An interview with god

Recommended Posts

Geesh, I thought you were talking about a play my father's currently doing with the same title. I was wondering how the heck you knew, seeing as you're alllllllllll the way across the country.

A friend of mine had that link on their AIM profile a few months ago & I was amazed at how calm and relaxed I became while watching it. I sent it to the people I was chatting with online and made my sister sit and watch it too.

THere is a link to buy a screen saver on the website, I am tempted to get it- have some relaxation during those stressful moments at work each day!

Which God?

The one that says "An eye for an eye?"

or the one that says "Love one another as I have loved you" after flooding and raining fire and brimstone on us.:o

Oh. Same God. Sorry.:|

Is it the God who killed his son to show us how much he loved us? A guy tried to kill Ronnie Raygun to show Jodie Foster how much he loved her and they called him a nutter and locked him away...:S

Is this the God who says condoms are OK:$, or the God who says if you use one - you'll burn in hell for all eternity?:)

Or the God who supposedly says all infidels should be killed.:(

Or is it the God who says only 140 000 people will go to heaven and the rest will rise and live on (a very crowded) earth?:D

There is some stuff I'll just never understand, so I've left out the sun god, god of war, god of fire, moon goddess and god of loose closure loops as well as a gazillion other manifestations of humankinds insecurities as they're harder to quote.

Och, Buddha is cool, doesn't get all hung up on various rules, and all that sin stuff.:)

He doesn't, but we should, and it should have nothing to do with our fear of any God's retrebution.
We should do it simply because it's nice to be nice, and nice things happen to nice people sooner or later in a world full of shit.

Some Ethics which I don't beleive will clash too much with others...

"1) To undertake the training to avoid taking the life of beings. This precept applies to all living beings not just humans. All beings have a right to their lives and that right should be respected.

2) To undertake the training to avoid taking things not given. This precept goes further than mere stealing. One should avoid taking anything unless one can be sure that is intended that it is for you.

3) To undertake the training to avoid sensual misconduct. This precept is often mistranslated or misinterpreted as relating only to sexual misconduct but it covers any overindulgence in any sensual pleasure such as gluttony as well as misconduct of a sexual nature.

4) To undertake the training to refrain from false speech. As well as avoiding lying and deceiving, this precept covers slander as well as speech which is not beneficial to the welfare of others.

5) To undertake the training to abstain from substances which cause intoxication and heedlessness. This precept is in a special category as it does not infer any intrinsic evil in, say, alcohol itself but indulgence in such a substance could be the cause of breaking the other four precepts."


And no, you don't get punished by Buddha if you don't follow them.
