It is a gift of our free faiths for our growth. In English, that means ....? We should not be Prisoners. Christian and Buddhist worlds construct the universe, humanity, our ultimate goals and ends, and our experience of onsciousness very differently. You know that how? - Experience. -Amen. Yet for all their differences, the West and the East have been in contact with each other directly and indirectly over many years. Unquestionably. Imports from China reached ancient Rome. -Amen. The Buddhists don't worry about just helping all people become enlightened, they want to bring all sentient beings to enlightenment which includes the birds, the bees. We need the birds and the bees to keep life from becoming extinct. -Amen. The absence of the soul idea means that we are not separate from other life forms but part of a larger universe which includes us. (1) What is a "soul"? Your Spirit. (2) Prove they exist. Your Spririt does exsist within you. (3) Prove you have one. I get up every morning and go to sleep every night. (4) Then prove birds and bees don't. - Amen. Belief in God is central to all Christians. Yes, it has plagued them since they started. -Amen. > Buddhism has heaven and hell realms but they are not ontological. Prove it. - Spirit. We are all trying to climb the same mountain. You know that how? Maybe I'm climbing Everest and you're going up Kilimanjaro. - It's still a mountain, Amen. There are many paths up the mountain. On the rainy side of the mountain, everything is lush and green along the path. On the dry side of the mountain the path is barren and rocky. Depends on the mountain. -It also depends if we are on the same path. -Amen. If we look only at the path, they look very different. But if we follow the paths to their destination, they arrive at the same place. If they're on different mountains? - In Spirit. -Amen. Worry. Oh, I do! -Amen. God knows all about you. Then why does he torture me? -Amen. What wouldn't Jesus do? Nothing. -Amen. Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once. Prove time exists. - Look around you. -Amen. If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0! How about beta release? -Amen. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? Ye.......................... - Me too. -Amen. It's lonely at the top, but you eat better. What's there to eat at Everest's peak? Ice & Snow. -Amen As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools. D*** right! :-) Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. Ever thought of going into politics? They're experts at that. -Amen. If you were born again, would you have two belly buttons? I get no answer. :-)
