A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

Eddy and Boyd have claimed the laurel wreath of “victim” so as to dignify credulity as a method. They argue that it would be a Eurocentric, ethno-biased slur to “people’s religion” the world over if we did not broaden the analogy of present-day experience (with which to judge past-event claims) to include that of various Pentecostals, third world shamans, and New Agers. The viewpoint of such a “confederacy of dunces” the authors dub a “democratized epistemology”.
