It seems I am becoming a spruiker for Roy Zimmerman, but the REAL danger isn't Muslims or even militant Hindus.

The truth is revealed here.

...and speaking of India, it's not looking so peaceful today.

My overreaction was intentional. I didn't want to waste time talking about India anymore. Even if the example was imperfect, I didn't think the example was core to the argument. I felt like if you were the chap sitting next to Forrest Gump on the bench and he told you, "life is like a box a chocolates...", that you would answer him, "You know, many brands of chocolate provide a product where a box will contain all of the same kind of chocolates. Others provide a clear 'map' to tell you exactly what you will get."

Yes. Very nice. But that's not the point.

But, what your last post sounds like is that you're arguing that it's enlightenment is impossible. There is no nirvana... everywhere in the world you will find either a homogeneous culture, or strife. So is your stance that we should just give up? We should either choose the path of ethnic cleansing, or just accept the fact that if we do choose a mixed society then holy wars and suicide bombers should be accepted as the norm?

No lie. :-/

Nonsense. Today is very quiet.

Yesterday, now that was fucked up.

God has placed a desire for himself in every person.

"You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you" (St. Augustine).

A hole in our soul the shape of which only He/She can fill?

I used fix-a-flat on my soul, now it works just fine. :haha:

I don't need to.

Because I don't care what you believe in (not that much, outside of friendly curiosity) and you don't care what I believe.

Is it too early to pass on that my sis-in-law told me that my brother called her to tell her about what was happening in India (one of her employees is from India and it was just breaking news) and she said, totally without thinking "Holy COW!"

She didn't mean it. Eh, er...too early?

...Like if someone told me about something horrendous that happened in a Christian country, and I said "Jesus Christ!"?

:fsm:

That is funny! That's something I say sometimes; I have no idea where I got the saying from, but I have always been aware of the reference.

I guess when someone talks about illegal Mexicans, I ought not to say "Holy Guacamole!"

My son has morphed this into "holy whack-a-moley!" :)

.....that'd be the Church of England then? A church founded primarily on tea and scones.

A church founded by a despot who wanted to divorce his wife you mean? lol

That's the one. Seriously though, it's mainly about the tea and scones.

Oh those C of E ladies do a lot of nice things in the community. Most of the ones I've had the good fortune to know have been much nicer than the Catholic ones. If you want anything from them, you have to sit through the lecture first. lol
