    Burning books and effigies - What the hell is wrong with these people (all of 'em)?

    Apparantly, Fred Phelp's Westboro Baptist "Church" is now planning going to burn the Koran, if the other Church calls it off: I'm not too surprised, and, they have, apparantly, burned it before in Washington, where they were ignored (apparatly, they were ****** off with Jones getting all...

    Converts to Judaism

    I'm similar to sunsplash, because I feel pulled to Judaism, but, I can't really explain why. I like what I've read so far about Judaism and am enjoying learning more.

    Issues surrounding Islam and Judaism

    I haven't watched it all yet, and, I'm open to being corrected if any Jews here think I'm wrong, but, I'm not really sure about what the guy says at the beginning of the video, like, about how Islam is the one and only religion Judaism accepts, that the mission of the Jews is to spread the...

    Thanks very much, some of the information that I glanced at seemed a bit...wierd, but, I wasn't really sure what to make of him. Thanks again, I'll definitely keep a lot of salt handy :).

    Faith and Creationism vs. Atheism and Evolution

    Interesting video, thanks for posting it. Personally, I don't think there's any conflict with believing in Evolution, and God (or whatever someone's term for the Divine is). I never really heard of the idea of Intelligent Design or anti-evolutionists, till I was about 17 or 18, and even then...

    Gay Jews and being fruitful?

    I was wondering, I've read that in Judaism, family, and having children, are considered very important, and/or Divine commandments, but, how does the commandment to be fruitful and multiply affect LGBT Jews?, I know some of the more Orthodox might believe gay Jews shouldn't engage in same-sex...

    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on Evil

    I know, I like the videos I've seen of him so far, and I'd really like to read 'The Dignity of Difference', that sounds a really great book, IMO.

    god and human rights, are they compatible?

    I'll try and dig the titles out for you then :). He said it for an advert for a recent documentary he did for Channel 4 (one of the main TV channels over here) called 'The God Delusion', I never saw the programme, but, he did say it in an advert (BTW, I'm not knocking Dawkins, I think he is a...

    Burning books and effigies - What the hell is wrong with these people (all of 'em)?

    I don't understand their mentality, I mean, burning the Koran is just going to play right into the extremist Muslims' hand - they can't point to the intolerance of some Westerners, and, may get more support, it will also damage America's reputation in Afghanistan, and other places...

    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on Evil

    I thought this was the more appropriate place for this, but, please feel free to move it, if it should be elsewhere :). Anyway, I've just been listening to some of Rabbi Sacks' videos on Youtube, and quite liked them, I especially found this one, where he explains evil, God, and Judaism, I...

    Does neo-paganism have anything to do with paganism?

    I'd disagree with that, there are written records on the religions of ancient Greece, Rome, etc, and books have been written by many scholars and historians on the religious practices of those cultures.

    god and human rights, are they compatible?

    Religion and Human Rights are compatible (I've just recently graduated in Human Rights, so, I've done various things on this). Many Humn Right abuses have been carried out in the name of religion, or God (or Gods), but, many religious people have used their religion and God(s) to promote Human...

    Masterbation?

    I think this is a good article on masturbation and Judaism: Pleasure Activism Australia - Kabbalah and Sex, part 2 Especially this quote: The guy who wrote the article, Jacobus Swart is an Orthodox Jewish Kabbalist (I'm on his Kabbalah Yahoo group, and he definitely has studied a lot, and...
