Walking Along the Religion Section…
When books on new-atheism, daVinci’s code inspried conspiracy theories and alike, filled the “religion” section in the public library,
I feel sad.
I am sad not because I can’t tolerate different voices (I have no problems with books on Buddhism, Islam, or even other new-age “bibles”). I just don’t understand the logic on how a library determines what books to get (or not). Some books, which are pure attracts on other religions, are based on speculations or ill-informed research. I can think of a thousand titles to get on the same topic instead that one they shelved. But yeah, what do I know…
Think about walking into the “Cook-book” section of a library, yet all you can find are books with titles like “The REAL reason Jamie Oliver wants you to follow his recipes”, “Can we all eat crap and be happy about it?”, or “Good cooking is the source of all evil”.
You know what I mean?
Is there a difference between serving our community, and pleasing our community?
Should there be one?
