Lists of...

Questions:
1. Is it possible that one has to go backward morally in order to go forward compassionately? Or, is it possible to attain the highest morality and be truly compassionate with others?

2. If Jesus is an atonement sacrifice, why Passover? There is nothing remotely connected to atonement within Passover, so why choose that as the day of Crucifixion, if the point of the sacrifice is atonement? Why not Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) that would make more sense?

Books I want to write:
1. God:The Humanist
2. Neither Science nor Religion: Getting Beyond the Tools of Tribalism
3. Orthopraxy: A Postmodern Christian Ethic
4. The Penitent God: God as an Example of Repentance
5. Looking to Perfection: God as an Example of Attainable Perfection

Books I want to read:
1. United States v. George Bush, et al.
2. Palestine: Peace not Apartheid
3. Thy Kingdom Come

P.S. I had more to say at the beginning of finals, but now it's all gone...*sigh*

I'm willing to consult with you on 'orthopraxy' if you like! I would enjoy that!
