I don't try to reconcile the two. While they share many similarities, they also directly contradict each other many times and I think to try to squeeze them into the same box is to cheapen both messages. I find both perspectives very interesting, thought-provoking and enjoyable to read, though in the end I don't practice 100% adherence to either. In this way, the contradictions don't bother me at all.
