The Continuing Conversation

I came across this delightful, quiet, British discussion. Just two people, discussing ideas, sharing in the common human experience. I find this to be a great encouragement and example of how two people, with differing beliefs, can work towards a common goal: the betterment of our collective journey through this existence.

I have to say I respect Richard Dawkins a lot more now than I did after reading "The God Dellusion", which, being a good book to refute the fundamentalist views of religion, is not a good book when it is used to attack all religious people. 

 

Any man or woman who can engage in causual discussion like that over such big issues and without screaming or yelling has my respect.

Thank you Inanna, haven't watched them all but that first 10 minutes was a pleasure and their dialogue reminded me of a Thomas Jefferson quote....

 

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

What is the name of this Bishop of Oxford?

 

Just answered my own question, it's Bishop Harris who was Bishop of Oxford from 1987-2006 until his retirement.

 

And yes I enjoyed listening to their conversations also, thanks!

Bill Moyers did a series on PBN and a book on Genesis and the main starting thread was about listening carefully to an opposing concept, regardlessof the source. If all people could speak quietly to one another we could learn something, but in a world driven by emotions as an ideal ... is this possible?

 

Cooperation is a social trait ... totally unacceptable as antosocialistic attitudes prevail and we hate listening to other rationales!

 

Does this happen to amuse the powers at different levels? God drives them and the devil watches in disbelief ... watching being a science ... and science is evil in an emotional dimension often spelled séance in the light of ... the shadow knows! That foci follows us everywhere ... the remnent of balance of Lovein Theo ... a deuce or just parse in a word?

 

Could we change a train of thought stuck in the mud? Das mother earth for yah ... a huge sole äis in heaven ... the beyond in myth! It is all upside down in the mortal mind reciprocal just for amusement of the powers outside this horrible Circe of exclusionary trends shaped by thought, intuition, feeling and sensation ... rarely in balance with what is seen outside this emotional square. It's  a Joie, the curiosity raised below ground zero by the sat-Ire burried but questioning silently: "Why do you suppose they would do such stoop ID things?"

 

Out of the darkness a Mir word ... "They can't read, they're illiterate, and don't know the 'hole story, (where in old grammer the "w" is sometimes silent too as a thought Omega'd did they do that)!" If they only read about the corrupt tales of their past that follow unconsciously! Well they didn't wish to know and how would an incarnation of Light transmit such intellect but ... subliminally? It a grand game of Furies and Muses alike ... providing a stormy end ... like Ahab sinking into a pool.

 

Did you ever read that book? It can change your life ... like encountering a Chimera burning in a small vessel ... aL la' Din (prime for a Reuben) ... merry chaos above at the image of what goes on below! Mutant Message From Down Under is also another grand farce! It speaks of a naked laid-E, docter-in the outback ... a grand metaphor of thei's ole thing ... learning in a harsh Light of aboriginal surroundings of King George ... nothing but emotional responses! Sound familiar? Ego 've Eumerus nature ... sees that somethings bound to change with a Nous!
