A man came to Shammai saying, "Teach me the whole Torah while standing on one foot." Shammai took a stick and hit the man with it. The man then went to Hillel, saying the same thing. Hillel said to the man, "Do not do unto your fellow what you would not have done unto you. That is the Torah. Now go and study." Shabbat 31a

More Bad Theology from the Far Right
I have some strong observations to make on the public debate surrounding gun control. Before I make those observations I would like to share an essay and a video from Dr. Anthea Butler, a religious studies professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Butler, as usual, has stated her position in a thoughtful manner. I like listening to what Dr Butler has to say, even if I don't agree with everything she has to say. Thank you Dr. Butler!
Here is a link to Dr. Butler's comments. This link goes to an article at Religion Dispatches, December 19, 2012.
