“What my students ultimately believe is none of my business. … Becoming more aware of the multiplicity of traditions and practices will make all of us more curious about and more empathetic toward others’ beliefs—and more humble with respect to our own.” Michael S. Roth, President of Wesleyan University (When Faith Comes Up, Students Avert Their Eyes,) (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/religion-classroom-makes-colleges-feel-uneasy/597109/)
Are we our brother’s keeper?
The basic catechism: “Yes, we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. Even though we are facing our own struggles, we are still in the position to help others who suffer from natural disasters, violence, hunger, and poverty.” http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/being-catholic/solidarity/
dr tom: “Let’s re-read president Roth’s quote and include the missing sentences. ‘What my students ultimately believe is none of my business. But they, like all other college students, need to understand what it’s like to be absorbed in robust traditions, including religious ones. They—and I—should refuse to hide behind narrow versions of critical thinking that keep them from engaging with people whose lives are energized by compassion and forgiveness. Becoming more aware of the multiplicity of traditions and practices will make all of us more curious about and more empathetic toward others’ beliefs—and more humble with respect to our own.’”
kathy sue: “When we add ‘lack of literacy’ to ‘natural disasters, violence, hunger, and poverty’ we approach the primary reason for empowering the vision of ‘justice for all.’”
huck: “When SCOTUS embraces the view that the Constitution requires the use of willful negligence in order to sustain the perjured truth structuring Judaism 1 and 2.0, an act of high treason has occurred.”
gnofleas: “Meeting acts of high treason with acquiescence toward the fraud SCOTUS seeks to sustain strips ‘God’ from the ability to free Americans from the ruse that begins with Adam and Eve.”
class: “Once there was a campfire
in the land with a Dead Sea
where elders used their whopper
to exploit credulity.”
gnofleas: “Can we illuminate the whopper?”
“Worship with us on Sunday
and we will help you believe
Adam really screwed the pooch
when he was tempted by Eve.”

“When grace illuminates truth that’s flawed
cognitive dissonance is ‘done away with.’”
