"I'd start with Good Friday -- likely the week before, give some time for sadness. Like it or not, part of this story is of humanity rejecting God when God reaches out to us. Resurrection is the Easter story...…"

Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"@Forest -- Ok... I'm going to say -- I'm very much a Theist, but the idea that people need a connection to the Divine pre-supposes that there is a Divine. This leaves out people with a non-theistic world view... its rather difficult…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"(the application of the solution is called genocide)

Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"By the way -- there is -- for me a line between "My view is right"... "Others need to adopt my view, or we cannot have social harmony". The first is... pretty universal (few people approach a conversation assuming they are…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"Your essay scares me, let me try to explain.
I'm rather surprised that the Berber empire expanding into area that was once the Roman Empire (where the Pope had become sort of an Emperor substitute), and the Ottoman Turks, and Arabs…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"By the way, about my friends -- how can friends talk about faith and life without gaining insights? I gained a lot of insights about Christianity from a very-conservative Muslim friend. It is hard to say how much I learned from Jews, and…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"Yes -- you may take my attack as confirmation, if you like. I rather like my friends -- and do not take insults lightly.
Yes, you are being judged. I think it is bigoted and inconsistent to say that 'any path' is right and…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"You are judging people you never met, from a place you have never been as having an inferior connection with the divine, because they do not share your religious bias.... and you will not admit that you are an exclusivist? You are exactly the…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"@Forrest -- I lived in an area with a large population of minorities. There were Christians (mostly Han), Muslims (mostly Hui), Jews (not a recognized minority... but claimed to be descendent of Jewish merchants)... and of course lots of…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"Your Irish example is unrelated to the immigration issue. One is bad behavior between two sets of Christians, fighting for political power. The other includes immigration issues, which would still be there if they were all Christian (see…"
Michael Jay replied to Rupert Booth's discussion 'Universalism as a means to social harmony'"Your suggestion is that... the world would be peaceful if everyone had the same religious views, thus, everyone should adopt YOUR religion. Your recommendation is the definition of bigotry... if we want peace, people need to be peaceable.…"

In one of my comments to my own VERY brief essay, I linked to some longer essays. Mine is just an answer to a face-book comment."
