Re: Sad News

RIP Art. Such an amazing personality. He opened my eyes to a new way of thinking - being open minded and fair. And he was so entertaining.

That's too bad. I tried to edit the title so it's not misleading, but it doesn't change the original title. Could an admin take care of that?

Thanks for the info!

I would say that religion and spirituality is 1% nature and 99% nurture. Alper agrees, and believes your choice of religion is almost completely a product of the "cultural-box" you happened to be raised in. i.e. India = Hinduism, China = Buddhism, Mid East = Islam, North America = Christi...

Appreciate the excellent responses, as I don't visit much and thought I might get ridiculed for necro-posting. joequinn: If you believe that what you see is all you get, then you will concoct whatever explanations you can to explain away what you cannot perceive, much less accept. But none of the ex...

Good to hear Mr. Alper is doing well :) Or at least better than last time he was on. I wish Art had the interview but what can you do. When he first presented his ideas back in '98 he was met with quite a bit of hostility on the show; seems people are a bit more accepting of his ideas now than back ...

Tiffany, I agree with your first post in this thread; I feel exactly the same way. The edge of the seat shows just don't seem to happen any more. C2C seems like a Nightly World News show more than anything else, does George just read a newspaper into the mic? I've been listening to Art for about 7 y...

I would suggest that the ideas that Alper proposed were not his alone, i.e., not his original concept in a vacuum. I am sorry Alper is feeling ripped off. I agree that this is probably pretty common in science, but the other guy must have been able to substantiate the theory, versus just discussing...

Great to hear Mr. Alper, but sad to hear his state of mind

As a former fundamentalist baptist who constantly struggled with his faith, Matthew Alper's theories allowed me to find peace with my religious uncertainties. In 1998 on C2C, Alper was the first person I ever heard that provided a rational explanation for the existence of religion. I bought his book...

I tried to buy the old tapes, called the old number, sent emails to everyone I could think of - but no response. Premeire owns the rights to the old shows; I remember Art explaining that's why he could not include shows in his website archive. I think Premiere is trying to kill off the Art Bell fan ...
