Religions are based on scripture, which is mostly poetry. So it only makes sense that religious conflict must be resolved through poetry, and not through politics, negotiation, or war. I propose that all religious conflicts be redefined poetically, so that they can be resolved without bloodshed, winners, or losers. So let’s sharpen our words, not our swords; send missives, not missiles; and apply our minds to metaphor, simile, rhyme, meter, and prosody, but not pomposity, animosity, ferocity, atrocity, or monstrosity.

Best regards,
Hugh Mann

]]> Comment on Life on the margins in the West Bank by Robert Leonard https://coveringreligion.org/2018/03/17/life-on-the-margins-in-the-west-bank/#comment-196981 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:58:08 +0000 http://coveringreligion.org/?p=55577#comment-196981 This is a very well-written article about three settlements in the West Bank. It offers insight into the lives of people living in: a Palestinian refugee camp, a Jewish settlement, and a relocated Bedouin village. It describes the inhabitants’ differing beliefs and common hopes. The article succeeds in the difficult task of staying politically neutral, leaving it to the reader to draw any conclusions.
