    Top 10 Required Books

    I wouldn't read anything about religion. Most of it's crap. Stick to fiction. At least it's fun.

    Take this cup from me?

    jesus was a man... and when he realised what God wanted him to do... he pooped in his pants. He has his own crisis of faith.... that's how I see it...

    A lactating question.

    We don't NEED to consume milk- we like it. It makes tea and coffee seem so much nicer.... Yes, we DO need calcium, but once we get to about 25, we stop needing so much of it. If we ate bones, chewed fishbones, if we gnawed at marrow, if we live in an area where we get water filtered...

    Eating dead fetus in China

    I think it is ethical to eat dead fetus. If you are hungry and there is nothing else available. If you will eat pigs, and cows, and goats, and chickens, then why not dogs, or cats, or dead fetuses? So long as you have not killed the fetus yourself, I don't see the problem. I suppose it...

    Alternative medicine for Cancer

    it's nice to think that there's some miracle cure, but... nobody has a cure for cancer, yet. Okay, there are some cancers we can treat, but cancer is a BIG DEAL. Cancer is not something you can wish away if God loves you enough. Cancer is not a global delusion or part of the big conspiracy...

    would you still see him or what would you do

    how sad. "I love things". "There's no way I'm giving any of my lovely things away, and I'll still keep buying, and then I'll feel..."... what? Guilt? Worry when the bailiffs are hammering on the door? You'll feel... happy? Happy to live like a squirrel, squirreling things away...

    Please find it in your heat to give me one

    I reckon you're fat. Delusions are never pretty. But then, neither is fat. I read in a magazine today that some people eat newspaper to fill themselves up. They roll it up into balls, and chew. If you're fat, maybe it's worth a try.

    Dangers Of 'Faith' Healing?

    for me, it depends what a person suffers with. I don't think... broken bones, or cancer, can be cured by faith healing, but... neurotic conditions -- yes. Definately. My issue, at the moment, is with "deliverance ministries", advising people with addicitionss and psychiatric disorders that...

    Buddhist view of the conscience?

    and seattle has a point -- conscience is (the result of) programming... it may seem... positive, but... is it? Or, in fact, is it a fetter, in itself?

    Buddhist view of the conscience?

    but, Wil, I don't think you (or me!) can ever truely live in the "now" -- our appraisals, good or bad, are ever reliant on what has come before... same too, for consciousness and the conscience... surely?

    Low blood pressure

    ...be careful of any drugs that might cause orthostatic hypotension (i.e., make you get a head rush/feel dizzy when you suddenly stand!), try not to get constipated (same reason: straining to defecate causes BP to drop), and ... eat more salt. Not lots, but, a little. That's what I do. A...

    Buddhist view of the conscience?

    --As far as I see, it depends what you mean by "conscience". If you mean... feeling "guilt", (dusana) or feeling "fear" (bhaya) or, having "no shame", (mamalinya) it's there -- and all these states are considered "fetters". (bhanda, vivadha). Jna, (knowledge) is sometimes translated into...

    Avi

    ... I didn't even see him/her gone... Thinking about it, I've never thought-- that Avi, s/he's a twerp... What did they do to incur the wrath of banishment? Or is poor form of me to ask?

    Vatican praises EU decision on crucifixes in class

    I agree with Will and Seattlegal: the crucifix in the classroom is subliminally "an approved object", approved of by the "powerful"; the teachers, the headmaster, the State itself, and this "approval" must meld itself to a persons consciousness simply by virtue of its existence. If a state...
