Religious Feelings Or Religion Versus Feelings

Ku Klux Klan Rally 1923

“Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”

Steven Weinberg, Conference on Cosmic Design, April 1999

Feeling is simply "to feel". The word was first used in the English language to describe the physical sensation of touch through either experience or perception. The word is also used to describe experiences, other than the physical sensation of touch, such as "a feeling of warmth".

The First International: Remembering Bakunin

Whenever I remember Bakunin, the thought pattern revolve simaltaneously around Proudhon and Courbets nudes and bathers!Courbets canvass' are statements reflecting the toiling mass that Bakunin wanted to be empowerd.Seeing a Courbet nude Prodhon exclaimed: oh, you and your bourgeois fat women!If Prodhon was going nearer to the canvass he could have seen that the models feet were dirty!Like all other models of Courbet she was also a prostitute!

Glitter And Greed: Naomi Campbell And Her Bloodied Bed Time Stories



On July 1, 2010, Super model Naomi Campbell was summoned by the war crimes trial against ex-Liberian president Charles Taylor at the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone in Leidschendam near The Hague to give evidence on receiving a "blood diamond". Not appearing at the trial as summoned is punishable by up to 7 years in prison. Despite initially refusing to attend, Campbell was eventually subpoenad and appeared as scheduled as a witness for the prosecution on August 5, 2010.

It's ironical that Cambell  who has just been forced to testify against indicted African warlord Charles Taylor  once went out with Leonardo De Caprio who played the rough South African smuggler in the the film  Blood Diamond!In the United Nations terminology these diamonds are coined as Conflict Diamonds.
