    What the Founding Fathers Said

    There is no mention of the deity in the United States Constitution. Every state constitution, however, invokes a deity.

    Does Capitalism Make Us Virtuous?

    There is also a lively debate about whether or not economist Adam Smith favored greed. I am inclined to agree with David C. Korten in his book, When Corporations Rule the World, 2nd Ed, 2001: Um, I feel I should toss in a bible verse at this point to maintain this thread under religious debates.

    Does Capitalism Make Us Virtuous?

    Has anyone seen the film Wall Street, directed by Oliver Stone, 1987? I've done a search on the phrase "greed is good" and find that it was uttered by nasty corporate raider Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas in Stone's film. Wooh! Morality conflicts pitting wealth and power against...

    The Marriage at Cana

    Oops! Thanks! I misread the Wikipedia citation which plainly states that Qana in Lebanon is not the same location.

    Prayer in School

    Peace, everyone! I'm sorry that this is so wounding but I was trying to make a point about precisely why the Founders of our nation, the United States, were so adamant about the separation of church and state. They were sick to the death of the interreligious wars of Europe, of Protestants and...

    Terror in Seattle

    The shooter was insane and it was very easy for him to get his hands on a gun. This is America, after all, and the NRA rules.

    Does Capitalism Make Us Virtuous?

    Thank you all. I learned a lot from this discussion. I am a horribly lazy scholar and should be reading volumes and volumes of dry material and I find, happily, that events of the last century or so are kind of summed up on this page. Now, if someone would just give me a 100-word comprehensive...

    The Ten Commandments

    Ratsach, in reference to "Thou shalt not kill," I gather that the critical word is "kill," not "murder" as some would have it? Was that the original intent of the Deity, to forbid "killing" as opposed to "murdering"?

    Excellent point, Booko.

    Why not make the 10 Commandments enforceable (and punishable) law?

    In what language were the Ten Commandments originally written? Hebraic? Aramaic, as possibly Mel Gibson would have it?

    Ten Commandments in a court house

    Fresh off the press! God just handed me this latest edition of the Commandments--He's decided there should be Eleven, by the way: I. Thou shalt take any and all religious pronouncements with a grain of salt. II. Thou shalt be exceedingly careful about whom and what you bow down to in...
