ullangoo saidwe know human sacrifice from many so-called primitive religions. Human sacrifice was so common till 1945 in Japan. Thinking the fact that Jewish tradition prohibited followers from making human sacrifice in times of Abraham, Jewish society was much more advanced than that of one East Asian country.

I think killing (and eating) children has always been extremely rare. Basic human instincts haven't changed that much.On the other hand: we know human sacrifice from many so-called primitive religions. There are indications that they at least sometimes were done with the victim's consent. What Abraham performs is obviously a cult ritual - the altar and so on.

I'm no expert on the Jewish tradition, but in those I know better, myths have been preserved orally for no one knows how long. While the substance of the story - the events - is usually preserved, the why and wherefore undergo many changes. Sometimes the interpretations become almost nonsensical.As far as I know, no forerunner of the Abraham story is preserved in writing, but it's likely there was one. The Torah was thoroughly edited around 500 b.c.e., I've been taught.

Btw: the Islamic tradition claims that it was Ismael, Abraham's son with Hagar, that he almost sacrificed. Nowadays a sheep is sacrificed every year on the assumed day.

Read Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" for a radical and religious insight into this story.Then there's always Leonard Cohen's classic song "Story of Isaac":
The door it opened slowly,My father he came in, I was nine years old.And he stood so tall above me,His blue eyes they were shiningAnd his voice was very cold.He said, I've had a visionAnd you know I'm strong and holy,I must do what I've been told.So he started up the mountain,I was running, he was walking,And his axe was made of gold.Well, the trees they got much smaller,The lake a lady's mirror,We stopped to drink some wine.Then he threw the bottle over.Broke a minute laterAnd he put his hand on mine.Thought I saw an eagleBut it might have been a vulture,I never could decide.Then my father built an altar,He looked once behind his shoulder,He knew I would not hide.You who build these altars nowTo sacrifice these children,You must not do it any more.A scheme is not a visionAnd you never have been temptedBy a demon or a god.You who stand above them now,Your hatchets blunt and bloody,You were not there before,When I lay upon a mountainAnd my fathers hand was tremblingWith the beauty of the word.And if you call me brother now,Forgive me if I inquire,Just according to whose plan?When it all comes down to dustI will kill you if I must,I will help you if I can.When it all comes down to dustI will help you if I must,I will kill you if I can.And mercy on our uniform,Man of peace or man of war,The peacock spreads his fan.

Ok, you believe in God and every night and day you pray. God is invisible and keeps silent. One day you insist God ordered to kill your son. Are you going to do by order of invisible silent being? It is better for us to take God for his conscience. The situation Abraham had to consider killing his only son is nothing but for Abraham's own sake. It is natural for us to guess that he must have had a time of starvation.

Yes, the test interpretation is the traditional one. It's not logical to me. If God knows everything, he'd know what Abraham would do, so why put him - and Isaac! - through that? For all I know, the myth may be a memory of a time when human sacrifice was practiced.

Mer - the last thing a parent would do if the family starved was to kill his/her children. Most parents would rather kill themselves so that the children could survive. It's an insane interpretation. Abraham, I think, was used to getting answers from God. Personally, if I received such a message: that I had to kill my child or any child, I'd go looking for another object of worship.

In Hebrew Biblical times there is one description that parents killed their child to feed themselves in time of extreme starvation. I think it's not uncommon for ancient people to eat their kids.

Very sorry for my understanding, but this incident suggests Abraham was so hungry that he was about to kill his only son to eat. Abraham didn't have to kill his only son only because he found something to eat other than his son. Thus he thanked God. God was only allowed to kill children to feed their parents themselves.
Basically God never asks to offer his follower's only son except for emergency like an extreme starvation.

As you know Abraham was about to kill his only son Issac with a request of God to offer as a sacrifice.Somebody told me his interpretation that Abraham was so staved that he had to ask his God if he could kill his only son to feed himself. God said Ok only anyone can kill their kids on the verge of their starvation. Abraham didn't have to kill his only son only because he was fed by something other than his son.I don't think it's not likely though anyway Abraham thanked God as a result.Let me hear your interpretation.

In a movie a young volunteer soldier who is a student of philosophy and history back in Italy abruptly uttered looking at the strange signs scratched on the surface of the big rock asked whether the rock was at the time of Roman rule by his comrade that the ruins then they are dates back to 10,000 years ago before Romans came.The author probably suggested that El Alamein was neither Briton's, Germans nor Italians.By the way, no women appeared in the movie.
The result he never imagined
Hess flew to Scotland with the hope of negotiating peace with his counterpart. He was arrested. He was never released till his death at age 93. The last release was done by himself. It was the only freedom he was allowed.
He said as if all were indicted for nothing but accusation created falsely. Hess was arrested in 1941. Throughout the war he was out of sight. Everything after he was arrested was out of his sight. Hess's analogy Nuremberg trial & Great Purge in Russia interests me a lot. He was inappropriate for Nuremberg trial at all. Yet the reason it was done was pure political, not criminal at all.
Was he 34th victim?
2007.10.07 22:38
A man who killed 33 young guys confessed at the moment of his execution that he will be the 34th victim of his murder.I am neither a serial killer nor want to know the mind of murderer though presumably what he wanted to say was that he killed 33 people with inevitable force as he is about to be executed by it.Or inevitable fate I should say.

