Description
"Making God Laugh examines the fundamentalist claim that we can know what God knows and that we can, therefore, speak with divine authority about God's plans for us and for the world. Such arrogance must surely make God laugh! But its effects on our relationships with other Christians and with other religions are no laughing matter. Neither is the allied claim that God has made us the center of the universe, an understanding that has legitimized the exploitation of the earth's natural resources. Anne Primavesi argues that the time has come to replace human arrogance with ecological humility and a scientific understanding of ourselves as interdependent members of the whole community of life on earth."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
