FAVORITE QUOTATIONS:

"Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."

"Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard."

(The brilliant Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson in the 1943 case West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette.)


"When any opinion leads us into absurdities, it is certainly false...."

(David Hume in "A Treatise of Human Nature")


"Oh Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool!"

(Anne Baxter in "The Ten Commandments")

Professor,
Can you please explain, in your opinion, from where do humans have the concept of good and evil? In terms of evolution, both good and evil acts can be advantageous to an organism depending on the circumstances. Why then should kindness/goodness be admired and wickedness be reprimanded?

ProfMTH, What do you think about Buddhism influencing Christianity? Is it a valid claim? Buddhism came about 500 years before the Apostolic Age and the trade routes would have had Buddhist missionaries in the ME and Greece. Valid links between the teachings and life of Buddha and Jesus? Buddhist monasticism/asceticism and Christianities?? Wanted to know your thoughts.

BUSTERGGI1: Perhaps it is the concept about Original Sin that is the problem. The Orthodox Church does not accept the doctrine, and it is the oldest Christian body. The story of the fall is a revelation that the problems of mankind are based in egoism, self-centredness and self-love, and that the solution begins with unselfish love. That, too, is why marriage is so highly valued; because it can be a means of developing a real unselfish love (not the only one, but certainly one of the most effective).

I have a simple question for you, Prof: does Jeremiah agree with Moses about the sacrifice of animals???? Just wondered what your opinion might be. Also, would appreciate your comments on Deep Structural Fear, which I am spending a certain amount of time on. Will have symposium on the subject in December.

Excuse my english. My writing is not very good.

Elohim means gods right. You said; i dont remember when, it was a topic for another video.

The greatest problem the nuanced Christians have is that if the Adam & Eve story isn't literal then there is no original sin or a need for Jesus.

The greatest problem literalist Christians have is that their god is a psychotic prick.
