In reading this and then Jim Palmer's The Religion of the Future, here is what stood out for me. These are companion pieces in many ways. Jim quotes Brazilian philosopher Roberto Unger, who said: "The most important thing about us is that we are not fully determined by the worlds we inhabit.” This sounds very much like your focus on the founder's statement of "a more perfect union." Jim goes on: "Human beings are not simply products of the worlds they inherit. They remain capable of transcending, revising, and remaking the structures that shape them." Both you and Jim orient us to the truth of human possibility, both for creation and destruction.

As I said on another piece you wrote on a similar theme, life is meaningful because we can make mistakes.
