27.5.2024: (TTV) THE LATEST ISRAELI OUTRAGE! (I hope someone is keeping note) Not only are these Zionists merciless killers (talk about 'Right-wing Extremism'!) they lie with turpitudinous and shameless impudence. With 'two fingers' to the ICJ, ICC, the UN and international public opinion, they target civilians with their American-supplied bombs and then have the audacity to claim it was a 'mistake'. He and the nation he represents, deserve only the opprobrium and destestation of all and every right-thinking person, who still clings to a sliver of humanity or compassion. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjjj26d0eqxo
I’ve been thinking about Moses and his rage when he came down from the mount to find the Israelites worshipping a golden calf.
The ecofeminist in me was always uneasy about this story: What kind of God is jealous of animals? What kind of God wants to hoard all the sacredness of the Earth for himself?

But there is a less literal way of understanding this story. It is about false idols. About the human tendency to worship the profane and shiny, to look to the small and material rather than the large and transcendent.
What I want to say to you tonight at this revolutionary and historic Seder in the Streets is that too many of our people are worshipping a false idol once again. They are enraptured by it. Drunk on it. Profaned by it.
That false idol is called Zionism.
It is a false idol that takes our most profound biblical stories of justice and emancipation from slavery — the story of Passover itself — and turns them into brutalist weapons of colonial land theft, roadmaps for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
It is a false idol that has taken the transcendent idea of the promised land — a metaphor for human liberation that has traveled across multiple faiths to every corner of this globe — and dared to turn it into a deed of sale for a militaristic ethnostate.
Political Zionism’s version of liberation is itself profane. From the start it required the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and ancestral lands in the Nakba.
From the start it has been at war with dreams of liberation. At a Seder it is worth remembering that this includes the dreams of liberation and self-determination of the Egyptian people. This false idol of Zionism equates Israeli safety with Egyptian dictatorship and client states.
From the start it has produced an ugly kind of freedom that saw Palestinian children not as human beings but as demographic threats — much as the pharaoh in the Book of Exodus feared the growing population of Israelites and thus ordered the death of their sons.
Zionism has brought us to our present moment of cataclysm, and it is time that we said clearly: It has always been leading us here.
What kind of God wants to hoard all the sacredness of the Earth for himself?
It is a false idol that has led far too many of our own people down a deeply immoral path that now has them justifying the shredding of core commandments: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet.
It is a false idol that equates Jewish freedom with cluster bombs that kill and maim Palestinian children.
Zionism is a false idol that has betrayed every Jewish value, including the value we place on questioning — a practice embedded in the Seder with its four questions asked by the youngest child.
Including the love we have as a people for text and for education.
Today, this false idol justifies the bombing of every university in Gaza; the destruction of countless schools, of archives, of printing presses; the killing of hundreds of academics, of journalists, of poets — this is what Palestinians call scholasticide, the killing of the means of education.
Meanwhile, in this city, the universities call in the NYPD and barricade themselves against the grave threat posed by their own students daring to ask them basic questions such as, “How can you claim to believe in anything at all, least of all us, while you enable, invest in and collaborate with this genocide?”
The false idol of Zionism has been allowed to grow unchecked for far too long.
So tonight we say: It ends here.
Our Judaism cannot be contained by an ethnostate, for our Judaism is internationalist by nature.
Our Judaism cannot be protected by the rampaging military of that state, for all that military does is sow sorrow and reap hatred — including against us as Jews.
Our Judaism is not threatened by people raising their voices in solidarity with Palestine across lines of race, ethnicity, physical ability, gender identity and generations.
Our Judaism is one of those voices and knows that in that chorus lies both our safety and our collective liberation.
Our Judaism is the Judaism of the Passover Seder: the gathering in ceremony to share food and wine with loved ones and strangers alike, the ritual that is inherently portable, light enough to carry on our backs, in need of nothing but each other. No walls, no temple, no rabbi, a role for everyone, even — especially — the smallest child. The Seder is a diaspora technology if ever there was one, made for collective grieving, contemplation, questioning, remembering and reviving the revolutionary spirit.
