A place to read and write about God(s), religion(s) and similar obscure entities. |
“But most people believe in God…” – You’ve probably heard this winning argument in one of your endless discussions with some religious preacher. The calculation done by our partner to the discussion is pretty obvious: Let’s take the number of Christians in the world (say about 2 billion) together with the number of world’s Muslims […]
A new virus is always a great joy for religious preachers, who perceive our world as run by some kind of mysterious mechanism that keeps them in the center of things. Indeed some of our local Jewish preachers (as I’m sure also their competition worldwide) have already expressed their opinions on this matter. One talented […]
The Jewish Holocaust – known also as the Shoah – poses a real challenge to the religious believers. They are generally brought up to believe that there is an almighty God who manages a system of reward and punishment. Furthermore, all kinds of disasters are often explained by misbehaving according to the religious rules. So […]
One of my “hobbies”, sort of speak, is to find funny contradictions or conclusions from the Scriptures. Some of them are quite obvious to find, such as the in the differences between the first two chapters of Genesis. Others are hidden somewhere and require comparing some pieces of text that are not necessarily adjacent. Rest […]
This question has bothered me for a long time. It still does. I watch TV and see some local religious preacher talks about, say, evolution. He (it’s almost always a “he”) enthusiastically explains how humans differ from all animals and not associated with them. Some other time he explains about the “history” of the great […]
Israel won the 2018 Eurovision song contest. Great! This means that next year (2019) – the contest is due to take place in the Holy Land. It’s a big opportunity for income and public relations. For many it’s also a good opportunity to strengthen the status of Jerusalem, or at least its sectors that are […]
The Israeli ‘Games of Chef’ TV series has a history of picking “interesting” candidates for the competition. The last program (May 22, 2018) presented, among others, two men: Tamir, a person who recently became ultra-Orthodox, and, Leizer, who has left the “Haredi” (ultra-Orthodox) world and became secular. The two were preparing their dishes at the […]
How do you know when modern law is influenced by old archaic religious rules? At least one of the criteria is when it becomes too “recursive” – when it starts heavily dealing with itself. Laws about the law. Ancient legislators were well-aware of the fact that things may change in the future. Anxious to preserve […]
Many of Israel’s officials have condemned Poland’s recent legislation and announcements about denying Poland’s part in the Holocaust, and rightfully so. It’s bad to twist history to suit one’s agenda. It’s even worse when performed by official representatives of a big country. Not only have they condemned the actions, but they have also mentioned the […]
Many of my arguments with others about “God” (or gods in general) stumble sooner or later upon the issue of an “incomprehensible entity”. This phase of the argument may have several flavors. Sometimes, the mythological god is described as an entity we cannot see and feel. Other times it is portrayed as something that is […]
