Arrested Pulse

"...thanks to a Christian Church he never intended to establish, being a full-fledged Jew."
I know that this is not central to your position, but such a claim demands rebuttal. Either you are being (understandably)disingenuous or are breathtakingly ignorant on this subject. I encourage you to closely evaluate what you have said here. It sounds like you have either adopted this from a tawdry junkfood magazine without reflection or drawn this conclusion based on a myopic understanding of religious history. This may be insightful. Judaism and Christianity were one and the same, both following the one true God. Then a split. Jews rejected Christ and the shift from Old Testament law to New Testament grace. So, whether He is accepted as Deity or not, Christ spread precisely the message that he intended to. The recorded secular body of his views(Josephus) is clearly anathema to parts of Judaism. Christ was rather critical of the Jewish leadership(Pharisees). In fact, the legitimacy of current Judaism rests on the fact that Christ was fraudulent. It cannot be said that the result of Christ's panoply of doctrine that rejects Judaism was an unintended consequence. I don't intend to attack, but enlighten. It seems that you are a reflective individual, so I hope you'll consider this objection critically.

YES!-Deep Ecology should be our starting point, it is our real economy, our support system, our home.

Nice work!!! It helped me to answer some questions in biology that I could not on my own!! I especially love the scriptural reference from Genesis 9. Keep up the good work!! Blessings

Great stuff- thought provoking. I have written some words around the 8 principles of deep ecology.

I would argue that the impulse to mythologize and ritualize is inherent to being human. It only becomes problematic when it becomes dogmatic and oppressive in nature.

Just my two cents... I enjoyed your work.

nice work, brother

Social ecology - with its emphasis on power and culture - could clarify the importance of Gaia philosophy as a unifying truth. Taking the ego out of the picture always helps.