So look around. This, here, is our Judaism. As waters rise and forests burn and nothing is certain, we pray at the altar of solidarity and mutual aid no matter the cost.
We don’t need or want the false idol of Zionism. We want freedom from the project that commits genocide in our name. Freedom from an ideology that has no plan for peace other than deals with murderous theocratic petrostates next door, while selling the technologies of robo-assassinations to the world.
We seek to liberate Judaism from an ethnostate that wants Jews to be perennially afraid, that wants our children to be afraid, that wants us to believe the world is against us so that we go running to its fortress and beneath its iron dome, or at least keep the weapons and donations flowing.
That is the false idol.
And it’s not just Netanyahu, it’s the world he made and that made him — it’s Zionism.
What are we? We, in these streets for months and months, are the exodus. The exodus from Zionism.
And to the Chuck Schumers of this world, we do not say, “Let our people go.”
We say, “We have already gone. And your kids? They’re with us now.”
This is a transcript of a speech delivered April 23 at the Emergency Seder in the Streets held in Grand Army Plaza near Sen. Chuck Schumer’s home where approximately 200 of the demonstrators were arrested.

As Israel orders the evacuation of Rafah, many Palestinians are returning to their destroyed homes in Khan Younis after Israeli forces left the city on April 7. Bisan returns to Gaza’s second-largest city, which once had a population of around 400,000 people. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians sheltering in Khan Younis were forced to flee in February when Israeli forces besieged the city for months. Now, as Israel bombs Rafah, many Palestinians are being forced to evacuate back to Khan Younis.
Bisan visits a mass grave site behind Nasser Hospital where almost 400 bodies have been uncovered. Despite the destruction, Bisan interviews Palestinians who are determined to rebuild the city.

23.5.2024: TTV: In reply to Jure Grbavac: In theological terms Jure, the 'New Covenant' replaced the Old one. The Old Covenant' or 'contract' was with Abraham and his descendants. Religious Jews rejected Jesus as Christ (and still do) The New Covenant was with all believers - Jews and Gentiles. As to the current Zionist occupiers of a territory, they are largely atheists, so to rely on Old Testament history and Divine prophesy, can only be hypocritical and false. In fact Hasidic Jewry appears to pour scorn on the current political Israel. You will remember that Moses struck dead the man that mistreated another and God in the Bible condemns outright the sort of behaviour the Zionists have demonstrated throughout their brief history . To equate them with any divine status or future is I believe a grave error. It has allowed America, founded on Christian principles, to to back mass murder and destruction, not seen on such a scale since Iraq and Libya. "By their works ye shall know them", and by that standard it is clear, if there is a Devil, they are its children. In the words of Christ, as they are recorded: "I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." How could I better that?
23.5.2024: As Mearsheimer has pointed out there are four obvious scenarios: A two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders; A united Israel/Palestine replicating current 'greater Israel'; the occupation and subjugation of Palestine in an apartheid state; or another forced 'Nakba'. Despite pretending otherwise the Zionists will never agree to 1. Nor will they agree to 2 as this would involve affording equal rights and likely control to Palestinians. So they have opted for 3 and 4, the terrible consequences of which we have all been witness to. The scenario he does not allude to is either an economic or military collapse of the State of Israel itself, in which case it would be back to the drawing board for all. https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/2024/05/say-stop-arming-israel-may-17-2024-from.html

Did Jesus steal the donkeys?
EXPOSED: Israel’s Secret War

TTV 14.5.2024: I am currently slowly getting through Tolstoy's classic War and Peace. It of course relates, some fifty years after the event, the invasion of Russia, as far as Moscow, of the then feared and indomitable French army of Napoleon Bonaparte, which eventually ended in disaster, much as what happened to a certain dictator some 130 years later.
We can draw our own parallels and conclusions in regards to current events, with the proviso that humans and nations never seem to learn, nor do their leaders, quite immune and callous as to the immeasurable suffering they cause in pursuit of their egos and ideology.
