I have posted stuff by Sir Ken Robinson before, and as always it is brilliant.

This is good by Dan Pink!

Jay bakker, Tony Campolo and Brian Mclaren share some thoughts on gay issues. Worth a look and a think.

Tony Campolo says the following in this video:Many people say; love the sinner but I hate the sin, but that is the opposite of what Jesus said. He never said love the sinner but hate

the sin. He said hate your own sin. That is a good place to start.

Brian Mclaren

Mclaren asks,what do I do with those who dont believe what I believe about this issue? Do I cut them off

? Acceptance and approval are they the same thing? My acceptance is not conditioned on my approval.

Jay Bakker is the pastor of this church in New York.

In this short RSA Animate, renowned philosopher Slavoj Zizek investigates the surprising ethical implications of charitable giving.

It is certainly worth a watch and a think.

Is “a terrorist” and “Muslim” the same thing?

A mistake that lies at the very core of this particular discussion is how media and also many faith(Evangelical and mainline churches,Catholic and protestant, Jewish communities etc), political parties (in the states the democrats and Republicans united on this one) and anti faith movements( like all the new atheists Dawkins, Harris etc) had a field day in linking the fundamentalist maniac terrorist Islam with All Islam.

When Muslims want to build a mosque in New york (which we now know is not a mosque but a faith community far from ground zero) we look at them as the same people who flew into the twin towers.

This is really a grave mistake, the two fields of faith are as far from each other as Night is dark and day is light. I certainly don’t want to be put in the same Christian category as maniac terrorist Christians in India,Northern Ireland, Russia or Uganda (where the christian terrorist groups are known for there usage of children soldiers) who blow up Muslims and others who do not believe as they do. See this is the mistake we now are doing with Muslims who wish to build mosques wherever they want to. They, like us, have nothing to do with terrorism, and want nothing to do

with it. As we find it offensive to be linked with christian,Jewish or western terrorists they find it offensive that we even think the thought.

Only when we put all Muslims in the category “terrorist” will building a mosque in New York be a sick and horrendous provocation. And when we don’t, it certainly isn’t a provocation.
Now if we still want to put them in the same category as terrorists, my thoughts below might be food for thought;

My firstborn daughter Agnes was born 28 july 2010. She is as you can see very beautiful.
