  • A Time for Heresy
    29 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Bill Moyers
    Bill Moyers is President of the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy. This is the prepared text of his remarks delivered on March 14 upon the establishment by Marilyn and James Dunn, of the Wake Forest Divinity School, of a scholarship in religious freedom in the name of Judith and Bill Moyers.
    When Dean Bill Leonard asked James Dunn to join him here at Wake Forest’s new Divinity School, my soul shouted “Yes!” These two men personify the honesty and courage we need to (…)

    The Truth is Out There
    By M. Sabeheddin
    "Ignorance...brought about anguish and terror. And the anguish grew solid like a fog and no one was able to see." The Gospel of Truth, 17:10, Nag Hammadi Texts
    "Humanity is asleep, concerned only with what is useless, living in a wrong world....Do not prattle before the People of the Path, rather consume yourself. You have an inverted knowledge and religion if you are upside down in relation to Reality. Man is wrapping his net around himself. A (…)

  • United States Must Address Control of its Middle East Policies by Israeli Lobby
    28 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Paul Findley
    Because of the gross, longstanding bias in U.S. policy in the Middle East, the world teeters on the precipice of widening conflict focused on religion— sadly, unnecessarily, dangerously. Christendom versus Islam.
    Despite the efforts of many brave people to bring about just reform, the bias continues-more flagrant and costly each year. America ignores this injustice because misdirected, religion-based passions at home override even vital national interests.
    Our bias is (…)

    Can We Talk?
    By Peter Fredson
    March 26, 2006
    The other day I wrote a blog on “Reassessing George W. Bush.” And I received a serious comment from a Bush supporter.
    Usually the comments are vituperation, insults, invitations to accept Jesus, fervent declarations of Christian Love, simple denials implying my brain is missing, long dissertations on religious beliefs, inarticulate defense of Bush actions, indignation at my “treasonous” criticism, or assertions that I am helping the (…)

    Secret Societies & Occult Politics Dream of the Sages
    By Robert Richardson
    To students of history, religion, or the occult, a pattern of individual names and esoteric movements appears on the canvas of time like a sudden flash of light, then just as quickly vanishes. A group of disparate people - sometimes famous, sometimes obscure, sometimes solitary, sometimes united, but always engaged in some amorphous activity - spontaneously surfaces. Just as suddenly their traces evaporate, (…)

  • In The Name of God by Anwaar Hussain
    23 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    In a screaming instance of a heart rending paradox in the Muslim world, an Afghan convert to Christianity is to be tried in a Kabul court for apostasy, a ’crime’ that is punishable by death in that country. Despite clear injunctions in the Quran that "there is no compulsion in religion" and "to you your own religion and to me, mine", an innocent man may be executed while we stand by and watch this gruesome charade in the name of God. The Muslim moderates, of course, continue to remain (…)

  • God Forgive America
    23 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    8 comments

    Instead of “God Bless America,” we should put “God Forgive America” bumperstickers on our cars. Americans, as participants in horrendous war crimes, should ask for forgiveness. America is a killer nation-not only do we kill Iraqis and Afghans, but we are in the process of killing ourselves.
