You've got it all wrong: to Nietzsche and some of his later disciples, Paul was the ultimate Jew. Paul, with his "transvaluation of all values," in other words, outdid the Jews. Some years later, to Nietzsche's charge of “rabbinical impudence” against St. Paul, General Ludendorff, probably a...

Apparently. Let’s hope not. I am somewhat reassured to hear that there are laws on the books which will not be enacted. Wrote Maimonides: “Moses our Teacher was commanded by God to compel all human beings to accept the commandments enjoined upon the descendants of Noah. Anyone who does not...

Hi Radarmark, I haven't read RAW, but, as I see it, and quite apart from the Christian Zionista interpretations (which usually stop considerably short of including the Jewish aspects of the Conspiracy, despite Pat Robertson's citations of Eustace Mullins), anyone who dismisses or altogether...

Dear Saltmeister, Concerning that latter point (#5), ouch! May it not be so! :)

Hi bananabrain, *BUZZ* lack of subtlety alert! I was continuing my attempt to be funny and I would still argue that, as Jesus was, or became, the first Christian, so could he have eaten the “leaven of the Pharisees” (against which he reportedly warned), the “traditions of men” which were...

Thank you, donnann.

Hi Radarmark, I am pleased to at least momentarily entice you from your self-imposed exile. I thought talk of Illuminati might fire you up and get you out of your penitence cloaks and into other threads. It gets dodgy, to be sure, but, as I see it, and quite independently of the...

Yes, undoubtedly, to both charges. The bad news is that my (mild-case of) OCD is evidently out of control; the good news is that I tend to pedantically tweak only upon my own posts. By the way, spot on to the Illuminati stuff, if I may say so. I hope, at some point, to be able to discuss the...

There is, I agree, a mysterium tremendum concerning the mystical bride of Christ. Quite what that mystery is, I do not know. Nevertheless, I am not being a smart-alec by saying that, for contemplative purposes, I sometimes consider this one, from the Song of Solomon (6:8), because, queens and...

Here's a catchy, grass-smokin' (blue grass, that is, and banjoed) version of Neil Young's "For the Turnstiles" by The Be Good Tanyas. Dig it (and Frazey Ford) =======>right here

Eddie Vedder =====> Hard Sun.

Corrigendum: (in which Servie, publicly losing control of his OCD, shamelessly tweaks on the details) Aargh! That should be United States, of course. That should be whither - whither is fled. If I am going to quote the good Wordsworth, I should spell him correctly and not rely upon my...

Hi Bananabrain, Nor am I, but, on my days off, I do enjoy scrounging through the odd dust-bin (or, if in search of a good Bordeaux, the dusty Oddbins) of history now and then. Best regards, Serv

Hi bananabrain, To say nothing, in this case, of his (Graetz's) flawed editors and publisher, George Dobsavage and the Jewish Publication Society. Serv

Hi Ben, Apparently, you missed the bit where the tourist brochure provides the scripture which gave the Jews buried on the Mount of Olives the strange, inexplicable, indefensible, absurd, fantastical, fabulous and ridiculous notion that they would be resurrected at the time of their...

Addendum: Source: “Theological dissent, in and of itself, did not, however, [at Spinoza’s time] call down upon the dissenter the wrath of the organized [Jewish] community. Acosta was only one among a considerable group in the Jewish community who denied the soul’s immortality. These skeptics...

Tell that to the notorious "moron" Nietzsche. He, a master of philology, said that Paul wrote with a "rabbinical impudence" which distinguished him in all things. That was said in a book you ought to applaud: The Antichrist.

The only verbal juggling is between you and the tourist brochure. It clearly refers to the belief among Jews in resurrection at the time of the Messiah. If you cannot read that for what it is, then so be it. I think this has been said, but those who have historically denied the soul's...

Hi Ben, Aye, there's the rub. Is one to conclude that Christianity, to appease you and your group of interfaith scholars, should either cease to exist or rewrite its scriptures (or some other option)? At any rate, and by way of contrast, it might be worth noting that, according to National...

Hi Salishan, Primarily, through (imperfect) memory. I remember being born. Thus, Gyd –in this case, the descent of the spirit into matter- is to me the ultimate and indisputable reality. “I was cast upon Thee from my mother’s womb.” I also learn through signs and symbols. For...
