A place to read and write about God(s), religion(s) and similar obscure entities. |
This week Israel lost one of its leading singers and actors – the late Arik Einstein. Apart from being extremely talented, Mr. Einstein – especially in his recent years – was almost the embodiment of “religious morality”: He was known for his modesty, his avoidance of big money, his pleasant attitude toward everyone else, and […]
This morning I watched the Israeli Channel 2 morning program. The interview that caught my attention hosted two known figures, Dov Halbertal and Emily Amrusi, allegedly representing “left” and “right”, eagerly discussing “from both sides of the fence” the future of the Jewish nation and the State of Israel. Two people who believe that some […]

In many cases, this phrase is used innocently, replacing future tense by past tense: Instead of asking: ‘What will […]

Proof: Part 1 – Some definitions and basic conclusions Rene Descartes‘ idea of our entire world being no more than something […]

“In India, as elsewhere in our darkening world, religion is the poison in the blood. Where religion intervenes, mere innocence is no excuse. Yet we go on skating around this issue, speaking of religion in the fashionable language of ‘respect’.” — Salman Rushdie In took the Unites States ten years or more to settle the […]
