I must understand that restricting my identity to being Marathi creates a conflict in my mind when it comes to judging humane and inhuman acts. A person committing inhuman acts; if is Marathi and a person serving mankind selflessly happens to be non-Marathi, whom should I identify myself with? Who should I consider as mine? Whom should I accept, love and respect? This holds true for other identities such as my family, nation, religion and so on; as well!

Part I of Zeitgeist the Movie, entitled The Greatest Story Ever Told, questions religions as being god-given stories, arguing that the Christian religion specifically is mainly derived from other religions, astronomical facts, astrological myths and traditions, which in turn were derived from or shared elements with others. In furtherance of the Jesus myth hypothesis, this part argues that the historical Jesus is a literary and astrological hybrid, nurtured politically in the interest of control. Horus, an ancient Egyptian Sky God (Referred to in the movie as a Sun God), is introduced as having a number of attributes similar to that of many of the religious deities which came after him, including but not limited to Attis, Krishna, Dionysus, Mithra and Jesus Christ; these attributes include a virgin birth on December 25, twelve disciples, burial for three days, resurrection, and the performing of miracles. Steve Gregg, Bible teacher from www.thenarrowpath.com easily refutes, these lies, myths and half-truths put forth by Peter Joseph and gives the true history.

Für das abendländische Publikum ist es eine unbekannte, rätselhafte und durch allerlei Fehlinformationen und effekthascherische Hollywood-Verwurstungen düstere Welt: die des Voodoo-Kults. Dabei handelt es sich bei Voodoo um keinen bösen Zauber, sondern um das Gegenteil: ein Heilmittel. Es sind Reinigungszeremonien, Initiationsriten, die Anrufung von Ahnen, Exorzismen und Orakelbefragungen. Der Glaube an die spirituellen Naturkräfte wacht als magisches Weltbild über soziale Normen und Moral, integriert, heilt, verbindet. Es ist eine für viele Strömungen offene Religion, die sich im steten Wandel befindet.

Auf der fünften Etappe ihrer Deutschland-Safari suchen Henryk M. Broder und Hamed Abdel Samad die Antwort auf die Frage aller Fragen: Wer ist Gott? Und was will er eigentlich von der Welt?
Gibt es eine Religion, die gut ist, oder kann nur frei sein, wer gottlos lebt? Henryk, Hamed und ihre ständige Begleiterin, die Foxterrier-Frau Wilma hoffen auf Erleuchtung und machen sich auf zu einer religiösen "Tour de Force". Mit von der Partie sind: ein Theologe und Psychiater, der eine Biografie über Gott geschrieben hat, ein katholischer Monsignore, der Autos segnet, ein Priester im "Tempel der Göttin der Liebe", ein Rabbiner, ein Imam und ein atheistischer Welterklärer samt Gefolgschaft. Wilma muss zu ihrem Unglück einen evangelischen Tiergottesdienst ertragen, und eine Burka-Trägerin feiert, im Herbst ihres Lebens, im Sündenpfuhl westlicher Dekadenz ihre neu gewonnene Weiblichkeit.
In Haiti hat der Voodoo-Kult Hochkonjunktur. Einst von afrikanischen Sklaven importiert, ist der Glaube an Geister in dem Inselstaat heute weit verbreitet und sogar staatlich als Religion anerkannt. Dabei schließen sich Voodoo und Katholizismus keineswegs aus: So glaubt ein Großteil der Haitianer zugleich an einen Schöpfergott und an Geister, die sogenannten Loa. Sie spielen eine zentrale Rolle in den Ritualen des Voodoo und sollen in der Lage sein, Menschen ihre Wünsche zu erfüllen. Um mit den Geistern in Kontakt zu treten, tanzen sich Anhänger des Voodoo-Kultes in Trance. Denn nur so können die Loa in den Körper der Sterblichen schlüpfen und sich ihnen mitteilen. Um die Geister und Ahnen milde zu stimmen, werden ihnen zudem Tieropfer dargebracht. Aber auch Alkohol und Tabak sollen ihre Wirkung tun. "Zombies - Die Wahrheit über die Untoten" zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie der Voodoo-Kult vielen Haitianern hilft, Hoffnung für den Alltag zu schöpfen. Außerdem geht die Dokumentation der Frage auf den Grund, ob Voodoo-Priester wirklich Menschen in "lebende Tote" verwandeln können, wie so mancher Zombiefilm uns glauben machen will.

Ishwar Allah Jesus Almighty etc etc , the gods have been tagged. Individual wild imaginations knows no bound in giving out theories after theory. None has seen , everyone seems to have felt , some even have hallucinated images in an unaware self hypnotic state. Sectorial Gods created by stupid humans are meant to protect a particular community or religion , seeming as though directives given by humans to God. Competition or supremacy the Gods too are in the race, Sounds too funny & too very stupid. Journey towards the truth if a long way to go, let imagination not rule over reality.....

