philosophy, gives you the freedom to move fluidly through beliefs as new ideas and arguments come to mind. REligion limits you.

Philosophy FTW

Question by SethK: Has anyone heard of a quote about Judas being the “true” representative of God on earth.?
I remember reading a quote from I think a modern author, philosopher, musician, someone, suggesting the idea that Judas was the “true” son of god, as the sacrifice of creating such a universally hated figure to polarise people towards believing you was of greater meaning than the sacrifice of Christ.
Has anyone heard of such a quote? It was written in a fairly “dramatic” style I think, yet I can’t find it anywhere.

This isn’t a question about whether the above idea is right or wrong, rather one to ask if anyone has heard of a quote alone those lines? And if so, could they point me to it? Thanks

M. Dweller, maybe the question was asked as devil’s advocate, for perhaps this is the condition under which most decide…albeit a subconscious one.

Question by Barb: How did education change in history from being family based?
Many years ago education used to be the responsibility of the family — parents, grandparents, etc. etc. In 1746 a man, Jean Jacques Rousseau, abandoned his new-born baby on the steps of an orphanage. He did the same thing in the coming years with four more children. They could have all died in the cold! This man, Rousseau, became a famous “education” philosopher that influenced modern day public schools.

The snow-ball effect of abandoning children to the care of others has diminished the role of the family in many areas.

God bless home-schoolers for trying to bring back to the family a nuturing and caring relationship through education and life choices!

It’s all in the world-view of the thinker…
Bible history pre-dates Plato, Socrates, and it also defines the Greeks, the Athenians, etc.

Mose, Abraham, Solomon and hundreds before, in-between and after.

My world view starts with the evidence of creation by God.
The very first school in known history would be the home-education of Adam’s family.

Answer by aristotle1776
I don’t know what you are talking about, the idea of taking the family out of the picture when schooling the young has been around since pre-history.

The Greeks used to make it mandatory (the Athenians and Spartans) for their children to actually leave home for years to be educated before returning to their families. Those societies produced some of the most intelligent human beings ever to live.

If anything the family has an adverse effect on objective education, especially considering the interference that parents may present when pressuring teachers and staff to ‘favor’ their children over others.

You’re living in a false reality if you think ‘family nurturing and life choices’ can substitute for independent thought and critical analysis without parent interference.

Question by Kush.: We all know women are great parrots. But what evidence is there for them being great thinkers?
I can name 100′s of male philosophers, astrologists, mathematicians and scientists who discovered/invented things. Modern day scientists, astrologists, philosophers and the like are just being taught/told things.

He was a wonderful philospher and master and remains adored and revered by his following …

Unending Love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age old pain,
It’s ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

By: Rabindranath Tagore

We prefer not to use this term which was applied from the Christian church in order to insult our ancestors and their religion and way of life. The term ‘Pagan’, which in the original Latin is derived from Paganus (peasant), is yet another insult used by the victorious Christians since the 4th Century, to belittle what remained of the Native Religions. They used this to label all those remaining loyal to their Ethnic Traditions, to imply that they were uneducated and uncouth villagers. The term was used for centuries in most European languages to refer to the Ethnikoi. In the 20th Century, it was reintroduced with the suffix neo (viz. Neopaganism), by various Christian-inspired devotees of Esotericism and the New Age. ‘Neopaganism’ doesn’t concern us. It may even be a manufactured ploy to detract from the current world rule …
