Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita
Guest |
/ #57552011-12-20 20:22А почему из всех религий Вы выбрали именно Православие? В свое время я решил для себя: если однажды я все же приду к выводу о том, что Бог есть, то не буду выдумывать никакой своей религии. Мне уже обрыдли все эти бесконечные ночные посиделки на кухнях и общагах, когда в прокуренной комнате со стаканом коньяка (водки, портвейна, пива) в руке ведутся дискуссии об Абсолюте. “Так, Андрюша, давай договоримся. Если ты однажды придешь к выводу, что Бог есть, я тебя очень прошу: не выдумывай ничего своего. Понимаешь, если Бог есть, то это означает, что ты не первый умница, который до этого додумался. История началась не с тебя. Ты не первый человек, идущий по этому пути. Присмотрись к опыту людей, которые шли по нему раньше и дальше тебя продвинулись”. Любые попытки выдумать что-то свое, свою религию, мне казались верхом пошлости. Поэтому я с самого начала наложил на себя такое ограничение, что не имею права, не должен пошлить, не должен выдумывать что-то свое, а должен войти в традицию. Если уж христианство — то самое традиционное. А почему именно христианство? — Так ведь к тому времени у меня уже были представления о других религиях и я уже понимал, что более высокого пути религиозной жизни и мысли нигде нет. Ни одна другая религия мира не кладет в свою основу формулу Бог есть любовь и не говорит в своем символе веры: “нас ради человек и нашего ради спасения”. Что касается первого, то это произошло, когда мне было 18 лет. В то время я “болел” “Братьями Карамазовыми”: более всего меня поразила легенда о Великом инквизиторе. В этой легенде для меня сошлись все те философские проблемы, о которых я тогда думал. Все, что тогда меня пугало в жизни, сконцентрировалось в словах Великого инквизитора. Я вдруг понял, что те искушения в пустыне, которые были предложены сатаной Христу,— это предельный, точный и емкий выбор. И поэтому согласился с той характеристикой, которую Достоевский дал этому евангельскому персонажу: “дух сверхчеловечески умный и злобный”. Так сначала я признал существование сатаны, ну а затем последовал логический вывод: если Христос смог отвергнуть эти искушения, значит, Он тоже сверхчеловечески умен, но добр. Пришло осознание Христа как Спасителя. Ощущение внутренней пустоты прошло, свет в окошке забрезжил. Но пока это было только философским принятием Христа. Начать молиться было намного труднее, и это произошло несколько позже, а крестился я почти через год после этих событий. И даже будучи крещенным, я с большим трудом понуждал себя публично перекреститься в храме или поклониться вместе с бабушками, которые там стояли. Более того, спустя еще год после Крещения на какой-то марксистской лекции, когда лектор громил идеалистов, я с ужасом понял, что он говорит, фактически, про меня. Осознать то, что я стал идеалистом, было очень трудно, настолько глубокие корни пустила марксистская закваска в моем подсознании. А отношение к Нему как к Вседержителю пришло уже позже. Своеобразие юношеской веры в том, что она ни о чем не просит, она просто радуется тому, что Бог есть. Еще нет болячек, нет каких-то безвыходных жизненных ситуаций и, следовательно, можно приходить к Богу не торгуясь, не выклянчивая “гуманитарную помощь”. Поэтому впервые я начал относиться ко Христу не просто как к Творцу и грядущему Судье, а как ко Вседержителю, от Которого зависит моя жизнь здесь и сейчас, только тогда, когда начал молиться о том, чтобы Господь помог мне поступить в семинарию. |

Oppose Islamophobia Definition
We the undersigned oppose any government definition of so-called ‘Islamophobia’. We assert our freedom to expose and oppose the errors and violence of the Islamic religion and to bring the truth of the Gospel to Muslims. We deplore the inherent bias of the Government ‘Working Party on Anti-Muslim Hatred / Islamophobia’ in which every member is either a Muslim activist or, in the case of its chairman, Dominic Grieve KC, an apologist for Islam. We are dismayed that the sole focus of the ‘Working...

Cancel NPC's Car Park Management Contract in GMV West
The Issue The leaseholders of Greenwich Millennium Village (GMV) feel strongly that the decision to have parking enforcement in our private car parks—specifically those in Holly Court, Maurer Court, Metcalfe Court, and Moseley Row—was made without proper consultation with us. This lack of dialogue and transparency has resulted in a management system that does not align with the interests and needs of our community. One of the primary reasons for our concern is the imposition of parking enforceme...

Hardworking People Against AB 928
Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization
To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...
