  1. As all great ideas, the idea of human rights defies common sense. It requires effort to understand and accept it.

    In the field of it primarily translates to religious freedom. I usually explain it by saying that the freedom of religion and belief is the right to have outrageous beliefs and to engage in silly practices, however one might define it.

    After all, we would not need the Declaration of Human Rights to tell us that others should be allowed to believe in reasonable things.

  2. This could be little more than a misunderstood inside joke. But… You know. People…

    Yes, they should—but not in the way Texas education officials are going about it. texasobserver.org/state-bible-

  4. The symbolic words The Anchor and the Ark are used in Freemasonry to demonstrate that sense of security and stability felt when lives are grounded in truth and faith as, without these, there can be no happiness or peace of mind. The Anchor and the Ark are emblems of a well-grounded hope, and a well-spent life.

  6. Vielen Dank für die Rückmeldung zum Blogpost, @flyIng 🙏

    Ja - diese Torafeier in Konstanz werde ich wohl mein ganzes Leben lang nicht vergessen! 🥰

    Es war mir zudem wichtig, neben dem biblisch-religiösen Zugang zur Menschenwürde auch den philosophisch-humanistischen Denkweg zu beschreiben.

    Wobei ich schon erlebe, dass die große Schweizer Philosophin Jeanne Hersch (1910 - 2000) weiterhin ignoriert wird, weil sie Frau & Jüdin war.

    Egal - ich lasse mich nicht entmutigen, sondern mache dialogisch weiter. Und positive Rückmeldungen dazu helfen da sehr, vielen Dank! 🙌

  7. A close relative of mine without any religious or spiritual beliefs, affected by stage 6 alzheimers, surprised me during a recent visit.

    He referred back to a recent walk I had taken him on, and said:

    "The other day I was out walking down the street, and you know what? I was looking down on myself ... from high above ... a lot of the time ... watching ... then I was on the street and then up there again ... and it was all okay. It was okay. Nothing to worry about".

    This goes beyond confusion with identity or pronouns because he described, with a moment of surprising eloquence and enthusiasm, physical position and visual change. It aligns with surgery-related descriptions of out of body experiences, and his increasing periods of seemingly 'elsewhere'.

    The comedic actor Peter Sellers described similar when referring back to a brief period of death before resuscitation.

    My relative gave no mention of any religious figures. Instead a simple, nature-based, sensory experience. Onto this, I suspect fear-oriented egos project culturally programmed and potentiated 'personalities' and ego-affirming stereotypes of morality vs immorality. Hence, religion.

  19. War and Peace and the Bible

    What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

    View all responses

    Answer: I haven’t compared lengths but I have read “War and Peace” and “The Bible”. I want to read “War and Peace” again.

    Here’s my thoughts:

    Spines of War and Peace and The Bible

    The Bible

    I went to a Church of England secondary school, although I wasn’t a Christian, but they did offer an excellent education that got me into a good university. It was mandatory to take “Scripture knowledge” lessons and the accompanying “O-level” exams. So I studied the Old Testament for a few years and then the New for a few years more.

    The teachers were very good. They taught The Bible as a work of literature and explained that it was really an anthology. How to recognize the style of the various authors, even though translated by one committee for King James. Called “The Authorised Version” because it was the official Bible of the C of E and its head, the Queen, Defender of the Faith.

    The contradictions between the different works in the anthology and their similarities. How three gospels were “synoptic”—Christ seen through one eye, and the other told from a different viewpoint.

    I did not become a Christian but I did learn a lot about Christianity and some Judaism. And a lot about literary criticism. I finished it off in my own time, reading the books not covered in the lessons. It came in handy for talking with Christians, including Jehovah’s Witnesses at my door, who often didn’t know the Bible as well as I did. One pair got up and literally ran from the house when I showed them passages that contradicted what they were telling me.

    But I’ve had enough now. I won’t read any of it again, except to verify a quotation if I need it.

    War and Peace

    I started this and found it a bit tedious at first, starting with a description of upper class Russian life that I couldn’t really relate to. But I tried again with a Librivox audiobook version while doing household chores, and got caught up in it, so went back to the print version. Meanwhile, I had been reading a few more older novels (Including Anna Karenina) and developed more skills in reading novels. So now I rate it quite highly as character studies and a keenly-observed illustration of an intersecting set of social systems which applies in many ways to the people and systems we see today. Of ways in which the people influence and are influenced by the systems in which they live, becoming almost different persons when playing their roles in different systems.

    On my short list shelf for reading again, after I finish Middlemarch which I rate even higher, for similar reasons, but with funnier sarcasm.

  22. Tens of Thousands of 2,000-Pound Bombs Will Not Solve the World’s Current Problems.


    Increasing an already immense level of death and destruction on Earth is the complete antithesis and rejection of wisdom

    Article republished by Jerry Alatalo | September 16, 2026

    [Editor’s note: Question – Why would any sane, law-abiding person want or need tens of thousands of 2,000-pound bombs? The answer is both simple and complex: To kill and destroy. This extremely-discouraging situation leads to another important question: Where are the world’s leading philosophers and religionists’ voices in principled opposition to this clear plan or intention for escalation of violence?

    Please share this paramount-importance information far and wide. Let it be known, loud and clear, that you vehemently oppose the unnecessary increase of death and destruction on Earth. Please feel free to share your thoughts about this sad, sad development in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]

    Trump Plans New Sale of 2,000-Pound Bombs to Israel, Which Keeps Using Them to Massacre Gazans

    September 16, 2026

    Brett Wilkins Common Dreams

    The Trump administration is preparing to send Israel tens of thousands of 2,000-pound bombs, The Washington Post reported Tuesday—a move that would rank as the largest single sale of the highly destructive munitions, which the Israel Defense Forces have used in some of the deadliest US-backed airstrikes on Gaza and Lebanon.

