    A question regarding Kosher / Kashrut

    It has long been a matter of curiosity to me...are horses, dogs and cats Kosher? If horses are not Kosher, why/how was Solomon able to build the stables for a cavalry? (This not so long after building the Temple...) I'm not sure if the Jewish peoples have a history with dogs and cats, but...

    It is not for us to question G!d's intent, but...

    It is not for us to question G!d's intent, or plans if you will. But to better understand what makes Him tick, I think He actually enjoys letting a genuine seeker sneak a peek behind the curtain from time to time. In other words, it is not my place to tell G!d He is wrong, that things should be...

    Is Thomas OK?

    I've discovered I am unable to initiate a private message with any of the mods. Not sure what's up with that, but my purpose was to ask if Thomas is alright. I see he hasn't been around for a bit, and I know he has some issues he is dealing with. I want to assure him of my concern and...

    The Wilderness

    A rather important part of the Bible story that relates to Christians, but relates more to Judaism, is the story of the Wilderness and the cusp where Israel came out of the desert into the Promised Land. Anybody with American TV has seen the old Charleton Heston movie, which for the medium is a...

    Morton's Demon

    I learned recently that a favorite scholar passed away: I've quoted Mr Morton on more than one occasion, even many years ago here on this site. He was able to bring both science and faith together in a way that made sense. I didn't agree with everything, but I can say without reservation he...

    Pope Francis reverses Benedict

    Pope Francis reverses Benedict, reimposes restrictions on Latin Mass | Fox News Frankly the details are lost on me, something to do with the Latin Liturgy. Apparently in the Catholic world it is a big, newsworthy deal.

    What is something you admire or appreciate?

    Since the title can only be so long...the question that crossed my mind is: "What is something you admire or appreciate in some faith other than your own?" One that has made what I feel is a profound impact on me, is the teaching supposedly from Buddhism about "menus and meals" and "fingers...

    I hope it is just me

    Why are we religious, if there is nothing there?

    What I find intriguing is the beginning of religion...why have humans ever even bothered to develop such a comprehensive system of recognizing the Divine? If, as atheists argue, there is no god, then why did prehistoric humanity universally pursue reconnection with the Divine? Not just Cro...
