"The ideology of radical libertarianism is both mistaken and harmful," the Vatican said. "The error lies in exalting freedom 'to such an extent that it becomes an absolute, which would then be the source of values.... In this way the inescapable claims of truth disappear." Yikes! Absolute, ideological freedom. That's a scary thought.

Mitch: Just read all your posts from yesterday and I come to one conclusion: You're a loveable rascal and a much needed countervailing force.

Internet ethics are now official... What Would Jesus Surf? Apologetic Apoplexy ? or Confession is good for the soul ? Having seen large scale break-outs of foot n' mouth disease thru centuries of the pious testifying for a God that has become somewhat absent minded of his Creation... So much has the light of reason upset the balances of previous prevailing "interpretation" and descrepancies decade after tedious decade that when God created the Internet , much clarification of his Words were needed . Running a search for Christian Apologetics came up with 60,000 results....to be Christian means to be overpolite, for there is much to apolgize for, it seems .<G> altavista.com Now if i could only come up with just one Buddhist Apologetic website trying to vindicate itself while sitting quietly and still under the Boddhi Tree. (Simply scandulous!...not one site for them could i find! Wouldn't it be easier to become a believer in a faith or studying a philosophy that has just a little less to apologize for ? ( I mean this kindly of course, it just of a sudden dawned on me while "surfing" and seeing so many such sites ...let us bow heads and pray for everlasting surf ) "Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity" ~Albert Einstein ;-)
