Bag om Our Folk Soul and An Irrational Ethic
The essay 'Our Folk Soul' was conceived as an explo- ration of what had occurred to me for some time as one of two possible ways for us to cooperate with god. My experience of human beings in community taught me that we do not all relate to god in the same way. Simply put, some come to god, others accept god. Some place the emphasis on doing, others on being and behaviour.
During the course of this exploration I made some in- teresting discoveries, which persuaded me, in the end, to write an Irrational Ethic, in comparison to the more lengthy exploratory essay on rational ethics I had written many years ago.
I hope the reader of these two essays will approach them with an open mind, for they are in no way intended as a contribution to traditional, western, philosophical or theological thought. They make no pretension to aca- demic, orthodox acceptability.
