Jesus Is Not Republican - A...

Kate Rice

This sassy memoir by a party girl with a broken heart takes an irreverent look at religious teachings that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong. And in telling her story, she shows how the right hijacked Jesus—and gives moderates and progressives of all faiths and of no faith a recipe for taking back God, flag and country. 
Here are revelations, Kate Rice style. For example, the Apostle Paul says (in ancient Greek), shit happens. (Corinthians 6; 1-13). Also, Bible wasn’t written in English. It was written Aramaic, Hebrew and ancient Greek. A literal interpretation of the Bible is impossible. 
She introduces the tatted up minister who preaches the joy of sex, church-going progressives standing strong in a rural America that is not as red as you think, and believers and non-believers who work together! 
This battle-scarred veteran of three different religions explains our nation’s wrestling match with religion, politics, and sex by viewing it through the prism of her own struggles. She pokes fun at hypocrites but shows love and respect for true people of faith. And then she gives us all a pep talk about what we can do to keep our nation one that guarantees freedom for all.

Egyptian Symbolism - The Meaning...

Omar Khalil

Egyptian symbolism is one of the most captivating aspects of ancient Egyptian culture, reflecting their deeply spiritual worldview and providing insight into their daily lives, religious practices, and understanding of the universe. From the majestic pyramids to the intricate hieroglyphs on temple walls, symbolism played a crucial role in conveying meanings that went beyond the literal. It was a tool to communicate with the gods, mark divine power, and ensure continuity in both life and the afterlife.
At the heart of Egyptian symbolism was the belief that the world was filled with hidden meanings and spiritual forces, each symbol carrying its own power. This belief was manifested in art, architecture, rituals, and even the everyday objects used by the ancient Egyptians. Symbols were not just representations; they were believed to hold an active force that could influence the material world and the spiritual realm. For example, the Ankh, a symbol resembling a cross with a loop at the top, represented life and was often used in funerary texts to ensure immortality for the deceased.
In Egyptian society, symbols were central to religious practices. The gods and goddesses, each represented by specific symbols and animal forms, embodied different aspects of life, death, and the cosmos. The sun god Ra, for instance, was depicted as a falcon, symbolizing both the sun’s power and the bird's dominance in the sky. The scarab beetle, a symbol of rebirth and protection, was commonly used in amulets and artifacts, signifying the cyclical nature of life and the hope for resurrection.
