Oh. You're real. Your post looked like an advertisement more than a point of discussion. I thought you were a Muslim spam bot. Apologies.

I'm sorry... based on what misconception? :confused:

Spam is the absolute truth. But I still love Muslims.

Exactly. Nothing of the original teller, yet something passes on... karma. What is karma? Certainly not some kind of cosmic record of retribution... just direction, momentum, velocity,... in a purely non-physical sense.

I'd agree with that. Buddhism is really about the moment. This moment, then this moment, then... Whether I'm alive or dead, in Heaven, Hell or anywhere in between, I'll still just have this moment, then this moment, then...

Your first post and I have to give it a resounding no. I believe in life which manifests itself in this moment and the next. It is magical, mysterious and charming enough for me.

I just want to make sure we understand the meaning of "extremist".

I'll join you here, in not taking sides and just stating the facts. Pastor Fred Phelps... Does the fact he exists mean that Christians hate U.S. troops?

You either should have a religious flag or icon representing each of the different religions practiced by the people buried in the cemetery... or none at all. Why stop at religions? Were there members of the Lions club? Rotary? Knights of Columbus? Why not fly those flags as well? Maybe we...

Out of millions of Muslim-Americans it's not hard to believe that some hold that position. Like gay Republicans... it's a testament to our rich diversity.

I'm better than some... worse than others.

I took a direct experience with love and said, I have experienced love. You took a direct experience with love and asked whether ...it was enough to change the world. Those are two very different reactions. GK, I would ask you... imagine if that love were not present. Wouldn't that change...

Buddhists try to believe as little as possible. But when we experience something directly, then we know. Sorry for being so quibblish.

God is the creator of all things? Buddhists simply don't make that leap. All Buddhists know is that a consciousness... an awareness exists. We feel its love (compassion). I feel it right now. But I can't say it created anything. I simply don't know. What I do know, is that its love...

Excerpt from a Buddhist chant... "...a formless field of benefaction...." But while you focus on the formless part, I'll focus on benefaction.

I'd say, just poking you with a stick. But you do show a prickly side in your attempt to defend yourself. I think that stick hit a tender spot.

I'll bet that's the same excuse the plantation owners used in the old south. ;) Okay. Wait until your horse reaches adulthood, then tear down the fences. See? No need for the fences. :D

Then tear down their fences and let them come and go as they please. Then let's see how long your slaves remain on the plantation.

From wikipedia... Distinction without a difference A distinction without a difference is a type of argument where one word or phrase is preferred to another, but results in no difference to the final outcome. It is particularly used when a word or phrase has connotations associated with it...