'The Branding of Faith' Islam Christianity Judaism Religions Art by Rinaldo Frattolillo Fall 2010

About the art
This sculpture tries to point out the influence of religion and it's symbols.
The symbols of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism were all made the same size, and covered in caution tape to make all aware of their volatility to each other, and to the world. These symbols (of religions) have spilled the blood of millions in the name of god. How is this to be ever understood ?
Artist Statement
My work is about counterpointing a word, a thought or a material,
in order to visualize an idea. It becomes the process of how that
idea will be executed, and I select mediums that will work for the
visual requirement. I use any combination of elements, from bronze
to belgian linen, corrugated steel, photography, realism, acrylic, wood, plastic, barbed wire, glass, granite etc. My approach to art is to have you realize that what you thought you observed has somehow changed, and to have you rethink it...usually in an ironic, controversial, or amusing way...
Sam Dunn ist Anthropologe und hat gerade seine Arbeit ueber die schwierige Lage der Fluechtlinge aus Guatemala beendet. Nun hat er sich entschieden, die Notlage einer ganz anderen Kultur zu erforschen, der er selbst seit seiner Kindheit angehoert: die des Heavy Metal! Sam bricht zu einer weltweiten Reise auf, um den unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen, Einfluessen und Reaktionen dieser Musikrichtung auf den Grund zu gehen. Auf seinem Weg zu den berühmtesten Heavy-Metal-Bands der Welt, entdeckt er die vielschichtigsten Auspraegungen von Sex und Gewalt bis hin zu Besessenheit und Religion. Direkt vor Ort an Originalschauplätzen in England, Deutschland, Norwegen, Kanada und USA bebildert diese einmalige und auÃergewöhnliche Dokumentation des Phänomen über einen gleichermaÃen missverstandenen wie ebenso frenetisch umjubelten Musikstil.
The second reason ethnicity was ignored is because of the belief that the future success of newly independent African countries depended on their ability to promote a unifying nationalism that transcended ethnic differences (Schrader 139). Over half the people of Ethiopia belonged to the Christian State Church, Ethiopian Orthodox Church, whiled many others followed the Islamic faith. The educated elite served as the bearer of new ideas and suffered the brunt of new frustrations. Religion was a contributing factor to the conflict in Ethiopia. Education is the next leading factor in class structure and ethnicity. The divisions again resulted form the divers and highly antagonistic ethnic groups that coexisted for many years while engaged in periodic power struggles. Although education was oriented toward religious learning, the government established a more secular emphasis in order to achieve social mobility and national development. There was no other African country like Ethiopia, with its 2000-year-old institution of monarchy, semi-autonomous provincial nobility, and millions of downtrodden peasants. Also took part in the social struggles. The ethnic minorities first thought of their own ethnic identity and then of their national identity as Ethiopian and so forth. Gender roles were also an issue with regards to the class structure as well as ethnicity. Ethiopian women traditionally suffered soci-cultural and economic discrimination and had fewer opportunities compared to men in terms of economic growth, education, and employment (Ottaway, Maria and David; Ethiopian Empire in Revolution). The Marxist though that all capitalist societies could be divided into a property-owning class who dominated society and ********* property, and a lower working class who were forced to accept poor jobs and unsafe working conditions. The struggle was for the most part between the Amharas of Shoa, Wollo Gojjam, and Begmdir provinces. The most significant area of study is literature.
Part 3 of Ron Oberon, co-author âOur Earth and Beyondâ and âMany Planes Above,â discussing the content of books that were written through his sister, Jan Rosamond Adler, by the process of automatic writing from masters of history like Aristotle, Michelangelo, Mary Todd Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and many others. During this portion of eight hours of video which can be seen here and at www.ronsgiftofhealing.com, Ron Oberon talks families, sex, religion and future. The creation of these two books, âOur Earth And Beyond: A Message from the Universe to 21st Century Earth, Book Iâ and âMany Planes Above: A Connection to the Universe and Universal Knowledge, Book IIâ is almost as fascinating as the mind-shattering content brought forth by Jan Adler and Ron Oberon.

Recorded on October 12, Aleister Crowley's birthday, this episode of The Popular Podcast introduces a new perspective on the philosophies Jessica and I have been studying and disseminating since the spring. Our friend, Todd Barnard, sponsored this episode on Thelema in order that we shall take note that the religion has been in practice since the turn of the 20th century. We were so grateful to get to explore this concept as both of us were yearning for new perspectives on what we were learning.
Todd also asked us to discuss the tenants of Thelema in relationship to the predictability of the technological singularity. Todds hypothesis is that the singularity will be imminent when most people are already practicing the tenants of Thelema. We disagree.

