@Bayreuth79> She is speaking on the same topic(s) most of the time God,Religion etc. :) It is to her credit that she is consistent in her thoughts ;)

The comment of Agaperion Rex against Karen Armstrong is disgusting and below the standard of civilized criticism. Karen Armstrong is a distinguished and highly respected religious scholar. She has earned international recognition for her extraordinary contributions and respect of millions of people all around the world. She is great. I am confident these filthy comments of dirty minds will not discourage her. May God bless her.

She doesn't believe in God. Jesus Christ is God.

Unfortunately, she misrepresents what the Catholic Church really teaches. The Catholic Church teaches that religion must not be separate from the state, that inter-religious ecumenical dialogue is evil, and that outside of It there is no salvation. (Pope Pius XI in his 1928 encyclical Mortalium Animos teaches that "certainly such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics" and that one who supports inter-religious meetings is "altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion.") Most horrifying is her attribution of her heresy to the Angelic Doctor. (Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae Ia. Q11. ad. 2 said that "God [...] is incorporeal and infinite; and in the same way [...] one.") Even if a canonized saint had uttered words to the contrary, if contradicted by a valid Pope, approved Council, or by a word of Sacred Scripture, it is absolutely null and void. (The 1441 Council of Florence declared that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church can have a share in eternal life and Jesus speaks of the absolute nature of God in John 14:6.)

Religion is a set of beliefs,that, no matter how unreasonable or how much evidence is shown to contradict it, you refuse to change your mind.

Armstrong gives the same lecture over and over again but with different titles.

@sukumac9013 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, each talk similar , but that’s good as we just don’t seem to get it - we are all making the same mistakes over and over - the way we treat each other - the way some misuse the various scriptures to support their awful deeds . So, she needs to keep saying the same things - keep reminding us that we must work together to achieve ‘compassionate communities ‘

What is religion? Question may be easy to answer or it is difficult to understand & answer.

The problem with golden rule is the problem of ethical and moral diversity, that is, how we would like to be treated is not necessarily how others wish to be treated, the golden rule is not always a reflection of compassion but of projected ego and social learning about what constitutes dignity and respect.

@kaylakarrion9885 2 жыл бұрын

Our task is to communicate with people about what being treated with compassion means to them

This is an interesting point and worth discussion on different levels. Many societal differences for sure by also many 😂 basic needs in different societies. Freedom seems to be high on most people’s and societies lists.

Religion is man made to provide some satisfaction to emotions. However where is the answer? What is the correct concept of God? There is a very good book What is Islam by Parwez which provides v good discussion of this topic..it is non religious.

Karen, I naiively believed in the Golden Rule when it came to Family Law - I totally supported Father's Rights in 2004, and all that happened was... a school principal treated me as insane and lawyers did not even care, they sustained domestic violence, goodwill was never reciprocated and indeed only further punishing and degraded outcomes occured. I was treated like a joke - to think The Golden Rule should have been respected in family law. They sided with the person willing to keep paying a lawyer to keep the 'golden rule' meaningless.

The "Believers" understanding of Religion, is within certain pre-conceived "Notions" and could be defined as, an "intrinsic" human understanding of the Existential ! Whereas, a "liberated" understanding [of those, liberated from preconceived Notions] attempts such, within Reason ... These attempts; in terms of good or bad intents ... can, and do vary, from person to person. Karen is no exception to the Rule; she trying to promote the idea of "peaceful co-existence" which is not a Religion
