Dear Interfaith Friends, There comes a time in the life of every interfaith poster when change is at hand, and that time, for me, is now. I can’t say it hasn’t been interesting. It hasn’t always been fun. The debates about Theosophy were sometimes contentious. But I learned a lot from those...

I have become more interested in learning about ethics and morality and thought it might be fun to post some quotes from Pirke Avot. It turns out that this section of the Talmud, which deals with ethical and moral principles, contains no halacha (Jewish religious law). Unfortunately, I...

The wiki entry on I Ching says it is important for both its philosophy as well as being an oracle. Here is the section on philosophy: This section seems to indicate as a philiosophy it is most relevent to metaphysics, ethics and cosmogony, does everyone agree those are its most important...

Does Theosophy have an emphasis on racial differences ? Does Theosophy examine racial issues in an objective, scientific manner ? Lets take a look at some of Nick's and Bruce's posts in the Esoteric sub-forum: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<===============...

Hi guys, I thought since T@0 is not here to defend the atheist position, it would be fun to write some criticism of atheism and see if anyone else tries to defend it. You might wonder why I am putting this in the Christian section ? I also thought it would be interesting to read a little...

What is "Post Denominationalism" ? BB, used this expresssion on a parallel thread: <======================= http://www.interfaith.org/forum/reform-10886-9.html#post218884 I think this is a newly emerging movement within Judaism. I know congregations are starting what are "Trans...

There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: 1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction; 2) cowardice, which leads to capture; 3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; 4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; 5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes...

Hohoho, Ludvig would be proud of getting the special consideration :D !! How many points should I try for ?? :D Is this a serious infarction ? :D:D If not, when does it expire, never ?? :D

I did not want to bring up an issue, which might be seen as tangential, in the Christian sub-forum. Since I am Jewish and my observations may not be relevent in that context. But in the B&S forum, I would like to know if many here believe that: "This place is dangerous for trying to find the...

I could post this in the Tao sub-forum, but I do not think there are any Taoists, please correct me if I am wrong. Anyone read "Tao of Leadership" ? If so, any thoughts about it ? Any thoughts on the Buddhist perspective on leadership ? What are the criteria for excellent leaders ?

Anyone know if there is a good internet forum related to leadership ? A related issue which motivates this question is I am re-reading the "Tao of Leadership", and would like to know if anyone can recommend other books on the topic of leadership ? Mods - you can move this to Media or other...

What is pantheism and panentheism, and....... are Wil, Brian and Poo the only believers in it ?

Postermaster's comment in the Judaism forum about Jesus made me think about posting here about Moses and Egypt. As I said in the other thread, I have asked several of my Egyptian friends about Moses and his escape from Egypt. Apparently this topic is absent in Egyptian students education...

I am going to post a couple of resources, then I am going to make some comparisons between Renewal and Reconstructionism. I have started becoming interested in Recon. because it seems to be further on the rationalist spectrum than Renewal. I particularly like their idea about "Chosenness"...

I am a little surprised that the Theosophy thread was locked down and more surprised by the reasons given. First of all, I could understand locking all threads on Theosophy, because this is a religious philosophy based on racial superiority. But this was not the reason given for lock down...

Dauer, do you believe that G-d literally held the mountain over the heads of the Jews ? Or is it a metaphor, allegory or allusion ?

Has anyone heard of: J, E, D, P ? :) Reference: "Who Wrote the Bible ?", Richard Elliott Friedman, HarperOne, 1997. P.S. - Does this mean the Bible was not written by G-d :eek: ?? Oh my G-d, is that a scary thought ! :)

I noticed the question of Israel thread is closed, but I copied this short quote from BB, because I think it opens the very interesting topic of differences in perspective between Europeans and Americans about Israel. I do not have time to elaborate now, but I think questions about Zionism...