However of all the superlative prose in this epic work, one paragraph struck me with particular force and I will copy it here:
"And it never enters anyone's head, that to admit a greatness not commensurable with the standard of right and wrong, is merely to admit one's own nothingness and littleness. For us who have the standard of good and evil given us by Christ, nothing can claim to be outside the law. And there is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent." (Book 4. Part 3: 18)
In the current political climate and the terrible conditions prevailing in at least Ukraine and Palestine and to the stance taken by governments and political and religious leaders (or not as the case may be), no words could be more cogent or applicable.

It's simply not overpoweringly forced onto the masses these days as it used to be Tim, church attendances are declining rapidly as we discover more about the universe and let science show us the way instead of 2,000-year old middle-eastern goat-herders stories . . .
Dom Lowe "2,000-year old middle-eastern goat-herders stories . . ." I've seen that line before I think. It's interesting to surmise what the past 2000 years (at least) would have been like without them. I have a feeling if they had not been, someone would have invented them. Presumably Norse gods or one of the other belief systems would have filled the void. We are unavoidably, including our scepticism, a product of our culture. If you strip Europe of its Christianity, it would no longer be recognisable as such. But all this is a separate matter to the first century man called Jesus, in that still ravaged middle eastern territory, what he claimed and what he taught, that remains an unassailable moral standard by which to live, whether you accept the metaphysical aspects or not.
Aye, that’s a phrase I use often Tim, I guess what made a good story to them is less relevant to us today and I agree, were it not for these stories others would’ve taken their place.
Yes the stories tell us he was good bloke but the stuff that accompanies that like the immaculate conception, feeding of the 5,000, healing a blind man, the resurrection etc is just ridiculous.
Matthew 21:2 he tells his disciples to steal a donkey because god said it's ok and they do it.
Mark 11: 12-25 he kills a fig tree because it's got no fruit, even though it's not in season.
Mark 5:13 he sends a herd of pigs over a cliff to their deaths by casting out demons
Matthew 15:21-28 he calls a non Jewish woman a dog when she wants him to heal her sick daughter, says he's only been sent here to help the Jews, only when she begs and calls herself a dog does he help, does the miracle anyway but is still is a bit of a dick about it!
Luke 14:26 he tells people to hate their mothers fathers etc. and hate themselves in order to follow him and he's not here to bring peace but a sword.
And there are plenty more examples which don’t meet my moral standards . . .
You put an interesting spin on the events as reported nearly two thousand years ago. More than the person who wrote them even! But just to deal with your first example, nowhere does it actually say, 'God said it's OK'. That must be your interpretation. What it does say, is that it was to fulfill a prophesy. As we know, if the writing of these disciples can be believed, both they and Jesus were familiar with all the Old Testament writings, and were always aware of their significance. Some still see history and events in that light - as a Divine unfolding. I am not saying I necessarily agree, but what cannot be denied is that it is deeply embedded in the human psyche. People see their individual lives in that way also, how in a sense life is but an unreeling of the inevitable when viewed backwards, as it were. A process of fate or predestination. Nor does it imply he was 'stealing' the two animals. Leaving aside the possibility of supernatural powers, Jesus obviously knew they were there in advance. What is to say the owner was not a supporter who had agreed to lend them? We hear no more about the animals after the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, so presumably the animals returned to their owner. In a modern context in films how often does the hero take over a car to chase the villain or carry out an heroic act. Nobody in the cinema objects on moral grounds. All the 'Gospels' written within seventy years, and incredibly preserved to this day, take a different slant on the events. Of them, Matthew's is the most Messianic, making the case for a divine work of redemption and renewal; a transference of the ancient Abrahamic promises, to the Gentiles. In other words a seismic cosmic event, that Jews to this day, find offensive. Jesus was at that moment the celebrity being worshipped by the crowd, presumably the same crowd that only a few days later was calling for his death. That in itself is a powerful lesson in justice and the fickle nature of human values. These are poignant scenes as memorable as Shakespeare, our preeminent dramatist, ever wrote. It is hard work to decipher them or to say what is fact or fiction. Everything turns on understanding and interpretation. The stories operate on multiple levels. We draw meaning and inspiration from them as we would from a work of art. I am reminded of that section in 'Dead Poets' Society' on the meaning of poetry, where to analyse it according to strict rules is to destroy it. Whether we like it or not, we are in the grip of history, both personal and global. We cannot escape it. The events of two thousand years ago still resonate to this day, however we choose to interpret them but dismissing them out of hand and completely? Tell it to the Marines, LOL. Kind regards, T.
