Dangerous Intersection
Human animals at the crossroads of culture, science, religion & media

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Martin Luther King, Jr.

“If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.” Jimmy Carter

Dangerous Intersection focuses on using current events as a springboard to higher-level discussions about human animals and the human condition. Serious media issues (including ownership issues) hover in the background of discussions of all important issues. This is a place where a diverse group of writers use diverse disciplines to bridge the apparent walls that divide people, the groups they form and the environments they occupy. They believe that among well-educated and self-critical people, good ideas beat bad ideas whenever given the opportunity.

A Response to a Decade of Understanding
22 jan  |  Last Saturday, HPD published Sumer Dayal’s brilliant and well-researched article about his dream for this decade to be one of understanding. He argued that there is (and should be) more ‘religious overlap’ and that we must seek to understand ‘the other’s’ religion and beliefs if we are to move forward as a species.

With respect to a good friend and great co-worker I say sorry- not a chance mate.

As long as organised religion exists, doubt, destruction and debilitating stupidity will be the norm. It’s time that we stopped trying to ‘understand’ religion and started to understand that superstition, faith and fanaticism are a threat to any social progression. - by Sean Maguire . . read more
