Hmmm...I'll have to look into this further. I am currently going through her "To Ride a Silver Broomstick" and do not find any bias at all, personally. However, I have not done in depth research on her. I think the above quote is likely somewhat out of context. I'm guessing the meaning is, those suffering the "tragedies" are those not set fully in any religious or belief path, but have the illusion that they are. Finding your path does give some degree of a buffer, a cushion. Those without are likely more prone to stress and reaction without realizing it. Those who believe "in name" and not "in practice". I know for one finding this path has helped me feel more stable and helps me deal with stress.
