As to Bailie, pages 17-19 of <i>God's Gamble</i> seem fitting:<br /><br /><i>"The worshiper experiences the god most powerfully," writes Walter Burkert, "in the deadly blow of the axe, the gush of blood." The gods, from all appearances, demanded blood. Ritual sacrifice was clearly how the world worked.</i>juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-63522169461352102082016-12-28T07:28:42.627-08:002016-12-28T07:28:42.627-08:00Recommended: interview with Leonard Cohen from wh...Recommended: interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nky_3iwJxic&t=2850s" rel="nofollow">Leonard Cohen</a> from when he lived in a Buddhist monastery. He's like some kind of Zen Rabbi -- always thoughtful answers, and incapable of speaking in cliches. I started with that one, but there are many other interesting interviews. I love the relaxed pace of his mind -- seems to come from a very deep and elemental place.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-78750595266530501152016-12-28T06:59:35.080-08:002016-12-28T06:59:35.080-08:00I wonder what Bailie would say about this perverse...I wonder what Bailie would say about <a href="http://events.tbo.com/news/military/war/qa-pasco-psychologist-behind-waterboarding-calls-for-soul-searching-on/2307482" rel="nofollow">this</a> perverse combination of sadism and intimacy:<br /><br />KSM beheaded Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl in 2002. What did he say about that?<br /><br />He described cutting Daniel Pearl's head off and dismembering him and then burying him in a hole that's not much bigger than a post hole... The thing that made it creepy is that it was <b>one of the ways these Islamists show they love their God and how powerful their God is by killing people who are helpless to stop it... </b> Well, that's the way that KSM was talking about killing Daniel Pearl... And he would call him Daniel like they were intimate. Not like they were lovers, <b>but like they shared an intimate moment.</b><br /><br />Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-55831189821830488922016-12-27T16:31:40.094-08:002016-12-27T16:31:40.094-08:00Sent where?

And fewer still, upon discovering that it is so, can bear the ordinary goodness of it.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
