our religion is a religion of peace.  why can't we keep peace then with those who worship the same god in different ways?   

Or, for that matter, another god--or non-god--who doesn't in any way oppress us?

Hmm, maybe you have everything else she has, except alcohol?

The Munchkin cat is a mutation with unusually short legs.

The Munchkin cat is a mutation with unusually short legs. Controversy surrounds the breed because some believe them to have a genetic "defect", however, the reality is that these seem to be rather healthy and happy cats with no specific health issues associated with the breed. They are not only generally hardy but surprisingly agile as well, able to leap and run, play and pounce with ease. The physical appeal is hard to deny, but these little cats are known for their sweet, people-loving nature as well. Recent crosses with other pure-breeds has led to some fascinating varieties. Crossed with the Sphinx you get a Minskin, crossed with the LaPerm is a Skookum, crossed with a Selkirk Rex is a Lambkin, crossed with a Bengal is a Genetta. There are surely more varieties to come, since the infusion of new blood into the gene pool is required to keep the Munchkin healthy. Breeding two standard Munchkins together can result in high birth mortality. - http://www.cat-breeds-encyclopedia.com/

Matud pa nga nasuko si Joavan kang Largo dihang wala mohatag sa numero sa agalon niini sa gitrabahoang Danryan Marketing nga usa ka car shop diha sa Cebu South Coastal Road.

Kuyawa gud, kon mao ray hinungdan...

Si Lim nagkanayon nga bisitahon nila ang pamilyang Largo ug tan-awon niya kung unsay iyang mahatag nga tabang.

Sa laing bahin, base sa report si Joavan mipasangil nga dunay bulok sa politika ang pasangil batok kaniya ug si Largo giingong gigamit lang kini sa politiko aron pagdaot kaniya ug maapektohan ang iyang amahan kinsa mikandidato karon pagka- konsehal sa siyudad.

Apan si Largo nagkanayon nga bisan kanus-a wala siya magkuyog-kuyog og politiko diin ang iyang trabaho kaniadto pagpangarga lang diha sa Carbon Market ug nagmaneho og traysikad ug nalipay siya dihang gitanyagan siya og trabaho sa tag-iya sa car shop ug sweldohan og P1,000 ang semana.

Sa nahitabo kaniya karon magping-it na usab sa tumang kalisud ang iyang pamilya tungod kay dili man siya makatrabaho.

Matud pa nga nasuko si Joavan kang Largo dihang wala mohatag sa numero sa agalon niini sa gitrabahoang Danryan Marketing nga usa ka car shop diha sa Cebu South Coastal Road.

Si Largo kinsa nakaangkon og mga samad pinusilan sa iyang duha ka bukton nakagawas na kini sa tambalanan niadtong Biyernes sa hapon.

Human sa hitabo ang pamilyang Largo nabalaka sa siguridad sa ilang kinabuhi ilabi na sa tulo nila ka mga anak.

Apan samtang wala pa mosurender si Joavan giklaro ni Lim nga padayon gihapon ang ilang hot pursuit operation batok sa anak sa mayor kinsa gipasanginlang namusil sa usa ka Eduardo Largo Jr. diha sa San Isidro, Talisay City niadtong Huwebes sa kaadlawon.

Matud ni Lim nga ang saad sa mayor pagtahan sa iyang anak gisulti na usab niya kini ngadto sa hepe sa kapolisan sa probinsiya Senior Superintendent Patrocinio Comendador.

Karong Lunes gikatakdang pasakaan og kasong frustrated murder si Joavan diha sa piskaliya sa Talisay human nakaluwat na og affidavit ang biktima.

It said her family could not accept the allegation that she committed suicide as she "had no serious problems that will lead her to end even her own life."

The hacktivists, who also included an image of a person wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, challenged Philippine authorities and even political candidates running in the May 13 polls to act.

"To all the government authorities and all political candidates who oath to serve and protect the rights of each citizens... this is the right time to do your actions," they said.

A report on Bahrain's Gulf Daily News dated April 10 cited sources who said Ilagan, 32, was found hanging in a bathroom at the Philippine embassy's shelter for abused domestic workers.

It said another resident in the shelter found her, but embassy officials were unavailable for comment.

Her body was transferred to the Salmaniya Medical Complex morgue, it added. â€" LBG, GMA News

Hacktivists on Saturday defaced the website of the Philippine Embassy in Bahrain, following the death of an overseas Filipino worker there.

As of 5 a.m. Saturday, visitors to the site of the Philippine embassy in Bahrain were greeted with a popup box with the message "Justice for Kathleen Ann Ilagan!"

The defacement was still live as of 12:50 p.m. Saturday.

Clicking on "Ok" will take the visitor to a page with a black background and a black ribbon calling for "Justice for Ann Ann."

The message in the defaced site said Ilagan was found dead in the Bahrain Embassy, in an alleged suicide.

"Earlier this month, she left her job and proceeded to the Philippine embassy and sought repatriation. She was admitted at the Philippine embassy’s shelter while attending on her case and repatriation," it said.

