The111 1 #1 September 21, 2006 Hey, my post in SC! I don't even browse this place usually, but this quote is too good. I found it on another message board. "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." -Stephen Roberts FWIW, I label myself agnostic rather than atheist, but I still loved the quote.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freethefly 6 #7 September 22, 2006 That is a good but, I have always found this to be truer. It is from psycologist Frederick (Fritz) S. Perl the co-founder of gestalt therapy. “I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.”"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.” One religion I can think of in particular puts a very large importance on "witnessing" or "missions", which at its core is attempting to convert other people to believe in what you believe.

freethefly 6 #11 September 22, 2006 How's this for truth Todd Rundgren - Eastern Intrigue As the sun rises in the east As the wind blows the fog across the sea As the hand of man creeps across the face of the world Caught in a web of glamours Persian perfume and oriental eyes Yogi in knots and sufi wise Master sublime and swami high Throw in some voodoo on the side And a dash of the old kung fu Lord you got me strung out on eastern intrigue Chapter six and verse eleven If you wanna get to heaven You've got to ask the man who owns the property Ya gotta dance your dance And do your act And get his big attention that's a natural born fact I'm on my knees, one question please Will the real god please stand up? Jesus and moses, mohammed, and sri krishna Steiner, gurdjief, blavatsky, and bhudda Guru maharaji, reverend sun myung moon On the banks of the holy nile As the palm tree sways at the base of the sphinx 'neath a crescent desert moon many thousands Younger than ours In fact, forget about time completely Think of it in the abstract please Think of the swaying tropic trees One of your many destinies Like having a hot peyote tea In the palace of fu manchu Lord you got me strung out on eastern intrigue Sell your wife and pawn your heater Buy the new bhagavad gita Do the pranayama 'til your spine gets sore I'll tell you for free 'cause god told me We checked it with the pope and so we all agree I'm on my knees, one question please Will the real god please sit down? Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