Sorry for the delay gents, gin with elderflower mead packs a punch and certainly gives you a head the next day.
Anyways:
Tim, you suggest that the gospel stories are wrapped in prophecies and spiritual significance, as though that should shield them from critique. But if we're seriously considering these stories as moral guides, we need them to hold up under scrutiny—not hide behind claims of divine prophecy. If anything, these prophecies often feel more like convenient plot devices than genuine moral lessons. When Jesus curses a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season, are we really supposed to take from that a deep spiritual lesson, or does it rather highlight a capricious use of power?
As for the whole business with the donkey, suggesting it was a prearranged affair is a stretch. The text gives no indication of consent from the owner, which makes it look a lot like theft. If we're to draw lessons from this, we need clear moral directives, not assumptions based on thin air. In modern terms, it's like justifying carjacking by saying it was probably prearranged with the owner—a shaky defense in a court of law, and hardly a robust moral example.
Concerning miracles, your acceptance of events like the resurrection and the feeding of the 5,000 without empirical evidence leans heavily on faith rather than reason. From an atheist viewpoint, endorsing these stories as factual without solid evidence undermines their credibility and detracts from any moral teachings they aim to convey. Miracles as proof of divinity demand extraordinary evidence, not just written accounts from centuries ago.
Moreover, your point about not over-analyzing these stories to appreciate their poetic value doesn't hold up if we are also asked to accept them as literal truth and moral guidance. The moral and ethical standards we follow should be clear and consistent, not subject to whimsical interpretation or reliant on supernatural justification.
Lastly, while these stories undoubtedly shape cultural and historical understanding, to suggest that their significance should prevent us from questioning their factual accuracy or moral integrity is to put tradition over truth. Just because something is deeply embedded in history doesn’t mean it’s beyond reproach or shouldn’t be reevaluated in light of new understanding and ethical developments.
So yes, while the influence of these narratives is profound, our interpretation and valuation of them must continually evolve, embracing skepticism and critical thinking as tools for understanding, not obstacles to it. In this way, we ensure that our moral compass is guided by reason and ethics, not blind faith or unexamined tradition.
As for " what bit of Jesus is not truthful and inspirational"
First, on truthfulness: many of the miraculous elements—like walking on water, turning water into wine, and rising from the dead—are scientifically implausible and lack external historical verification. These stories are sourced from texts written decades after the events they describe, by believers invested in promoting a particular theological agenda. This lack of contemporary evidence outside the biblical texts raises legitimate questions about their factual accuracy.
As for inspiration, while Jesus’ teachings on love, charity, and forgiveness are undoubtedly inspirational, other aspects of his reported teachings can be problematic. For instance, statements like those in Luke 14:26, where he suggests his followers must hate their family to be his disciples, or in Matthew 10:34, where he says he came not to bring peace but a sword, challenge the notion of him as a purely pacifistic or moral teacher. These passages suggest a more complex and sometimes contradictory figure, which can be less inspiring when scrutinized.
In both cases, if we're engaging critically and seeking a figure whose life and teachings are wholly truthful and inspirational by modern standards, these concerns must be addressed rather than glossed over.
Matt PhippsDom Lowe Tim Veater - I had no idea of the stories about taking donkeys and cursing fig trees. Interesting and I suspect that context of how they’re positioned will be key to understanding what was intended. I believe I am humanist. I don’t believe in God but I always thought I believed in Christian values (although that has been severely tested when I’ve come across bigotry and exclusion, so say because it’s in line with bible teachings) but maybe there is more against the values than I realised…? I shall stick with my own code for decision making ‘do I feel any shame and can I sleep at night’!
