Will I Live to See My Wedding Day?

Ok, so I guess we should also not allow infertile people to marry, right.? Should a woman have to prove she is not post meneposal in order to get married? This argument is idiocy unless you only allow fertile people to marry, which is not the law anywhere in the world as far as i know. posted 05/16/2008 at 15:07:20

Spiritual Water: Saving Souls, One Sip At A Time (VIDEO)

This is just more of what I would call spiritual materialism. The idea is if I could just manipulate some object or other I can be saved, which is of course a lot easier than seeking the solution in the only place it can be found, your own body/mind/spirit. Jesus said greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world, and yet so many people still look to he that is in the world. posted 05/14/2008 at 12:36:59

Second Thug Life: Who's Afraid of GTA IV?

The average gamer is about 33 right now according to a websearch i just made. And if violent video games make people more prone to violence then why is Japan the country with the lowest violent crime rate in the world and abong the highest per capita gaming? posted 05/07/2008 at 10:19:37

Mayor Bloomberg, Police, MADD, Rip Grand Theft Auto IV

If violent video games cause violence in real life then Japan and South Korea, where video games are much more popular than in the US, must be the most dangerous places on earth, oh wait they are not. Huh, kinda makes you think. posted 05/03/2008 at 12:17:24

"Basic Instinct" Director Suggest Jesus A Product Of Rape

To me the bible clealy indicates that mary was a young unmarried woman, which was mistranslated as "virgin". Both genealogies of Jesus, even though inconsistant, say Joseph was the father. To me the entire thing is stupid. posted 04/25/2008 at 10:19:26

In An Accelerated World - Ten Movies to Soothe the Soul

All these are great films, at least eight i have seen. I have one more to nominate and that is Rivers & Tides, about an artist who creates art only out of natural items found on location. He also creates most of them so that they fall apart very quickly, so to show them as art he takes pictures.
If you see Why has Bodhidhama left for the east you might want to look up the Zen teachings on the ten Oxherding pictures. The movie seems to have those as points of reference. posted 04/23/2008 at 15:14:05

The Last Lecture and Living in Technicolor

No one. Or you gave it yourself. Or God. Or the field of Being itself. Or all/none of the above. Does it matter? The point is you have no contract with Life/Death(they are the same thing). Everything you have you do not deserve, it is all FREE. You can say you did things but if you look into it closely, you will find there is no you doing it, it is spontaniously arising out of what I call the Dharmakaya, or field of Being itself. But all this isn't to be believed at all, because the only way to figure out what I'm talking about is to discover it in your own body/mind/spirit(they are the same thing). posted 04/20/2008 at 09:27:48
Death is not unjust at all, it is the reason life is possible. It is the engine of evolution. It is one of the reasons life is so valuable. What leads you to believe you deserve to live forever? You were given a FREE gift, now you complain it's not enough. How ungrateful. posted 04/19/2008 at 11:07:37

Top 5 Sexiest Spiritual Icons

FYI- the picture you associate wth the Buddha actually is not the Buddha, he is a Chinese Bodhisattva named Ho-tai, and he is the chinese equivilent to Santa Claus. He irritated the stuffy Cha'an monks because he laughed, so he wandered to countryside giving gifts to children. At least that's my understanding. The Buddha was an Indian and was by all reports thin. posted 04/09/2008 at 12:19:53

How Meditation Makes You Nicer

Give scientists a break, they are working with technology that is many, many orders of magintude less powerful than what meditators work with. I think they are doing just fine. posted 04/07/2008 at 10:18:36

Dog Prays at Japanese Zen Temple

I disagree. All living things ARE Buddha nature, nothing else exists to do the possessing. posted 03/25/2008 at 12:16:08
