Yikes. Sounds like an Onion article.

Maybe they should start making them pay for licensing instead. They could also make them pay for renewals and tax them on it too. Oh sorry- that's the American way.
I would be more than willing to go get a Boddhisatva license and whip it out. No one even gets the mans law vs natural law arguements that I try to spin around here.........but that is exactly why that is so absurd. |
What is your 'Man's Law vs Natural Law' argument? Is one higher? or shall never the twain meet?
|
I'm going to buck the system.

Is there a Tibetan Buddhist equivalent to "render unto Caesar?"

Who was that? Doobies? Chicago? someone like that. Now I'll ponder those lyrics all night!

I believe it to be Steely Dan.

A good example of Man's Law vs. Natural Law would be- licensing people for the use of gravity. It's the ridiculousness of watching people try and control natural law through man's law. You can make a law that states that the world is flat all day and that was done- but that doesn't make the world flat. Creationism being adopted in schools by man's law is another good example. You cannot negate science and natural law by making a law. You cannot negate the existence of something or make it come into being- simply by making a law about it. Using man's law to try and control something that is not within man's power is just silly. Is it not? I believe these two things can and do meet with proper forethought- like supplying and controlling the flow of water to supply dry regions. But the fact that it becomes a vs. is the ridiculous part. |
Yeah, that's what the Communist Party looks like when it's committing legislative masturbation.
Mallard Fillmore rather summed it up the other day. |
All the more reason why China needs to get the hell out of Tibet and leave the Dali Lama alone. It's not like he did anything beyond politely telling the Chinese "no" when they asked if they could annex Tibet.
Rotten Chinese... |
