After having submitted it here, I published my essay on my web site, then submitted it to reddit (on r/religion and on r/atheism respectively). While I was very pleased by Less Wrong (your feedback were quite informative), reddit was quite… disappointing.
On r/atheism, my essay was ignored into oblivion in less than an hour. I guess there’s just too much activity there, and I got lost in the flood. There’s one comment though, which lead me to seriously question my use of the word “universal”. I feel that “truth is universal”, though accurate, doesn’t sound obvious enough. And I’d like to avoid this heavy dependency.
On r/religion, my essay is still in the front page. There are a few votes (5 ups besides my own, and 2 or 3 downs). No comments at all. I guess there’s too little activity here.
Overall, I’m now confident this essay is now good enough for my family to read.
