So is Judaism compatible with Christianity? Theologically speaking, of course not. The very notion is absurd. Ethically, on the other hand, I am not aware of any significant differences. The same applies when comparing Islamic principles to either of the two. -----------------------------
Which is why Eimar O'Duffy chose to use pagan allegory in his rendition of Social Credit philosophy http://www.geocities.com/socredus/eimar.txt . Rather than "Christianity" v. "Judeo-Masonicism" he used the terms "Sisyphism v. Procrusteanism" and "gods musing." --- Finally, in *Asses in Clover,* the god-hero travels through the kingdom of Assinaria. There professors of the dismal science discuss how far the standard of living must be lowered in order to raise it, and the impossibility of providing an income for all in a land of plenty when there is no demand for labour. Despite their comic form, the books carry a sombre message. A social credit Utopia on the moon is destroyed by capitalist financial pressures. On earth, those who can afford to pay to see song-birds and wild flowers are content to do so. Those suffering abject poverty are too preoccupied with their plight to care about the world they have lost. The trilogy has an uncannily prophetic ring. On his death in 1935 O'Duffy was described by Douglas as an economist of 'no mean order...combining the typical Irishman's hatred of pomposity with a delicate sense of proportion...His books will, for many years, provide a touchstone of reality'." ...in the last chapter two of the Gods 'observed a dim star among the drifting millions flash suddenly, and go out.' One of the Gods muses that, 'There ends another of my experiments.' "And the second God inquires, 'A successful one?' "'Nay, a miserable failure, though at one time it gave good promise. That star gave birth to a number of planets, on one of which I evolved, after much thought and toil, a strange creature call Man. At first he was truly interesting, but he reached his zenith too quickly, and then rapidly declined. During his last few hundred years, when he was already far gone in decay, he achieved a mastery of natural forces that was marvelous in a race so stupid, but his wickedness and folly were such that it did him more harm than good. In the end I superseded him by a somewhat lower creature called rabbit; but this had no great potentialities either for good or evil, and so nothing came of it. A few million years ago the planet fell back into its parent sun, which has now itself come to an end.' "'Did these Men that you have mentioned achieve nothing of lasting worth?' asked the other God. "'Almost nothing,' replied the first. 'A few of them did occasionally show some glimmerings of divine wisdom to which their fellows paid no heed. That, and some trifles of tolerable music, is their only memorial. If you listen you may catch some echo of the latter still moving among the spheres.' ""The Gods were silent; and the ghost of the Ninth Symphony came stealing through the ether.' "This is an effectively wry conclusion to a highly talented writer's major work..." -- On Wed, 5 Mar 2003 22:39:36 Keith Wilde wrote: >I have appreciated the comments on this general subject over the past few >days, and especially the additional information provided by Wally, Victor >and Curtiss.
