’s Too Short to Pretend You’re Not Religious combines\nDark’s keen powers of cultural observation with candor\nand wit. With equal parts memoir and analysis, Dark\npersuasively argues that the fact of religion is the fact\nof relationship.\nLooking hard at our weird religious backgrounds (Dark\nmaintains we all have one) can bring the actual content\nof our everyday existence—the good, the bad, and the\nglaringly inconsistent—to fuller consciousness. By\ndoing so, we can more practically envision an undivided\nlife and reclaim the idea of being “religious.”","brand":"David Dark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55423472664952,"sku":"9780830843947","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9351\/9316\/files\/10045364_LRG.jpg?v=1758338206","url":"https:\/\/etcevents.co.uk\/products\/lifes-too-short-to-pretend-youre-not-religious-1","provider":"ETCEvents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
