I don't think there is anything "...Phillip.<br />I don't think there is anything "wrong" with orthoxy. A person is entitled to worship his or her GOD in whatsoever way they feel comfortable with. Within what is usually referred to as the Orthodox community there are a range of "sects" varying in their adherance to some interpretation of Rabbinical Law as they perceive it. For myself I find that strict adherance to dietry laws that once were valid for health reasons in times past is pointless when the handling of food now has virtually eliminated the risks previously extant. In my old Unit rather than go hungry we would refer to bacon as Flat Nose Mutton. My father's generation serving in the 2nd AIF did the same in WW2 and no doubt my son's generation now do the same in the modern army. I must ask him. This is a fascinating conversation but has bugger all to do with that wanker Leunig which the Bunyip is writing about.

Jeffrey Satinover MD, physicist, might interest you for a description of the "unknowable cause".<br /><br />orthodox has a generic meaning of "right" - so I rather think it impossible to be "too right". Better to hone in on some detail of what you actually think is wrong with orthodoxy in practical definable terms - as I intend to do with Freemasonary - but not in one post.<br /><br />thanks, shalom<br /><br />PhillipGeorge(c)2012PhillipGeorge(c)2012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-18046403313508721742012-12-10T13:31:45.124+11:002012-12-10T13:31:45.124+11:00Seeing they can't even give away the Guardian-...Seeing they can't even give away the Guardian-on-the-Yarra where they are still printing it, asking $2 for the duckhead's cartoon calendar seems a big ask.

For all that Rabbi Kaduri is revered I am not convinced that his prophecy of the earthquake/tidal wave was anything but luck and he is not the first - and will probably not be the last - to prophesy the coming of the Messiah [who he says he met]. A bit too Orthodox for me.

Please keep posting.<br />Personally I'm more comfortable in a Messianic Synagogue such as Lawrence Hirsch's. I love Karaite literature as well - seems so "uncluttered" by the erroneous. Seen Rabbi Kaduri's prophesy - what a great great man.<br /><br />Ps. Not all people with some critique to offer of Freemasonry have been rejected by it - but it is interesting you should posit the theory.

Barry Humphries famously said, in his introduction to Leuing's first anthology:<br /><br />"[Leunig]is never 'relevant', 'socially aware' or narrowly political. 'Social relevance' is a modish and peculiarly horrid little disease infecting modern criticism, invented by humourless puritans who are baffled by the magical uselessness of art. Grub Street prigs expect jokes to somehow justify themselves by being 'satirical' or up-to-date; relevant in short.”<br /><br />A different Leunig, sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
