\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"

Jewish thought includes both animal and human souols

http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/20-voices-of-belief/ ... > 25 minutes with 20 people-And again Denys Turner... while completely spurned by the guy who posted the video at the site, makes the powerful (implicit, through Wittgenstein) point that all human things (science included) deal explicitly in the realm of language: and that there are things that language cannot express, is admitted by all but the intellectually dishonest. (It is in fact, a fundamental tenet of Buddhism and any esoteric religion I've studied...)-The general idea here is (crudely) that God is the place that describes all those things that cannot be expressed.

Unfortunately, this is a Channel 4 programme, and it has been blocked for viewing over here for reasons of copyright. However, the brief summaries of each position give a clear idea of the slant. I wonder who would have done the editing, and what principles of selection the editor would have used!

Some sports channels are blocked for local viewers if the venue is not sold out, but otherwise it is hard to keep track of all there is to watch.
