   Extractions: In a bloody climax to two years of fighting between the Indian government and Sikh separatists, Indian army troops fight their way into the besieged Golden Temple compound in Amritsarthe holiest shrine of Sikhismand kill at least 500 Sikh rebels. More than 100 Indian soldiers and scores of nonbelligerent Sikhs also perished in the ferocious gun and artillery battle, which was launched in the early morning hours of June 6. The army also attacked Sikh guerrillas besieged in three dozen other temples and religious shrines throughout the state of Punjab. Indian officials hailed the operation as a success and said it "broke the back" of the Sikh terrorist movement. The Sikh religion, which was founded in the late 15th century by Guru Nanak, combines elements of Hinduism and Islam, the two major religions of India. The religion is centered on the Indian state of Punjab in northern India, where Sikhs comprise a majority and speak Punjabi. In the 1970s, agricultural advances made Punjab one of India's most prosperous states, and Sikh leaders began calling for greater autonomy from the central government. This movement was largely peaceful until 1982, when the Sikh fundamentalist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers launched a separatist campaign in Punjab. Employing terrorism and assassination, Bhindranwale and his guerrillas killed scores of political opponents and Hindu civilians in the name of establishing an autonomous Sikh Khalistan, or "Land of the Pure." Most Sikhs did not support Bhindranwale's violent campaign, in which the extremists also assassinated several Sikhs who spoke out against the creation of Khalistan.

Search Art History From Shelley Esaak Geoff Patterson wrote, "Please feature Bosch, as I like his crowded wild scenes." (As you wish, Geoff, and thanks for the suggestion!) It's a pity we don't have more information on Hieronymus and have to guess at what was going on in his head, isn't it? I only know two certain things about the man. First, young children seem to get a big kick out of The Garden of Earthly Delights . (This may have something to do with rapidly shifting attention spans.) Secondly, Bosch had to have been a devout Believer. There is no doubt, in my mind, that he believed Hell to be a viable post-life option and felt that most folks were headed straight that way. The hell-bound in his paintings often do seem to be enjoying the journey, though...so perhaps Bosch had a sense of humor, as well.

11. Homosexuality In History
    Article by Rev. Robert J. Buchanan, exploring the historical foundations of homoerotic expression, and its place in society.  
    http://hometown.aol.com/GraceEACA/chapter2.html
    
    Extractions: No one knows exactly how homosexuality entered into human history. I would imagine that the practices associated with the erotic attraction of people to one's own gender have been around since the dawn of humanity. The earliest accounts of homosexual behavior seem to be found in ancient pagan religious practices. At least, the pagans included homosexuality in the worship of various gods. Whether the inclusion in worship was because the practice was already a part of the society-at-large or if the pagan worship introduced the practice is impossible to determine, although some understandings of Paul's writings argue for the latter. Human beings began to worship many gods very early in human history. These early gods were most often associated with fertility, agriculture, and war. One of the early gods of the Assyrians, which later spread into the area known as Canaan, was the goddess Asherah. She was worshipped as the goddess of fertility. Often worship of this goddess included orgies and sexual practices. The
