Yo más bien diría que Dios es un escritor de tragedias, y lo digo con todo el respeto. Bueno.. también le hace a la épica, a la comedia, a la sátira...

Well, those murals were painted decades before liberation theology was a reali idea. In Universidad Nacional de Colombia is a big painting of Ernesto Che Guevara. In front of it, is a big one of Camilo Torres Restrepo.

This reminds me a grandson of a General called Carlos Prats, who was tortured and assesinated under Pinochet´s regime. About 2 years ago Pinochet died, and Prat's grandson spat on his face at the funeral.

Happy B'day Noam Chomsky! This is one of the people who knows most about colombian socio-political problems

Really lovely post. It is not only to be prophetic among we humans, but also in our relation with nature.

And the PACE flag looks quite similar to Gay-pride one. Peace be with them too.

Without losing our usual approach, It would be really interesting to have discussions with conservative evangelicals, as well as other important groups. What could Dawkins et al say about christians like Shane Claiborne et al?

As a latino (more exactly colombian) I feel very touched by your article. May God still bless you.

Ps: I remember someday my fahter told me "it is not that the mexicans are ilegally trespassing the border; they have been there before "gringos" expanded to the southwest".

This about "self-selecting groups" sounds a little like kin-selection, kin-selected altruism, and all this stuff

Re: Striving for a Just Peace without the Myth of Redemptive Violence

Mr Jennings and Mr McClellan:

Both of you state that you're theologically conservatives. How much difficult is "lobbying" for pacifism with conservative christians? Is there something we could call "christian-conservative pacifism"?

Re: When is it ok to be a jerk?

mountainguy — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:00:23 -0000

Well... it seems some of us believe in the myth of the redemptive verbal violence ;)

Re: When is it ok to be a jerk?

mountainguy — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:13:50 -0000

Well.. yesterday I was reading a blog called somethin like "biblicism.wordpress". The guys there are theologically conservative. I even made a comment, that was answered by one of the admins. No one was angered, so there didn't happened anything. Anyway, after reviewing more entries there (I agreed with a few) I found a link to the blog of a guy called "Brandenburg". At this new blog I foun an entry when this man criticised the "liberal media" and found support for Bush because "War on terror is a dificult issue, and he gave his best". This guy also said that there wasn't any compny interested in oil drilling in Iraq... I didn't make any comment, and thanks God for that...

But well... I'm a little democratic. Last weekend I found at youtube a video of some Chmosky's thoughts about religion. You know, he is atheist, but not a "religion is the root of all evil" guy like Dawkins et al. So, I wrote a comment when I said I am a southamerican christian with some concern on social issues, and I admire Chmosky because he is not a close-minded fashionable new atheist like dawkins and the war-monger Hitchens.... I haven't gone to this page to see if someone answered me.

Well, I think I (although a pacifist) could behave like a war-monger when it is about bloging in the web. I should re-read 1 Corinthians 13 (Isn't it the chapter about love being more important than faith and hope?)

greetings to all of you

Re: Praying for/to change

mountainguy — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:42:13 -0000

Nice post. It is really important to pray WITH people rather than just do it FOR them (maybe with the exception of people who will get annoyed with the only idea of praying)

Re: Give what to Caesar?

mountainguy — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:48:31 -0000

Thorough article. Thanks for making a more interesting review of what does it mean to surrender to Caesar - surrender to God.

Actually, this is Coca-Cola hired paramilitars (guerrilla is also bad, but they're not allied with Coca-Cola). Yes, frightening... moreover when the government is also allied with those paramilitars

Re: The Style of Subversion: An Introduction

mountainguy — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:41:35 -0000

Good reflection Mark. It is always necessary to question ourselves about the motivations and the things that must be done... and do those things. The people who move only because of the "coolness" will someday realize that doing the good things is usually dificult, rewardless and perhaps not so cool.

Ps: Anyway, it is a lot better being "countercultural" than "coultercultural" (christianity is supposed to be the former, but has been the later for the most of the las 17 centuries).

Re: St. Augustine and Heidegger

mountainguy — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:12:57 -0000

In fact, Jesus was branded as witch, lunatic, and even terrorist.

Very interesting article. I hope to start reading Heidegger in a not so long time
