A Koan for Our Times (Maya Angelou, Bono, Jimmy Carter, Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dali Lama, Gandhi, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Oprah Winfrey)

The American left generally has high regards these guys: 

Maya Angelou,

Bono,

Jimmy Carter,

Pema Chodron,

Thich Nhat Hanh,

Dalai Lama,

Gandhi,

Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bishop Desmond Tutu

Oprah Winfrey

 

but denies any force that cannot be measured by science, even though these guys are all driven by spiritual belief.

The American right generally has high regard for this guy-- 

Christ--

 

but generally does not like these guys--Maya Angelou, Bono, Jimmy Carter, Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dali Lama, Gandhi, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Oprah Winfrey--  

who, regardless of their religious affiliations, work to implement His message into daily life.