The remainder of Curiosity challenges common assumptions about the Scientific Revolution, exploring much like Vannevar Bush did more than half a century ago, the evolving role of curiosity in the face of “the knee-trembling quantity of information we have at our fingertips” through the lives and minds of such revered scientists as Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton.

Wonder, on the other hand, had an element of unquestioning submission that resonated with the religious tradition:

"The central problem with curiosity was that it was thought to be motivated by excessive pride. The accumulation of pointless learning ran the risk not that one would become another Lucifer but that one would primp and preen rather than bow one’s head before the Lord. ‘O curiosity! O vanity!’, cried the late twelfth-century theologian Alexander Neckam. ‘O vain curiosity! O curious vanity!’

The imperative of pious humility was what commended wonder to Augustine at the same time as it indicted curiosity. There was nothing frivolous or hedonistic about wonder. It instilled awe, reminding us of our powerlessness and insignificance before the glory of God. That is why wonder in the face of nature’s splendour was seen as the educated response, and a willingness to believe in marvels and prodigies was not only praiseworthy but virtually a religious duty. Curiosity, like scepticism, was a sign that you lacked devotion and faith.:

"Or, as the King James version has it:

Be not curious in unnecessary matters:
For more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.

St Paul was considered to have echoed this sentiment in the admonition ‘Seek not to know high things.’ The fact that he did not actually write this at all speaks volumes in itself, suggesting that the mistranslation fitted with prevailing prejudice. … ‘Do not take pride in the arts or sciences,’ wrote Thomas à Kempis in the fifteenth century, ‘rather, fear what has been told to you.’"

Though on the surface wonder might appear infused with the poetic energy of awe, there’s also an element of docile faith to it, contrary to the active engagement of curiosity. In fact, Bell demonstrates how this very dichotomy grew central to Christian Scripture, where the extinguishing of curiosity â€" as Galileo learned the hard way â€" became a mechanism of intellectual oppression, one necessary for preserving the “wonder” of faith:

"That some knowledge was forbidden to humankind is of course central to the Christian Creation myth: this is the basis of the Fall. ‘When you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God’, the serpent tells Eve of the fruit on the tree of knowledge. The transgressive aspect of curiosity is an insistent theme in Christian theology. Time and again the student of the Bible is warned to respect the limits of enquiry and to be wary of too much learning. ‘The secret things belong to the Lord our God’, proclaims Deuteronomy. Solomon (if it was he who wrote Ecclesiastes) cautions that:

with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more grief.

In his popular emblem book Iconologia (1593) showing classical personifications of the human qualities, the Italian author Cesare Ripa depicted curiosity as a wild, disheveled woman, driving home the message in the caption: ‘Curiosity is the unbridled desire of those who seek to know more than they should.’

Among Ball’s most fascinating observations is the contrast between curiosity and wonder, a tension arguably reconciled in the eloquent definition of science as “systematic wonder” but an enduring tension nonetheless:

"For the Greeks, curiosity was not even a clearly articulated concept. To the extent that it was acknowledged at all, it stands in contrast to its mercurial sibling, wonder. Aristotle believed that all humans naturally desire knowledge, but he felt that curiosity (periergia) had little role to play in philosophy. It was a kind of aimless, witless tendency to pry into things that didn’t concern us. Wonder (thauma) was far more significant, the true root of enquiry: ‘It is owing to their wonder,’ he wrote, ‘that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize.’ … Until the seventeenth century, wonder was esteemed while curiosity was reviled."

In Curiosity: How Science Became Interested in Everything, British writer Philip Ball traces the cultural history of curiosity across its rollercoaster of popular favor:

"It has always been a complaint leveled at curiosity that it is the enemy of productivity, an unwelcome distraction from our daily duties. Meanwhile, the Enlightenment’s mockers of curiosity were … often not utilitarian Gradgrinds but gossipy, solipsistic wits and libertines. And a surfeit of information has always given cause for grumbling. Alexander Pope felt that the printing press, ‘a scourge for the sins of the learned,’ would lead to ‘a deluge of Authors [that] covered the land.’ … But it is clear that the first ‘professors of curiosity’ who flourished in the century of Pope’s birth had to work tremendously hard to get their knowledge, and curiosity was, before profit or fame or reputation, their most significant motivation."

From Aristotle to St. Paul, or how rational thought and religion battled over knowledge.





“The important thing is not to stop questioning… Never lose holy curiosity,” Albert Einstein counseled in 1955. Iconic science fiction writer Isaac Asimov has hailed curiosity as the key to discovery. Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the greatest scientific minds of our time, has proclaimed it central to our DNA. And yet curiosity hasn’t always enjoyed such ample cultural endorsement â€" in 1605, for instance, even the father of the scientific method admonished against its dark side.

George, the archbishop of Chicago, dismissed speculation that one area of Francis' reforms would involve closing the Vatican bank, the Institute for Works of Religion, which has long been a source of scandal for the Vatican.

Doing so would be financial suicide for the Vatican, since it currently provides the pope with about 50 million euros ($65 million) a year in investment income. The bank invests assets of its account holders, money that would have to be returned if it were to close.

Lombardi has said any speculation about the IOR's possible closure "is purely hypothetical and isn't based on any believable or concrete facts."
