The three Abrahamic religions have an ambivalent relationship to war and peace. On the one hand, God is viewed as a merciful peacemaker.

The relationship between religion and radicalization cannot be determined either by defining religion or by determining its nature.

Although panpsychism and pantheism were seen as natural allies in the past, in contemporary philosophy it is widely common to stress differences rather than similarities between them.

I examine how the Divine Feminine (symbolized by Portia) is presented and disguised in the text.
