The Color Blue: What Does It Mean And Symbolize?
Interesting theory, frankbeswick. In our language we also have an expression 'to have black soul', what means he/she is evil, but I can't remember any negative connotation with color blue. You might be on the right trail.

The Color Blue: What Does It Mean And Symbolize?
An idea has just come to me. In Gaelic, particularly the Scottish version of the language, an fear dhu [black man ] was used to suggest an evil person. Hence in Scots Gaelic the Devil is known as Donald Dhu, Black Donald. Calling black people ...

Can You be Rational and Religious?
Quite right. You have hit the nail on the head when you say that many atheists can tell you much about the God they don't believe in; and often I don't believe in that God either. Too many reject a childish view of God, but do not realize that ...

The Color Blue: What Does It Mean And Symbolize?
I am not a linguist, so I can only guess ... Maybe it's connected with invisibility (black - night - not seen), or, like in our area, where people of dark complexion were named after the countries where they came from (za morjem - on the other ...

Can You be Rational and Religious?
I certainly hope we can be rational and religious! My father was agnostic, and I always respected his view that there was no way to know for sure if God exists or not. I was an atheist for a while, having decided the world was better off without ...

Stephen Fry in America. Stephen Fry, His Book, and His Take on California
I didn't even know that David Bowie chose to live in the US. The trend now for some Europeans and Americans seems to be to live in three different places: one in Europe, one in New York and one somewhere else in the US or Canada, or two in ...

Olmec Heads as Gifts
Why not? People like statues from cultures other than their own, especially ancient and exotic ones. For example, how many statues of Buddha adorn houses and gardens? Classical statues still are used.

The Color Blue: What Does It Mean And Symbolize?
Now here is an interesting point. In Irish Gaelic the word for blue is gorm [gorum] and for black it is dhu [doo.] But to say "the black man " you would not say an fear [far] dhu, but an fear gorm [the blue man.] Has anyone any idea why this ...
