DOG (Death of God) Movement

clipper's remarks: Clips giving an overview of the DOG movement.

Death of God Theology

In the 1960s, DOG, or "Death of God," theology became a buzzword. Completely missing the point of Harvard University's Harvey Cox in his popular book The Secular City, people jumped on the idea that DOG theology meant that what would come to be called "secular humanism" had triumphed. Conservative clergy heaped great scorn on those who even tried to understand what the so-called "DOG scholars" were trying to say.

Time magazine brought the issue to the front burner of public opinion when they placed Thomas Altizer of Emory University squarely in the hot seat. The bold cover story with the words "Is God Dead?" made Altizer a household name.

Most scholars who contributed to Death of God theology were trying to make an important point.

the crucifixion symbolized the end of the historical idea that God was just "out there" somewhere, uninvolved.

The phrase "death of God" represented more a new understanding of God, or of the concept of God, than the destruction thereof.

Europeans too selfish to have children

Europe is “dying’’ because its secular residents are too selfish to have children, according to Lord Sacks, the Chief Rabbi.

The leader of Britain’s Jewish community claimed the continent’s population is in decline because people care more about shopping than the sacrifice involved in parenthood.

He blamed atheist “neo-Darwinians” for Europe’s low birth rate and said religious people of all denominations are more likely to have large families.

The Chief Rabbi, who entered the House of Lords last week, made his comments in a lecture on religion in the 21st century hosted by Theos, the public theology think-tank, on Wednesday night.

Lord Sacks said that faith had survived so far because it could provide answers to mankind’s eternal search for meaning in life - unlike the market, the state, science or philosophy, which underpin modern liberal democracies.

The Chief Rabbi warned that secular Europe is at risk, however, because its moral relativism can easily be defeated by fundamentalists.

Sexual Fun and Games for Christian Couples

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:10:47 GMT

clipped by: christianmarriage
clipper's remarks: This is the only book that remains sensitive to the Christian couple's desire to honor God and not engage in any immoral or spiritually distasteful activities.

Clip Source: bestchristianmarriagebooks.com

God intended sex between married couples to be enjoyable. As Lewis Smedes, professor of theology at Fuller Seminary once said, “God made us body people. Bodies are meant to play and, we can add, to be played with.”

There are no shortage of books to be found about sexual games. However, the vast majority of these are not written from a Christian sensibility. They make no distinction between married and pre-marital sex, and include images that are basically soft-core pornography.

Sexual Fun And Games For The Christian Couple avoids all of this. It’s the only couple’s sex games book we’ve seen that remains sensitive to the Christian couple’s desire to not engage in any immoral or spiritually distasteful activities. There is no vulgar language, and no graphic pictures. In fact, there is nothing in the book that would be considered “off-limits” to a Christian couple looking to add some excitement to their sexual relationship while at the same time honoring God.

Universie Today - The Stats are In: No Global Cooling

The Stats Are In: No Global Cooling

Yet, as we see in the news there are those who want alternatives to Darwinian theory (solidly established in its basic form) as well as cosmology. Global warming does not impact the theology of a deity, but it does impact the theology of the dollar. So there is a lot of investment in creating noise and confusion on the matter. This is not too different from the tobacco industry's "Tobacco Institute," meant to make counter claims against cancer links and to generate noise and a smoke screen to protect profits from the industry. We have been seeing similar trends, with the Heartland Institute and others.

Comment of the Day: Understanding Liberation Theology

clipper's remarks: *applause*......I heartily agree!!

I am currently being tortured with a year FULL of this 'Liberation Theology'---arrrgh....

However, we all have our crosses to bear

Clip Source: newsrealblog.com

Here’s someone who seems to know what he’s talking about commenting on Paul Cooper’s NewsReal Sunday post and responding to another commenter:

The only research I need on this subject is the testimony of those who where and continue to be victims of the virulent Marxist version of Liberation Theology that still continues to haunt Central and South America residents.

Liberation Theology is another leftist sham in which the very same platform of the left, social justice, free housing, free health care, free food, free clothing, free everything, is taken almost whole cloth and wrongly given the association with Jesus and with the Catholic Church in particular!

I was raised in the Catholic Church, was in the Seminary, had an uncle who was monsignor in said church. Some of the most virulent leftists and liberals I have come across are priests and nuns for chrissakes! Do not try and tell me what “Liberation Theology” is and is not, been there done that, got the collar! Madre Dios!

This is not a joke, it's a real product for sale on an African-American website:

This is a Barack Obama Bible cover.

Where do I begin? How about the fact that he hasn't been to church more than 2-3 times since January? As a friend of mine recently commented on Facebook: "I heard back in January the couple was trying to decide which church in DC to go to, the one with mostly white people, the one with mostly black people, or the one with a mix of both. Wow, don't worry about theology or anything guys, just about what it looks like."

Great chain of being .1

Great chain of being

The chain of being is composed of a great number of hierarchical links, from the most basic and foundational elements up through the very highest perfection, in other words, God.

