Chrissy: I write this against the barrier of your seeing me as a gin-guzzling eccentric swarthed in liberated cockaroaches.

It is not the Jesus/Buddha question I address. It is the God/Pagan one.

I find any discussion of God meaningless until a definition is given to the subject: What is it that this God that we are discussing consists of? Only then we can discuss.

I find the same problem with Pagan. What is a Pagan? You trumpet your identification with Pagan - but, what is it that you are identifying with? Is it a negative statement about not believing in this God or that God? Is it a statement of total disbelief - there is no overriding power/system/configuration?

Are Jesus and Buddha two human creations that serve as launch pads from these terrestial confines to a more cosmic glimpse of our quarters? Or are they, in themselves, Gods?

Pagan sounds sort of like you are burning something you do not like, or idolizing something you feel is all-fearful. It has a certain position, an opposition, a defiant creed.

Even Craig assumes 'teachings' for his Buddha. Are you against 'teachings?' (I am.)

But, being against teaching, where does that leave you - a rebel?

I believe it is possible to shorten all the arguments recently appearing on Feelings into nothingness. Which, if you don't think about it, is about all there is. geo
