Obviously.. just kidding. Nick_A, I think your time would be well spent if you would tackle the imbalances in some areas that I think are rooted in Texas. TK

How on earth does Socrates and Jesus belong to the same category of people? Did Socrates even believe in God?, I`d doubt it although I havn`t checked. What is your brief definition of an awakening, btw? Is one awakening enough? (this is intended to be a trick question) TK

Agreed. Most of the time with regards to this topic I find myself trying to convince people that evil is tiny. And then many explain it to me that darkness is huge. So this kind of discussion on the other extreme is unusual. Darkness does exist because the light does not shine everywhere...

There does seem like there is a "little hitler" in Russia presently :D No, we have not learnt our lesson as we would try to nuke Christ if he chose to return right now. TK

Nada Kenka(fight) festival. The easiest way to describe this would be that probably towns arrive with their ark-like boxes and then they bash the arks together to prove who`s tougher. YouTube - 2008????????????????????????????? TK

Saidaiji (buddhist temple) festival YouTube - 2008' ???????????????ver2 The goal of this festival is to get a hold of a piece of wood, and bring it back to the goal point against what looks like thousands. In accomplishing that good fortune is blessed. Look at all the confusion like everyone`s...

Kishiwada Danjiri festival　９７ YouTube - Kishiwada Danjiri festival accident '97- ????????????? Looks cool! TK

Well given the fact that we have the ability to think we have free will, and that God is All Mighty. In this Chinese buddhist fable about a stone monkey monster who wrecked havoc in the heavens and thought he`d proved a point, while making his escape only to find out that he was a speck on the...

my definition of evil is. in the widest definition possible has something to do with. 1. bringing misfortune to children. 2. messing with peoples abilities to put food on the table. Anything other than that is therefore not evil, a luxury, and all in our minds, IMO. Step over these rules and...

A glimpse of Kashima Shinto-ryu swordsmanship ceremony at a Shinto Shrine. 1. YouTube - ??????/? 2. YouTube - ??????/? It kind of shows how these swordsman feel about their pursuit of swordsmanship. For them it is a spiritual pursuit as well as a physical one. TK

Looked like a nｉｃｅ enough classic introductory video. Reminded me of Charlie Chaplin. YouTube - Aikido Tomiki Kenji sensei???? ??????

Well since personally for me, it really doesn`t make a difference what so ever if Jesus were to return or not, because my actions are still the same. I`d rather not be debating about this for long. But even though Him living in heaven for 2000 years is stretching things a little in...

First I would like to note that Buddhist were probably not traditionally bad at teaching about God. Only after the missions settled down and blended into communities as traditions, did they start to suck at teaching about God over the generations, most likely. Thus current Buddhists suck at...

I just thought it might be pretty unusual to find people who think about ancestors through incense, in the west. Keeping in line with the fruit, berry and flower theme of this thread. It`s all good, I looked it up. TK

And what is your version? Can we clarify. Jesus will not return. Satan is not going to appear in human form. Only Judgment day is coming (which I still think is going to suggest a Jihad may I add). What is your solution in saying Jesus will not return altogether? That awaiting Judgment is the...

I`d rather not do this, applying the Quran as I know little. But for the sake of where this thread is, or we can take this to the Christian forum, where in the Quran does it say Jesus died? "Take back" is not the same as "death", literally. And "nor were they exempt from Death" is not the same...
