yep...going off on our tangents is the easiest thing to do on this board! :D :P

no, but it's supposed to be out on Easter day? Or a month ahead of Easter? I'm not sure...there's just a lot of buzz about it :D

hmmmm i gave some good links up there! :-)

cdplayer, dude, i keep forgetting your name. it's cool that you're getting to learn so many new words while reading a novel! :cool:

:lol: :lol: @ "brain fart"! but actually, i was kinda surprised by one response on here...dunno who said it, but that they were interested in studying hinduism/buddhism, but the guy sounded quite religious Lutheran :-) interesting! there's a running joke about Lutherans on a saturday-evening public radio show called "A Prairie Home Companion"...but it's a good-natured joke 'cuz the host is himself a Lutheran (i think!)...it's a wonderful show of mid-west american life and about god-fearing christians! :D even a hindu like me enjoys it! :lol:

:lol: :lol: i wish astros would not choke in the post regular-season play this year! :rolleyes:

:lol: :lol: :lol: wow at you two! lol hmmm i think badaboum knows exactly what religion i was talking of... :stunned:

yeah...apparently...that's why they had a re-birth, so to speak! :lol: but about distributing bibles in school...i'm just glad that didn't happen in the school i attended. and for one year, i attended a catholic, all-boys school! :D

oh and about 'left behind'.... god...that idea is indeed terrifying! but do you want people to start praying to a god out of terror? :rolleyes: actually, to me, the whole idea of suddenly people aged 12 and younger, and all those who actually, fervently, believe in jesus as their savior, being gone out of this world and into 'heaven', in plain sight of everyone else who are 'left behind'...is just funny and unbelievable! but, i guess tha's just me. :smug:

heh! if you're athiest, that means that you're above the god/devil fight! and plus, not all religions talk about "the devil" so, you see, if you don't go to church, or don't believe in a 'god' in christian meaning, then that doesn't mean you're automatically an 'agent of devil', 'cuz 'devil' is something only christians and muslims talk of. see my point? and actually, i'm horrified that kids in your school distributed bibles to other kids! :stunned: :o unless, of course, it's not a public but a private school!

:lol: :lol: nooooo..it is in one of the biggest religions of the world...but i don't want to mention it here by name :confused:

:lol: :lol: noni, i like your views on religion! :D

in some versions of 'heaven' you get to have sex with 72 virgins! :sneaky: :D

:D i knew there were some on here who believed in that religion! :sneaky: :P

what the he**! :stunned: why is everything in double? grrrrrrr the devil already has a hand in this! :angry: :idea2: :lol:

come to think of it...it'd be interesting to see what all coldplay fans believe in! :cool: so go and vote... :D

:o :o

i dunno...lemme first get invited and experience all this that you say. then i can authoritatively tell you what i miss! :smug: :lol:

yeah...i guess i'll stop now! :smug: :sneaky: sorry if i offended anyone though! not my purpose... :/

some more blood in the name of christ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/953200.stm

http://www.stephen-knapp.com/thirteen_years_of_killings_in_tripura.htm "In our concern for the violence that takes place daily in India's Northeast region, here is a sample of the typical but atrocious news that comes out of the region due to the insurgency of the terrorist, militant Christian groups that act in the area. These groups, in their promotion of Christianity, continue to kill thousands of local people in their attempt to ban all Hindu practices and convert everyone into Christians." so next time when your local church asks money to send "missions" to third world countries, you know that if you give money, you are helping in killing thousands of people, or at the least, uprooting millions from their traditions and their local societies...it's an upheavel like none other. it's up to you...don't turn a blind eye to it!

that still doesn't tell me what it means! :rolleyes: or what you were trying to say! :rolleyes: kasia wanted some news articles...here's one web site compiling many articles about the terrorist-ic activities of some who try to convert others to christianity. http://www.geocities.com/orthopapism/twipra.html "Church supporting rebels in Tripura" http://www.hvk.org/articles/0703/137.html "The NLFT is accused of forcing Tripura’s indigenous tribes to become Christians and give up Hindu forms of worship in areas under their control. Last year, they had issued a ban on the Hindu festivals of Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja. The NLFT manifesto says that they want to expand what they describe as the kingdom of God and Christ in Tripura. The Baptist Church in Tripura was set up by missionaries from New Zealand 60 years ago. It won only a few thousand converts until 1980 when in the aftermath of the State’s worst ethnic riot, the number of conversions grew." just one example, but it shows how christian missionaries pounce on poor people or those who are affected by riots or earthquakes or the like...it is pure treachery!

huh? i don't know what that's suppose to mean... "head's taking" ? :huh: :rolleyes:

are you saying i don't believe in God? or that 1 billion Hindus don't believe in God? or Africans that worship nature or who do Vodoo don't believe in God? if so...i give up...it's one more win to the close-minded beliefs of chrsitianity and islam! :D i know for sure that Hinduism's main tenet is: There is only one Truth; sages call It by different names!
