Robert Anton Wilson:
Cultural configurations have a spooky fascination. The atheistic religions of the East (Buddhism, Taoism) have the relativistic tolerance of their theistic rivals (Hinduism, Shinto.). The atheistic religions of the West (Marxism, Objectivism, CSICOP) have the fanatic intolerance of their theistic rivals (Christianity, Islam etc.) I guess our cultural configuration (emic reality) determines us in more ways that we realize.
