in other words, how to transform our subjective experiences of body? The male gaze is taught. An OCD relation to body is pandemic, and the puritan-response (cover, hide, deny) only intensifies the maladjustment & reinforces the compulsion. It affects not just art but our most basic self-acceptance.

Unlike the Quran, the Mufaddaliyat offers much well-written pre-Islamic poetry written in Arabic. The Quran itself will condemn poets, but for 250 years after Rome fell to an intolerant Christianity in the 300s, it was in the Arabian East that free thought continued to flourish.

“a new sect denounces mixed bathing. It also decries the Games for ‘immoral nudity’. At night its devotees smash statues & vandalize shrines, bawling ‘Hide the body; fear Spirit’ and ‘only One God!’

“Imagine, hah! - a world legally compelling body-clothing and gender apartheid. Ridiculous!”

I’m off topic. Sorry. I’m also atheist. And can’t help adding that none of these sayings are from “Jesus”. The Jesus Seminar (150 top CHRISTIAN scholars - [see the 1 of 5 pages who’s who]) find very very VERY little authentic in the gospels. 90%+ NOT genuine. Again, not your point. Apologies …

Religion and democracy are antithetical: a “Lord” controls our fate OR people steer their own course. 🇺🇸 has allowed ✝️ to consume minds ⤵️ to theocracy

Who am I to “allow” ✝️?
Who do I have to be?

Prosperity ✝️, tax breaks: religion is a BUSINESS making $$ spreading an authoritarian superstition

Open to the water, not sealed shut, with only a single-bladed paddle, & positioned higher in relation to the balance-point, navigating whitewater by playboat/canoe is exponentially more difficult than by kayak! Just sitting still in these high-performance craft is challenging!

I’ve studied many a #Bible from a dozen perspectives. Save you the trouble: IT’S NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. Try Diogenes Laertius for opening the mind

But if U feel U MUST Bible study, then by far the 2-volume set publ’d by the Jesus Seminar is the most informative

No-Superstitionists get LOUD!!

Wear any-old-how our atom-symbol: on sleeve or hat or a tattoo; a button; jewelry … Get creative! Oppose the resurgence of religion with its book-banning, erasing women, anti-LGBTQ2, nature-hating. Answer back with “Nones!”

Gary Snyder 1990 essay
on integrating seemingly contrary attitudes towards nature to achieve an experience of wholeness. He combines 12 years of serious zen study in Japan with deep experience of the U.S. northwest mountains. The feel of the passage reminds me of your post

It actually does astonish me to hear persons mention “God” as if they actually do believe #God really is real. ASTONISHES me!
I’m naive

So many persons, in fact, that politicians have calculated that it gains votes to mention “God” in their public speeches!
