 | | While her book resounds in vast amounts of research and supplies us with a wealth of solid information, it is not fair, and Fisher's bias as a known universalist (she's a devout follower of interfaith guru, Baba Virsa Singh) rings true by the end of the book. |
 | | Yet, Fisher, in her last chapter, depicts religions as one in the same, stopping just short of the always useful but never logical, "Religions are like cars" routine, "they all take you to the same place but by different roads." |
 | | With Jews and Christians, she points out supposed sexism and contradictory elements in Genesis, but never mentions the full context, nor does she apply this same formula to the religions that are more universal, essentially questioning those that practice monotheism but nary a peep about the pluralist faiths. |
