"I'm a Jew not in search of an adjective" -A. J. Heschel
Mike Royko, a columnist, many years ago on God
and justice.
My writings of my experience immediately after the terrorist attacks on september
11th, 2001 as two planes crashed into new york's prominent skyline leaving
behind ashes and anger.
Some discussions on faith
and Judaism.
See the excellent Olam
magazine.
Unanswered questions are far less dangerous than unquestioned
answers.
... But as records of
courts and justice are admissible, it can
easily be proved that
powerful and malevolent magicians once existed
and were a scourge to
mankind. The evidence (including
confession)
upon which certain women
were convicted of witchcraft and executed was
without a flaw; it is
still unimpeachable. The judges'
decisions based
on it were sound in logic
and in law. Nothing in any existing
court
was ever more thoroughly
proved than the charges of witchcraft and
sorcery for which so many
suffered death. If there were no
witches,
human testimony and human
reason are alike destitute of value.
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
