First, this blog replaces my previous blog, thecosmoplitanlawyerblogspot.com . Second, unlike that earlier blog, the present one is primarily meant as a record of my readings. It is not meant to suggest that others will be or should be interested in what I read. And third, in a sense, it is a public diary of one who is an alien in his own American culture. A person who feels at home just about anywhere, except in his birthplace . . . America.

Tim Crane, The Meaning of Belief: Religion from an Atheist's Point of View (Cambridge, Massachusetts, & London, England: Harvard U.

Id. at 3).
