Philosopher Deepak Chopra and Bishop Carlton Pearson face-off against Pastor Mark Driscoll of the Mars Hill Church and Annie Lobert, founder of the Christian ministry "Hookers for Jesus" about the existence of the Devil.
We are essentially witnessing here a battle between a pre-modern mythic worldview and more modern/postmodern worldviews based in rational spirituality. Chopra is the most "spiritual" of the panelists, but he fails to really address the problem of the pre-modern worldview being espoused by the fundamentalists on the panel.

This is a terrific debate, especially in the way it contrasts different developmental positions and how the contrast and yet can co-exist. I may use this for future teaching purposes. Much thanks for making me aware. Yours, Mark Forman
