“There is such a thing as righteous judgment, but it seems that lately the word 'judgment' has become a curse word, period. The issue isn't whether or not we're insightful enough to avoid being judgmental, but whether or not we're secure enough to accept being judged. It is inevitable for every conscious human being to judge. It may spring from insight and experience and sincerity, and in such cases, it is quite beneficial on the receiving end.” HumansMayEndsEnoughSeemsHuman BeingsAcceptingCasesIssuesJudgingPeriodsJudgmentSpringConsciousInsightSecureInevitableCurseInsightfulSincerityJudgedReceivingRighteousBeneficialJudgmentalBeing JudgedCurse WordsBeing Judgmental Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“I wonder whether I might have meant "terrify us" but perhaps as well there was a less than conscious effort to show that the suppression of debate about Palestine and about the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement - within many academic circles - does seek to establish those who would address such issues in speech as already collaborating with "terrorist" regimes, although now only Hamas is officially terrorist according to the US government and its allies.” WellsDoeShowsGovernmentMightEffortWonderIssuesMovementSpeechConsciousDebateCirclesTerroristAddressesAlliesRegimesAcademicPalestineSanctionsSuppressionHamasBoycottCollaborating Author:Judith Butler

“Christians are usually sincere and well-intentioned people until you get to any real issues of ego, control power, money, pleasure, and security. Then they tend to be pretty much like everybody else. We often given a bogus version of the Gospel, some fast-food religion, without any deep transformation of the self; and the result has been the spiritual disaster of "Christian" countries that tend to be as consumer-oriented, proud, warlike, racist, class conscious, and addictive as everybody else-and often more so, I'm afraid.” PeopleWellsHas BeensRealSelfCountryChristianSpiritualGivenPleasureResultsClassIssuesSecurityProudEgoConsciousTransformationDisasterVersionsConsumersRacistSincereFast Food Author:Richard Rohr
