Dukkha is more than suffering.

It looks like it is a discussion on Religion. Gomer is as convinced of his 'God' and 'Everlasting Life' as Bhaktajan is about his 'God' and the 'Eternal Rebirth', things that happen AFTER DEATH ... that we CAN NOT PROVE.

Religion isn't about proving what happens when we are dead.
If you are looking fort hat, you might as well read ghost stories. It;'s about what we are as humans and what meaning is thede to or lives beyond the basic mundane

The beauty of Buddhism though is that it's a solid philopsophical guide for living as well with concepts like mindfulness and the Path -useful tools for living

"no point in arguing the unknowable"
It's fun to SPECULATE. I also think that some people need a 'soft landing' when it comes to Death. Why take that away from people?

Whatever gets you thru the night -it's alright

Did you read the short Reply?

"An entire Continent with millions of People, ... that are all Roman Catholic and speak Spanish now.. Their native religions, their native tongues, all vanquished by the Conquistadors."

Someone called it an "Aberration". I call it a well thought out Plan to insure Wealth flows to the Caliph in Rome. Even to this day, the Tithes of the Multitudes end up in the Coffers of the Christian Caliphate in Rome.

This happened when? After our country was founded? Lately?

Aww you say that to all your assassinations.

You reminded me:

OMG OMG OMG

Look what evince wrote!!!

It's True!
Give him a million years, he'll write a novel.


HAAZAAH!

life is simple when you live heart first

overcomplicating life leads to confusion no one benefits from

LOL A thread topic in which never the twain shall meet. Kinda funny how all this imaginary stuff comes to seem important. It is estimated there are 4200 religions in the world today, and probably even more have gone to their grave and yet people debate and believe and follow. In a sense one can believe anything at all, just don't hurt other people who believe or don't believe some other magical explanation for existence.

"To sum up: 1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute. 2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it. 3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride." H. L. Mencken

love it midcam



no matter what you ponder about existence it doesn't change existence


deal with what is real


Live from the heart


without human love the human race would have been a blip in the earth story



the power of love created us



the power of compassion


the power of caring



the power of cooperation



the power of the pack acting as one



Love makes the human word go round



every once in awhile some evil heartless human decides there are too many humans for their liking


Then they figure out a way to get us killing each other



don't fall for it

Many people don't realize that their own stomachs contain acid that's powerful enough
to destroy metal. Sure, we know all about stomach acid and how it helps us digest food,
but it's certainly not that powerful, is it? You bet it is!

Stomach acid, sometimes called gastric acid, consists of potassium chloride, sodium chloride,
and hydrochloric acid. The concentration of hydrochloric acid in your stomach varies between 5,000-10,000 parts per million.

So exactly how strong is that stomach acid? Acids are measured on a scale known as the pH scale.
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being the most alkaline or basic (non-acidic).

Stomach acid is very acidic, with pH measurements generally ranging from 1 to 3.
Those measurements put stomach acid in the same approximate category as battery acid!
In fact, if you were to put a drop of stomach acid on a piece of wood, it would eat right through it.

With such powerful acid in our stomachs, what prevents it from eating a hole right through us?

Yeah Yeah Yeah...but when you hear the sirens blow and the Rockets Red Flairs ---jump into the bunkers!

"Can YOU prove 'Life After Death' ?"

What makes you so cock-sure there is death after life?

What assures you that you will die?

Because you are at one end of the spectrum now?

Like what goes up must come down?

So once down...you're cock-sure...there ain't no gettin up again?


It's polar opposites in a world composed of polar opposites.

Once your rich, you can't be poor again? They live side by side inseparably.


Life and death is the same as Death and life.

A "Meathead" means the contents of the head is dead.

Meat is dead. A fried egg is dead.

That doesn't back up your claim, dipshit.

Chemical-based decomposition isn't the same thing as combustion-based decompostion.

Please be far, far less of a retard.

The Chinese took urine and poured it on a pile of hay repeatedly and later collected the crud at the bottom of the heap and got gun powder.
