Grace is working on a piece about forgiveness, and we hope it will go live the week of Sept. 24th.<br /><br />We are being "forgiving" toward ourselves, only posting every other week for now. The weekly pace was beginning to be a source of stress, as we are all working and busy. But we truly love this course of study and are grateful to hear from you and other readers. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I would venture to say that people who justify abuses, violence, war and intolerance in God's name are hijacking religion to serve their own agenda. Every major religion/faith tradition in the world includes the "Golden Rule" in some format. If adherents to these religions were truly faithful, and living according to God's rules, our world would look different from its current state. Unfortunately, some people insist that everyone else has to be wrong in order for them to be right. I don't believe this is a masculine trait. I think it's a flaw in human nature. That's just my take, though. We'll see what Grace & Yasmina cook up in the next 2 weeks.<br /><br />Blessings of peace for the Jewish New Year (5773), TziporahShe Answers Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100433553612114433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735771248514471225.post-29077145273134417052012-09-11T21:53:11.740-07:002012-09-11T21:53:11.740-07:00At some point I'd love to read your meditation...At some point I'd love to read your meditations on human forgiveness: in whose power does it lie, can it be conditional and if so, when, and what are the consequences? It seems to me that much war, especially when anyone ties it to religion or abuses God by tying it to Him is making a statement about their own inadequacy and inability to forgive. Is this a culturally masculine trait, this willingness to take life rather than to pray, be angry even, but to refrain from meting out death?<br /><br />What is your take, dear women?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735771248514471225.post-54887237632892694822012-08-15T12:57:27.664-07:002012-08-15T12:57:27.664-07:00As always, I am struck by the similarities we shar...As always, I am struck by the similarities we share with our cousins.