Dom Lowe I was watching a BBC i-player programme last night, on the 80's American 'Alamo' religious cult, where young people worked for nothing and made the founders millions. It turned sadistic and ended up beating and abusing the children, often with the besotted parent's permission. There are no hard and fast lines. Evil can definitely lurk under the cloak of religion as it can under any set of beliefs or none. The only reliable indicator is how, objectively, individuals and societies behave. On that we probably agree?
Matt Phipps Have just found this Matt, so apologies for not responding sooner. I can go along with a lot of what you think and say. When someone uncovers a fine tessellated Roman mosaic, they are uncovering real history but not the actual time, that can never be recaptured. There is a parallel with historical writings. We read them contemporaneously but they are in fact remnants of a different age and outlook, circumstances that we can hardly imagine. We cannot shake off our present world view, created by all the philosophical and technological events that have intervened. We may have gained but we may also have lost. In many ways we have become arrogant and self satisfied, materialistic and selfish to the detriment of our emotional and spiritual lives, even denying the existance of the latter. The evidence is all around both in behaviour and environmental impact. Impressive as they may be, I have always thought the likes of Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens to be rather sad characters, who have replaced one form of dogmatism for another. In the absence of Christianity it is a question we all ask ourselves, 'What do I in fact believe?' The world and universe is one big 'miracle' and not merely by virtue of the order of it all. Science has made us blaze, as if this is only to be expected. What if we applied the same scepticism to it as we do to Christ's reported miracles. A limitless universe of countless galaxies is just too fanciful to believe. In that context walking on water is a no brainer.
Tim Veater While the reflections on the uncovering of a Roman mosaic as a touchpoint to real history yet detached from its actual time are thoughtful, the subsequent critique of contemporary attitudes towards historical texts and modern thought leaders like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens deserve challenging. Firstly, the assertion that we are bound by our current worldviews to the point asof distorting historical understanding is an oversimplification. Historians and scholars continually refine their methods to approach historical contexts with as much neutrality and objectivity as possible, aware of their biases and striving to mitigate them. Furthermore, the claim that our modern society is more materialistic, arrogant, and has lost touch with emotional and spiritual realms is a sweeping generalisation that fails to recognise the breadth of modern philosophical and spiritual exploration which continues to thrive and diversify. This exploration includes, but is not limited to, a resurgence in interest in non-Western spiritual traditions, the rise of secular spirituality, and new philosophical movements that deeply engage with ethics, the environment, and technology. The denouncement of figures like Dawkins and Hitchens as "sad characters" who have merely swapped religious dogmatism for a secular one is to misunderstand their critique. Their arguments are not merely against religion per se but against unexamined authority and dogma. This is not a like-for-like exchange of dogmas but an advocacy for skepticism and rational inquiry, principles that have underpinned many of the advancements in human rights, science, and democratic governance. Regarding the dismissal of scientific understanding as leading to a blase attitude towards the universe's wonders, this view dramatically underestimates the capacity of science not just to demystify but to re-enchant our perception of the universe. The scientific revelations of a "limitless universe of countless galaxies" are not accepted blithely but have, on the contrary, deepened our sense of wonder and our thirst for knowledge. To equate the skepticism applied to supernatural claims with a dismissal of scientific discovery is to misunderstand the fundamental nature of scientific inquiry: it is an iterative, self-correcting process that adjusts its conclusions based on evidence, unlike the acceptance of supernatural phenomena which often requires a suspension of critical judgment. In summary, while historical insights indeed provide a rich tapestry from which we can learn, to dismiss contemporary society's engagement with these insights as shallow or misguided is to overlook the dynamic and multi-dimensional nature of modern scholarship and philosophical debate. The challenge is not whether we can recapture the past in its entirety, but whether we can learn from it critically and respectfully while applying rational thought to our current and future problems.
