how interesting that you speak of peace and love and religion basically in the same sentence. the problem i have with religion besides the faulty premises it purports as truths, is how it has been co-opted for the supposed good and how that inevitably turns into a detriment. so much blood has been shed in the name of religion that it makes it difficult at times to see it as a good thing. my God is better than your God. my God is the one true God. isn't it enough people have faith. when did it turn into a pissing contest?
peace and love applies to ALL regardless of race religion gender age or nationality.
i dont know when it turned into a pissing contest and its sad it did. these so called religious people in dc drove me away from religion, i used to go to church when i needed some help in life and faith in life, now i gave up on religion. and i wasnt that much of religious person to begin with. im like u i wish it was enough for people to have faith and for people to not go into false wars based on a god. if i say i go to chruch these days, people think im some bush loving person

no u get banned cause u say stupid shit like in your response to my post all the time on here and then u cry wolf and wonder why u get banned. like i said in the post i wasnt looking for a board fight nor will i stoop to your childish ways
Did you think I was baiting you with that comment? I don't say anything stupider than you and I don't use any harsher language. I just have a world view that most do not share, including the board moderators, so it's easier for people to 'see' that I am the 'childish' one. If you could take a 3rd person perspective and look at your own comments Mets... "I wasn't looking for a fight... I just wanted to talk shit and not get a response." then you cry wolf when you do get a response...
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

oh you misunderstand me mets. as an atheist, i wish there was no such thing as religion. but my thinking is if you're gonna do the religion thing one would think it wiser to stick together rather than go in for all that dessension that splits it apart.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me

I don't know anything about that, but I know that "Buddha" was more than one person, the name is commonly used in reference to Gotama/Gautama Buddha, but the myths refer to many different Buddhas.

Here we are, as per wikipedia:
On the night Siddhartha(Gotama/Gautama Buddha) was conceived, Queen Maya dreamt that a white elephant with six white tusks entered her right side, and ten lunar months later Siddhartha was born from her right side http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha#Conception_and_birth

Well done. Oh, and there's another story, about a lotus....or was it a tree?
The thing that most stuck out, in my mind, when I read the book about Buddha (and damned if I can remember the name of it, but it was published around 1940), was that somewhere around the age of 33, he went out on a carriage ride with his father and saw poor people for the first time. He saw death, and decay. And it bothered him. He went home and he pondered it for a few hours. And then suddenly he saw that all is meaningless, as dust, except for enlightenment. His realizations were basically The Sermon on the Mount mixed with Ecclesiastes, except that there was a lotus in there somewhere....and an elephant.

I would not presume to know what you think, but I am guessing you are saying you are too thick skinned to let words upset you.
It's not that stuff that gets me.
I have a client who has been probably falsely accused having sex with a 15 yr girl, (he is 78) and his life is presently a hell made by a few simple words.

But otherwise, I still agree with you!
Was it the Lotus Sutra, pertaining to Sakyamuni Buddha?

Before I start a new thread about it, does anyone recall a thread about the movie "Deliver Us From Evil" about Father Oliver O'Grady that molested/raped a bunch of kids as young as 6 years old, meanwhile the Catholic Heirarchy just moved him around California knowing that he was raping kids?

way way off base luce. i am well aware of the damage words can do. i am not thick skinned at all. but if someone is gonna start a war of words with me they better bring it cause i will bury them without remorse.

Or, what harm psyche can do to words. Like psychosis, I get in trouble for using the word, but it's not meant to harm, nor is the word Idiot, Queer, Faggot, etc.. etc... it's social psyches that harm the words by interpreting the words as harmful.

God will always be around, so ryan will just have to get used to it.
I can definitely do the robe thing, and there may be chanting. Way to cold to be naked, probably.
I'm really thinknig of a burning man, maybe I can stuff cracker in a few places so he goes off a bit at a time, or little petrol bombs.