Hess & Hoess

Rudolf Hess and Rudolf Hoess... Rudolf Hess was a deputy Fuehrer and fled to Scotland before Barbarossa to negotiate peace with Britain. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and he kept on custody from 1941 to 1987. He was not released even in a short time. It was natural if we thought about the position of Russia, Russia was about to face hypothetical German-Britain Allied. Rudolf Hoess was a commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp. He was sentenced to death in Poland, 1947.In Japan's phonetic system, two names are completely the same, but the roles in war was very different. We were told not to confuse when we first encounter two names in our school. I took him for another one when I saw first in more than twenty years in a documentary program. I had been not always aware of those two differences.I must add that presumably Rudolf Hess was not to be regarded as a war criminal. His times overwhelmed a fate of one man. It was his tragedy.

When I was 23 to 24 I was very fond of reading tens of war records as to Nazis, Soviets, etc. in World War II. I must say he didn't do what he had to feel remorse. He stopped doing what he was ordered by Hitler if it weren't acceptable from his point of view based solely upon his conscience. He didn't do anything against his conscience even if they were ordered by Hitler, and I could guess Hitler allowed Speer to do so. I mean Hitler wanted Speer to act according to Speer's own moral standard. Hitler didn't expect Speer to just follow Hitler's order. This is my impression judging from many books as far as I read.

The story goes that appeared to show remorse for what he had done and enabled to be done. He was appearently the only senior nazi leader to do so, so he got the lighter sentence.

After sentenced in 20 year imprisonment, being asked by one of his prosecutors in Allied countries what was the key to succeed, Speer replied that it is to make the most of your charisma.Speer won the last oppotunity whether he was sentenced to death or reduced his charge. Probably his prosecutors started thinking he is too charismatic to be killed.

Probably his prosecutors started thinking he is too charismatic to be killed.

tortoiseboy2 said Is there something about Japanese society that encourages this kind of idol worship? Nice to meet you..Yes, it is. Very much so. Japanese people in general don't have self-confidence at all. Therefore they tend to project their objective of worship to heroes, beauties, and the celebrities of their own nationalities. The activities of Ichiro, Matsui have nothing to do with them, yet Japanese people tend to believe they are excellent partly because of their racial background, not their personal skill.

the War and Peace or the Philosophy or Nietzsche
These issues are also some of my main concerns, I will keep on writing about them.
I think I am euphoric, optimistic, and extremely confident, people might think I am megalomaniac, but my life showed I was not megalomaniac. I am going be famous when I want to be so.
mercedo wrote today at 12:45 AM
I am 46 years old and more and more guys from my generation start appearing in TV, magazine, etc. I feel impatient. I think I was able to be famous when I was just over twenty if I wanted, but it was completely unacceptable for me to be just known to local people, namely Japanese.
Still I need a great compromise to be famous only in Japan.

I don't know. Sometimes I take a little time to "warm up", and some days I'm plain antisocial. However, my friends are good ones.The outer layer isn't the most interesting bit, and it is ideas that make me wake up. Good conversation with people who don't blur the world into easy categories is stimulating over and above social niceties in my experience.

Indeed I assume you are one of Westerners who established self through dialogue to God. Your morals must be very strict, steady, and firm as your faith to God.

ginaslove saidI think he meant ,it is a virtue not to touch a woman but if it's in your needs to have ,then take a wife and be with her .
In fact, any woman wants a man to be serious enough eventually to get married to her before she agrees to go out with him. Serious relationship is essential to us.

Restructure -that leads to war
Oct 1, '07 1:42 AMfor everyone
Restructure ...the word seems nice but in reality it means dismissal from someone's job.
As a result of restructure, the number of the unemployed increases.
War offers perfect situation for the unemployed to a job by becoming a soldier and construction or manufacturing opportunity for the damage.
War occurs usually after the major change of social strata.

Chore
Oct 1, '07 1:16 AMfor everyone
Chore...it's not a nice word.
Many people believe usually housewives do chore but I don't believe so. I do chore.
But more and more I've been changing my opinion, especially after I had love with a girlfriend.
Women are usually passive in love affair in our case, I don't know as to your case though.
After the banquet, I am as if I run through long distance race. Instead she is like a woman who were flown by the very rhythmical tide. She looks very vigorous. All the more I am exhausted.
She is doing chore, like washing glasses and cleaning tables.
I am temporarily at a lost.
