"The greatest victory one will ever have , is the victory over the self"
~Aristotle
You know , by Jesus' ( or whomever wrote in those stories ) own admission , he says he did not make up the Golden Rule , but was just repeating it . And all Jews will tell you that they made it up , and the Buddhists and Hindus stole it later , hehe. Then , of course the Mohammedans will tell you that Jesus stole it and Mohammed was the one that really perfected it . Too bad Socrates first spoke of knowing thyself ...very immortal line that , and would have been nicer if the "Son of God" or the "Last Prophet"
had each spoken it first.<g>
...the real question is , with all this posting , where does one find any time at all to practice it ? But of course , if one calls himself a "Christian" in any forum it must be always assumed that he is practicing this fundamental "Golden Rule" rule much more accutely than the rest . All others are suspect , especially those rascally humanists, willy pantheist/deists and not least but last, the demon atheists.
Have you thought seriously yet of a conversion back to Jesus' true religion ?
