Thomas, you didn't respond to what I stated, only to the article I presented as an example of of Jewish pan/panentheism with more subjectivity than many other views. I was responding to your statements that pantheism and panentheism " indicate an inability or failure to apprecaite the depth of...

I don't really see panentheism as lacking in subjectivity, at least not when it's found in Judaism. If anything, the more pantheistic/panentheistic, the seemingly more comfortable the material can become with a lot of anthropomorphic language. Jay Michaelson discusses that a bit in an article on...

I'm not sure it's a word that could be directly translated. Chaver is friend.

I saw a post about that in my RSS feed a few days back: Shanah tovah, matey! | Jewschool

Wanted to offer a couple more thoughts: I don't think you could effectively deconstruct and reconstruct the high holidays without addressing what's being communicated by the idea of kingship. If you consult Recon machzorim you'll find that they preserve the language of kingship on the high...

Yeah there were a couple points where I felt they didn't give the audience enough credit though, like the whole biracial thing. Toward the end you have that guy calling him a halfbreed or something. Seemed totally unnecessary. By that time in the film people are either gonna get it or they...

Taste Test - by the editors > Tablet Magazine - A New Read on Jewish Life L'shana tova everybody!

I wasn't, but I knew it was an apartheid film before I got into it. A lot of people have been talking about that but the thing I enjoyed the most is the pure artistry. I felt so much empathy for insectoid aliens. And can you imagine the pitch on this film?

I saw District Nine. It was awesome.

What is this oogie?

Hey wil! The title of your new thread sounds like it'd work well as the name of a low-budget film in a particular genre. Nudge nudge. Wink wink.

Okay, but why does that allow you to write it off? That doesn't really answer my question. What's your belief that the idea of a non-anthropomorphic, non-corporeal God is one of the most important in Judaism got to do with what an historical Abraham actually believed and how does that belief...

You are correct, sir!

I agree with Wil and at the same time I could see how that might be the case for pantheism but not for panentheism. Where your beliefs, as far as I've seen you share, are based primarily on reason I can see how there is the possibility you're trying to reason yourself into an acceptable belief...

... ... ... That was a bit harsh, don't you think? :/ *limps away, defeated*

c0de, I think you are overreacting terribly. This is Brian's site and he acted in what he believed were its best interests. If he made a mistake, it's one that I know he would have gladly reevaluated if you approached him with a little less arrogance. This isn't a debate and you are not on...

You rapscallion! You knave! Why, I shall barb you with witty remarks like a, er, a um, a barbed wire lash, yes. That sounds quite reasonable. Ha ha! I say sir, I heard from a young lady at market that your refrigerator is running. Perhaps it would be wise for you to go and catch it. Because...

I accept your choice of weapon! May the best man win, sir!