Religion and the Sanctity of Life
What politicians on both sides of the debate generally fail to acknowledge is the religious nature of the conflict.
If one believes in an immortal soul that is implanted at the moment of conception, and if personhood is determined by the presence of that immortal soul, then there is little difference, in effect, between terminating a week-old pregnancy or killing a living, breathing person. Rational members of the pro-life movement do acknowledge that there is a difference in intent--abortion would be, at worst, involuntary manslaughter rather than murder--but the consequences, i.e. the death of a human person, are regarded by pro-lifers in much the same way.

Especially among Christians,there is so much emphasis placed on corporate worship that it is sometimes difficult to find a place for individual devotion. And then there is the person who takes "individual devotion" too far by fantasizing that they are actually worshipping The Divine on a golf course or a fishing trip!
A cynic or someone opposed to religion might make allegations that the purpose of corporate worship is to collect money and perhaps also to keep everyone under observation lest someone "stray." But no, corporate worship has its place, as I state in my statement of belief in the Eucharist of Communion we use in Mass For The Shut-Out. It has a proper place and a good purpose to fulfill.
And so what is the need for corporate worship? And what is needed the most?
Let's see and see them in perspective.

A look at the conflict between religion and science, with a report on the views of Fritjof Capra, a physicist and writer, who believes that progress in modern physics can lead man to great spiritual insights about the universe and man's place in it.
An episode in the English documentary series Everyman.
First published in 1975, The Tao of Physics rode the wave of fascination in exotic East Asian philosophies. Decades later, it still stands up to scrutiny, explicating not only Eastern philosophies but also how modern physics forces us into conceptions that have remarkable parallels. Covering over 3,000 years of widely divergent traditions across Asia, Capra can't help but blur lines in his generalizations. But the big picture is enough to see the value in them of experiential knowledge, the limits of objectivity, the absence of foundational matter, the interrelation of all things and events, and the fact that process is primary, not things.
Capra finds the same notions in modern physics. Those approaching Eastern thought from a background of Western science will find reliable introductions here to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism and learn how commonalities among these systems of thought can offer a sort of philosophical underpinning for modern science. And those approaching modern physics from a background in Eastern mysticism will find precise yet comprehensible descriptions of a Western science that may reinvigorate a hope in the positive potential of scientific knowledge. Whatever your background, The Tao of Physics is a brilliant essay on the meeting of East and West, and on the invaluable possibilities that such a union promises.

This book is a must read for anyone with an interest in history and religion. Learning about these new discoveries and the deceptions we have lived with for thousands of years will fascinate readers, and its conclusions are both important and long-awaited contributions to the existing literature on these subjects. Meticulously researched and highly readable, Ancient Voices is a thrilling, original work that will forever change how we view religion, our faith, and our future.
Let's take a look at one recurring theme in the story of religion, that being the things that can be done spiritually with bread and wine.
One I am sure you have heard of, but the Christian Communion/Mass has many predecessors, and predecessors by thousands of years. Passover begins by breaking bread and finishes with a cup of wine. But even before that there is the story of the patriarch Abram (who became Abraham) who led a military expedition to rescue his nephew Lot. When he returned in victory, he was met by a priest named Melchizidek who brrought bread and wine. Melchizidek was a priest in the manner of many priests today, that being that he was a priest who had a "day job" (as King of Salem).
Bread and wine can be used at many levels, including a version which many Wiccans enjoy.
And why not!
Blessed Be!
...and a human right! Over the years I have taken to great pains listening to people who insist that it is not natural for a person to experience love between the same sex. The arguments are basically that it is not NATURAL and they quote the holy Bible... Well... Natural? Homosexuality has existed since the Beginning of Time and will always be here till the END of Time - and who in their right mind can stand up and proclaim they live strictly by the Bible? Even in the world of nature we find homosexuality. We were put on this earth with love and care. I challenge every man and female who in the name of religion and love stresses the subject that love and marriage between two adult people is a sin, a crime or a sickness. We have murder, child abuse, adultery, liars and greed..... and many who has committed these sins quote the Bible and will cleanse the world for a better place.... As Jesus himself said when he rescued a prostitute from being stoned.... he said something to this effect: "The first one who is free of sin, throw the first stone...!" No one did and left the premises.... The song was recorded by Henning Sebastian Jahre on November 6, 2007.
The young girl in this video was sentenced to death by an ISLAMIC Court because she did not want to marry an old man the family arranged for her! This is NOT Al Qaeda or the Taliban, but MUSLIMS following SHARIA LAW! These are the same people who want to build a mosque across from Ground Zero, where they killed 3,000 on 9/11. And Obama is agreeing to this? Do we want this type of barbaric religion in OUR country?! Tell me again why we can't call them MUSLIM or ISLAMIC terrorists.......How about MUSLIM animals?.......Where are all the Left Wing Liberal Women's Groups now?.....God Help Us (The Real God)!
