medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Osher Doctorow [log in to unmask], Wed. June 6, 2001 1PM
I am a man (Osher may sound either way to some people - it means *Lucky* in
the Old Testament), and I have been married for almost 33 years to Marleen
J. Doctorow, Ph.D., licensed clinical psychologist, and I seriously doubt
that there is a positive relationship between holiness and masculinity in
history in the ordinary sense of the word *masculinity*. Compare the lives
of Socrates (as we know it from Plato), Saint Thomas Aquinas, Shakespeare,
Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, the Old Testament Prophets, Jesus, Mohammed,
Leonardo Da Vinci, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Vivaldi, Chopin, Pierre de
Fermat, Sir Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Kurt Godel, Sir Roger Penrose,
Stephen Hawking, Paul Dirac, Steven Weinberg (although I disagree with his
recent attacks on organized religion), Field Marshall Viscount Montgomery,
Field Marshall Viscount Slim, Marshall/General Zhukov, etc.
