    Math = White Privilege?

    As a retired scientist, mathematician and educator I would differ. Young people seldom are taught about the mathematical, scientific and technological accomplishments of such peoples as the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Chinese, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Aztecs, the Mayans and the Incas.

    Arminius wrote --- "Jesus' blood sacrifice and substitutionary atonement are Pauline doctrines. They are part of Pauline Christianity; they have little or nothing to do with Jesus' teachings.

    Robert G. Ingersoll wrote --- "If abuses are destroyed, man must destroy them. If slaves are freed, man must free them. If new truths are discovered, man must discover them.

    Halloween: Fave Candy!

    My favourite at Halloween is a good single malt scotch. This honours the Celtic origins of the day.

    The shortest summary of the bible ever.

    Rabbi Hillel: 'That which is hateful to you, do not do to another. That is the whole Law. The rest is commentary. Now go and learn.' Not as concise but far more meaningful.

    Humor in the bible?

    Matthew 5:39 --- “But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” --- In an honour/shame, domination/submission culture such as existed in the first century in the Middle East, this saying has a far different meaning than a...

    I find it incomprehensible that so many Christians ignored their own moral values to vote for that man.

    Modern or ancient, every culture operates within a certain cosmology or understanding of the universe.

    What customs in other countries are odd to you?

    I was part of a group of Christians visiting a Hindu temple to observe their service. Culture shock describes it well. What I found most annoying was the constant ringing of small bells. This was believed to ward off demons or evil spirits. Lest we mock this, we should realize that in medieval...

    The Book of Revelation: Four "takes"

    I would go with the "idealist" point of view. While Revelation may be of interest to the scholar, I do not think it holds much, if any, relevance to Christians today. It would seem that John of Patmos was a very bitter man who might actually have been psychotic.
