“Religions have been universal in the sense that all the people we know anything about have had a religion. But the differences among them are so great and so shocking that any common element that can be extracted is meaningless.... The older apologists for Christianity seem to have been better advised than some modern ones in condemning every religion but one as an impostor, as at bottom some kind of demon worship or at any rate a superstitious figment.” PeopleKnowsKindHas BeensSeemsDifferencesCommonChristianityAtheismModernElementsWorshipUniversalBottomRatePositive AtheismDemonMeaninglessShockingSuperstitiousCondemningFigments Book:The Essential Dewey: Pragmatism, education, democracy Source: The Essential Dewey: Pragmatism, education, democracy
“Disrespect also can take the form of idealizing you and putting you on a pedestal as a perfect woman or goddess, perhaps treating you like a piece of fine china. The man who worships you in this way is not seeing you; he is seeing his fantasy, and when you fail to live up to that image he may turn nasty. So there may not be much difference between the man who talks down to you and the one who elevates you; both are displaying a failure to respect you as a real human being and bode ill.” MenWayHumansMayRealFormTurnsDifferencesHuman BeingsPerfectFantasyPiecesFailingSeeingHe ManFineWorshipIllChinaGoddessNastyDisrespectPedestalReal HumanPerfect WomanWorship YouFine China Author:Lundy Bancroft
“The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: Both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun.” MenChristianChristDifferencesCommonPaySunWorshipPaidAdorationParodyMasonry Book:Complete Works Source: Complete Works

“We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship.” WellsHomeTogetherFunDifferencesPrayerSimpleLove IsStudyDivineKeysApproachWorshipAppreciateHarmonyDinnerEveningHaving FunSundayTake TimeSimple ThingsLove RelationshipCommonalityFamily RelationshipLoving FamilyJust Have FunLike FamilyFamily HomeFamily DinnerFamily Prayer Author:Dieter F.
