both pots and dishes were of common clay, in order

food out of these sacred dishes, his mouth and
throat would become swollen and inflamed. The same

He wanted to build a foundational philosophy; a
basic structure from which all further
intellectual inquiry could be built. It was
essential that his foundational beliefs were
sound. If any one of them were at all in doubt,
then it put the credibility of the whole structure
of knowledge in jeopardy. Thus, Descartes utilised
a method of systematic doubt to weed out those
beliefs of which he could not ...

Suffering And Death Human Beings

Prayers take us into the spirituality of those who
pray them. They show us among other things, the
inner person, the needs of the heart, (both joy
and sorrow, gratitude and disappointment,
expectation and anxiety), as the praying person
stands 'naked' before spiritual realities. This is
to see what women say in prayer, and thereby to
get a glimpse into their spiritual life as that
