Rule of St Benedict: Buddhist Texture and Design
There are curious similarities between certain aspects of Buddhist and Christian teaching, this fact is beyond a doubt, but as to whether this constitutes a direct developmental ‘influence’ between the earlier Buddhism upon the latter Christianity is open to debate. Certainly
Review: Gaza – Preparing for Dawn – by Donald MacIntyre! (28.3.2025)
If the author had even ‘hinted’ at this, I suspect he would have been arrested for (imagined) anti-Semitism, but historical fact is historical fact and the average Israeli is taught in the classroom to be ‘proud’ of the terrorism his or her fore-fathers wrought upon the British Army (and British Authorities) in Palestine. In a very real sense, a certain (and often privileged) sector of middle-class European Jewry had first ‘migrated’ into a more or less welcoming (Arab) Palestine, only to eventually attempt an armed invasion and conquest very much in the model of European colonialism in the Americas! The Zionist Jews of Israel are not an ethnic minority fighting for its survival and self-determination but are part of the broader European project of colonialism, imperialism, genocide and theft of land and resources. This should not be surprising when it is understood that ‘Zionism’ is a form of White Supremacy developed and practised by affluent and secularising ‘White’ Jews (ironically originally from Germany)! After an extensive investigation, the usually bias United Nations declared in 1975 (following a unanimous vote) that ‘Zionism’ was a form of ‘White Supremacy’ and religiously based ‘racism’.
South Devon: Visiting Torquay Museum! (31.8.2018)
We often see various statues of Darwin in the museums in London, but we also enjoy visiting Down House in Kent – his former home. Considering how much research and data we have access to in London, Torquay Museum contains objects that really impressed us, and which were presented in a highly beneficial (and educational) manner, particularly for the children. The museum now has purpose-built learning and play areas for younger explorers, whilst the adult visitors can learn from the historical narratives tactfully covering exploration, imperialism and looting. It is a tricky business presenting this type of information, but we can state that the staff of Torquay Museum have created a very progressive atmosphere that favours ongoing learning over dogmatic versions of history.
Antikythera Mechanism: Dates & Function
However, despite these considerations, it is astonishing to see a machine more likely to have existed in relatively modern times, being produced within ancient Greece by minds enthused with a new way of logically interpreting the world.
