Have you ever looked at how many of our elected people have dual citizenship with Israel?

There's a whole swath of society, mild Christians, etcetera, that don't ever get any notice, but it doesnt mean it doesn't exist

Shhh! Try not to be noticed. "The meek shall inherit the earth." But ya gotta keep your head down.

I read Zen and the Birds of Appetite many years ago. The only part I remember is why Thomas Merton chose the title.

"Zen enriches no one," Thomas Merton provocatively writes in his opening statement to Zen and the Birds of Appetite--one of the last books to be published before his death in 1968.

"There is no body to be found. The birds may come and circle for a while... but they soon go elsewhere. When they are gone, the 'nothing,' the 'no-body' that was there, suddenly appears. That is Zen. It was there all the time but the scavengers missed it, because it was not their kind of prey."

This gets at the humor, paradox, and joy that one feels in Merton's discoveries of Zen during the last years of his life, a joy very much present in this collection of essays. Exploring the relationship between Christianity and Zen, especially through his dialogue with the great Zen teacher D.T. Suzuki, the book makes an excellent introduction to a comparative study of these two traditions, as well as giving the reader a strong taste of the mature Merton. Never does one feel him losing his own faith in these pages; rather one feels that faith getting deeply clarified and affirmed. Just as the body of "Zen" cannot be found by the scavengers, so too, Merton suggests, with the eternal truth of Christ.

After all the "Alpha Male big dogs" rip each other apart, and the scavengers pick at the scraps, there may be a World left for the rest. Maybe.

Um mods, with due respect, i was actually doing the opposite of political baiting. Now people can't see my rather centrist post which was actually telling both sides that either side was extreme. I wouldn't mind if you booted me from this place, but not over simply voicing an opinion. I also called out a poster for dog whistling, and neither called names nor used harsh words. I think you happen to be wrong.

Actually , it is rapidly turning to the Middle East and China...

"Now comes the Jew hate."

Who said they hated jews?

I read through the thread, and cant find anyone saying that.

This is the same kind of response I see from people who decry black people for using food stamps.

a reply to: projectvxn

Okay.
I was a mighty fine archer in the 70s & 80s. Now I'm not.
I used to be obsessed with winning. Now I'm not.
Oh well.

On topic. Yair Netanyahu is an Israeli; says so on his facebook.

Ok. Have a good night or morning wherever you are.

But we all do, have one "specific piece of land". England comes to mind, Italy, ...all got their own brand of faith, some more some less. Very territorial . Mormons send out missionaries, all American churches try to spread the word one way or another. Not all, but ... also an example for a story about faith and territory.
If the culture of the Vatican would be catholic none of the Italians would be considered to be, they have their tiny, old local saints a lot and spend a lot of time praying to them.
Anyhoo...
State Religion is not just what you write on a questionnaire. Most of the time so far it mattered. If that has suddenly changed and nobody cares anymore..? Maybe. But would you count on that?

Unless such ovens can cremate more then 3 bodies per hour...I don't think Zionists will be interested in them.

They're in Israel.

Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $127.4 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance.
...
The terms of the 2019-2028 MOU differ from previous U.S.-Israel aid agreements. For example, under the terms of the new MOU, Israel's ability to convert 26.3% of annual Foreign Military Financing grants from dollars to shekels for use in Israel will remain until FY2024

This could be embarrassing.
I was going to mention the Kosher Tax that I pay.
According to Wikipedia, the idea that excess revenues generated go into special funds has been debunked as a Conspiracy Theory.

I guess you would have to work for one of the certifying authorities to get that money. Well, unless there is a secret fund.