    According to the Post, the proposed $2.8 billion package includes 20,000 MK-84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs, as well as 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads. The munitions would be purchased with US taxpayer funds through the Foreign Military Financing program. The proposal has been informally presented to congressional committees that review major arms transfers.

    The MK-84 is among the largest conventional bombs in the US arsenal. The Post reported that its blast can propel metal fragments thousands of feet, penetrate thick concrete and metal, and create large craters.

    “If Hezbollah or whoever is in a building, an MK-84 will bring down the whole building,” Trevor Ball, a former US Army explosive ordnance disposal technician, told the Post.

    Following the Hamas-led attack of October 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) loosened rules of engagement to effectively allow the killing of an unlimited number of civilians when targeting even a single low-ranking Hamas member in an airstrike.

    Combined with the utilization of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to select targets at a far faster rate than humans alone could, IDF use of 1,000- and 2,000-pound bombs has contributed heavily to the staggering casualty toll in Gaza, where officials say that more than 250,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded since October 2023.

    That month, Israeli forces struck Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp with such munitions, killing at least 126 Palestinians in a bid to assassinate a single Hamas commander.

    Michael Lynk, who served as the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories from 2016 to 2022, said early in the war that “the scale of Palestinian civilian deaths in such a short period of time appears to be the highest such civilian casualty rate in the 21st century.”

    In December 2023, University of Chicago military historian Robert Pape called Israel’s bombing “one of the most intense civilian punishment campaigns in history.”

    Classified IDF intelligence data leaked last year revealed that 5 in 6 Palestinians killed by the IDF through the first 19 months of the US-backed war were civilians.

    Israel continues to kill Palestinians with US-supplied 2,000-pound bombs, despite a nearly yearlong supposed ceasefire. Last week, the IDF reportedly massacred two young girls and their parents when it bombed their home in northern Gaza.

    A South Africa-led case backed by nearly 20 nations that is currently before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza. The International Criminal Court has also issued warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes in the strip, including murder and forced starvation.

    “[President] Donald Trump is sending bombs paid for by American taxpayers to a government led by a wanted war criminal—all while the Netanyahu government continues to bomb Gaza and Lebanon, and block justice and accountability for Americans killed on its watch,” US Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Tuesday, according to the Post. “This is not putting Americans first. We will work to stop it.”

    Israel denies all accusations against it. Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders and supporters have repeatedly claimed that the IDF is the “world’s most moral army.”

    The IDF has also dropped 2,000-pound bombs in Lebanon. In September 2024, it launched a massive strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and destroyed multiple residential buildings. Analyses subsequently indicated that US-made 2,000-pound bombs were likely used in the attack.

    In another IDF strike on Beirut the following month, at least 22 people were killed and more than 115 wounded. Human Rights Watch and a former US military explosives expert identified remnants from the attack as coming from a US-made Joint Direct Attack Munition guidance kit compatible with MK80-series bombs weighing between 500 and 2,000 pounds.

    The United States has nevertheless supplied Israel with thousands of the weapons during both the Biden and Trump administrations. Reuters reported in June 2024 that the Biden administration had sent Israel more than 10,000 2,000-pound bombs since the October 2023 Hamas-led attack, along with thousands of other munitions.

    In May 2024, then-President Joe Biden paused delivery of a shipment containing 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs amid concerns that Israel could use them during its assault on Rafah, where more than a million displaced Palestinians were sheltering, and where the ICJ ordered Israel to immediately halt its offensive and prevent genocidal acts. Israel ignored the order.

    That pause became a rare instance in which Washington explicitly withheld a major category of offensive weaponry from Israel over concerns about civilian casualties. Trump reversed the policy almost immediately after returning to office in January 2025, ordering the release of the withheld 2,000-pound bombs.

    When asked why, Trump replied: “Because they bought them.”

    But with American taxpayers often footing the bill for such transfers, critics again lashed out at the practically unconditional US support for Israel.

    “We don’t have universal healthcare because our government prioritizes money for bombs,” leftist commentator and activist Sabrina Salvati said Tuesday on social media, lamenting that the “$2.8 billion bomb sale [is] going to Israel to slaughter more babies.”

    Author and leftist podcaster Wajahat Ali also took to social media to blast the proposed transfer, writing: “Congrats, MAGA. Trump is using our money to give bombs to Israel to kill civilians.”

    “You don’t have healthcare or a living wage,” he added, “but hey, more war crimes!”

  23. Interieur Andreaskerk

    In het interieur van de Andreaskerk in Westeremden zijn vooral de fraaie muur- en gewelfschilderingen uit de 13e en 15e eeuw het meest opvallend. Deze middeleeuwse kunstwerken sieren de gewelven en muren en bevatten onder andere afbeeldingen van:

    De zondeval
    Johannes de Doper
    De Heilige Laurentius
    De kerk maakt ondanks vele veranderingen nog steeds een middeleeuwse indruk. Het interieur wordt gekenmerkt door het prachtig gemetselde en nog zeer gave Romaanse gewelf. Verder is er een koorhek dat het schip scheidt van het koor.

    De kerk is sinds 1973 in beheer bij de Stichting Oude Groninger Kerken en is vrij te bezichtigen. De naastgelegen weem (pastorie) is herbouwd door de kunstschilder Henk Helmantel, die ook een bekend schilderij heeft gemaakt van het interieur van de kerk voor de restauratie.