Man is both mortal flesh, as those below him, and also spirit as those above. In this dichotomy, the struggle between flesh and spirit becomes a moral one. The way of the spirit is higher, more noble; it brings one closer to God. The desires of the flesh move one away from God. The Christian fall of Lucifer is especially terrible, because that angel is wholly spirit, who yet defies God, the ultimate perfection.

Pagels’s Augustine: The Dark Prophet of Grace

Book Review: Adam, Even and the Serpent by Elaine Pagels. (Random House, 189 pp.)

Elaine Pagels has established her reputation by making the seemingly arcane topic of patristics, the theology of the early church, into a subject for celebrated and briskly selling books. As a follow-up to The Gnostic Gospel, which won the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circles Award, the Princeton University professor has now published Adam, Eve, and the Serpent (Random House, 189 pp., $17.95)

Face of God

Israel was able to serve only "its" God, and could proclaim the unity of only "its" God (which theophanically is the sixth Sephiroth according to the Kabbalists). Each of us, as well, has to recognize "his" God, the one to which he [is able to] respond. I believe our researches open the way, of necessity, to angelology (that of a Proclus, that of the Kabbala) which will be reborn with increasing potency. The Angel is the Face that our God takes for us, and each of us finds his God only when he recognizes that Face. The service which we can render others is to help them encounter that Face about which they will be able to say: Talem eum vidi qualem capere potui ["I am able to grasp such as I have seen"].

Ratzinger on his way to UK

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Save us, O Lord, save us all. Save us from the Pope. Joseph Ratzinger is coming to Britain. Gordon Brown is "delighted". David Cameron is "delighted". I am "repelled". Let him come; I applaud freedom of speech. But no red carpets, please. No biscuits. No Queen.

Ratzinger's job to investigate the child abuse scandal that plagued the Catholic church for decades

investigations should be handled "in the most secretive way . . . restrained by a perpetual silence"

Aids, Ratzinger says, "cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems". That is a lie. Not a fantasy, like the virgin birth and all the other magical, mystical nonsense, but a dangerous lie.

homosexuality is "an intrinsic moral evil".

sees the push for female priests as driven by "spokeswomen for radical feminists, especially lesbians".

suppression of Liberation Theology, a Latin American movement that insists that social justice is the central purpose of Christianity

Durga Puja is coming up. Swami Sivananda says: do not sacrifice animals for Devi

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 15:03:32 GMT

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: Commentary from Swami Sivananda, founder of the Divine Life society, on the observance of Durga Puja. Traditionally, animal sacrifice has often been a part of the ritual, but Sivananda declares this a violation of the principle of ahimsa, which is binding on all Hindus no matter what caste, jati, or situation they belong to. An interesting example of second-order discourse in contemporary non-Western religion.

Clip Source: www.hindu-blog.com

Animal Sacrifice during Durga Puja Navratri and Dashain is Himsa and should not be practiced – Swami Sivananda

Offer to Goddess Durga the animal, the Pashu, of your inner evil trait of passion, of anger, of greed. Do not kill animals of the external world in the name of Balidana to the Goddess.

She wants your animal-man within. No Himsa should be committed on the excuse that it is for the Devi. You have no right or justification to hurt any living creature for whatever reason.

Ahimsa should be free from all exemptions whether pertaining to class, place, time or circumstances. Ahimsa is a universal vow to be practiced absolutely. No worship, no prayer, no act whatsoever in life can justify injury or harm done to living beings. Even self-protection can not justify murder.

The offering of the self, the surrender of the ego to the Divinity is the supreme sacrifice. Nothing is superior to it.

Swami Sivananda

How to Read the Bible, Part 1: Beginner by Morene Lopez , Sep 19, 2009 at 08:44 AM

The Philippines is the only predominantly Christian country in Asia, but according to the Philippine Bible Society, 6 out of 10 Filipinos either do not read the Bible or do not even own one. Reasons for this vary from seemingly valid (i.e. the old English is hard to read) to plain ridiculous (i.e. the small font hurts their eyes). True, it can be overwhelming to try reading all 66 books and 1,189 chapters. You may ask, why should we even bother when you can get a dose of spiritual enlightenment via all those simple (and thinner) books in the Inspirational/Theology section of the bookstore, plus those untold numbers of pastors’ podcasts you can listen to while you’re working out on your treadmill?

The Bible is a pretty amazing book, as demonstrated by the way it was written:

Gates lashes out at critics of U.S. missile plan

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Saturday lashed out at critics of a new missile defense plan for Europe and insisted it was not a concession to Russia, as some charge.

Gates, a Republican who served in senior positions under former President George H.W. Bush and his son, former President George W. Bush, wrote in an opinion article for the New York Times that the criticism of the plan is misguided.

"I believe this is a very pragmatic proposal. I have found since taking this post that when it comes to missile defense, some hold a view bordering on theology that regards any change of plans or any cancellation of a program as abandonment or even breaking faith," Gates said.

The objective of the missile plan is to counter the threat of missile attack from Iran, not Russia.

Gates, however, said it was "a better way forward" and argued that Europe will still have missile defense under it. He said it was a distortion to call the new plan "some sort of concession to Russia."
