Open-Source Religion

G4 - Feature - Open-Source Religion:
"An open source relationship to religion would likewise take advantage of the individual points of view of its many active participants to develop its more resolved picture of the world and our place within it. Instead of seeing blasphemy in the deconstruction of the Torah as a piece of literature, we come to understand that the document's true power is only unleashed when submitted to the simultaneous scrutiny of each member of our entire community. Encouraging people to develop and share their personal perspectives on the Torah in the context of its historically validated evolution does not challenge the testament's authority at all, but confirms it as a living document with an almost infinite supply of unharvested wisdom.
