I have been teaching for more than two decades in the United States and now in Europe. Higher education and especially the humanities are being challenged. Studying philosophy and world religions matter.

The Zionist and the fundamentalist both confuse faith, beliefs and doctrines with extreme nationalism. The end result is loss of religiosity in the long term and the secularization factor.

In the true Christian poet - in Dante, St. John of the Cross, St. Francis, Jacopone da Todi, Hopkins, Paul Claudel - we find it hard to distinguish between the inspiration of the prophet and mystic, and the purely poetic enthusiasm of great artistic genius.

Trump's blaming game is diabolical. Instead of bringing the nation together he tears it apart. This is not the sign of a good leader but of a tyrant wannabe. Speak Truth to power. Bear witness to your inner values. Resist nonsense and injustice of all kinds.

Blaming game. Trump is using the demonic to continue his dirty politics. This time blaming diversity and inclusion policies from Obama. Is he a racist and an extremely far right politician? Go figure!

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: β€œWe grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

"Engaged Buddhism is just Buddhism. When bombs begin to fall on people, you cannot stay in the meditation hall all of the time. Meditation is about the awareness of what is going on - not only in your body and in your feelings, but all around you."

How stupid is this argument? Materialism reduces everything to a limited and finite way of living in this vast universe. We are seeing the implications of its nihilistic nonsense.

A ceasefire-hostage deal in Gaza has been reached. This is welcome, long-overdue news. Both sides must honor it.

The killing must stop. The hostages must be released. The UN must be allowed to provide humanitarian aid. There must be accountability for war crimes by both sides.

The roots of European history, culture and civilizations are often ignored or forgotten. Europe was pagan before the continent was evangelized by Christians. And Islamic civilization and culture became a way of life for many European kingdoms.

Yes, Rabbi Heschel walked elbow to elbow with Dr. King and other religious leaders in Selma. Heschel was one of the few Jewish leaders to walk the walk as a sign of solidarity with African Americans.

Dr. King nominated Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Award but he never won it. Nhat Hanh was a good friend of Thomas Merton and Jim Forest, all members of the Fellowship for Reconciliation.
