I want to convert from Catholicism to Buddhism. I want peace and relaxation in my life. My father thinks it's just a phase, but I'm quite serious. I don't feel that Catholicism is my personal way of reaching spirituality. How do I convert? I have to wait another year when I turn 18 to do so, but I want to know what to do right now. Do you think Buddhism defying God, or is it another way to praise? What do you think about Buddhism? Be honest.

Plato put his own spin on Socrates, so can we "update" what he did as not debate, but a humble search? A search for the truth btwn speaker and listener having give and take, NOT AS Plato wrote as a search of a winner and loser - debate, argument,
dialectic. Aristophanes, in "Clouds" adds to the picture of Socrates with contempt and ridicule, and today most recall Plato's version of a dramatic suicide rather than the betrayal of the selfish Senators. Yes, this is reinterpretation. You like it?

Jonanthan Bell was a small-time televangelist in the Dallas area. A few years back.

He's known as the screaming preacher. And is more famous now, than when he preached.

In a sad reality, he left his 100K a year job in Canada because he was accused of having sex with minors. He is still on the run from the law.

Here's a funny clip of his unique preaching style.

It's the woman who lives there seems like half crazy.
When I told her to not to open the door because the smell of smoke gets into my suite, she said it's not the smell of smoking whereas obvious it is. And she said she would close the door right away with the smile on her face. But then 30 min. later I could smell cigarette again in my apt. and when I went out to check, she let the door open again chain-smoking in her apt. This is not the person who should deal with talk or negotiation. This is why even if I filed a complaint to the apt. manager, she could get away from downright lying. How can I counteract? What should I do? What's the most effective method of dealing with this kind of psycho?

Has anyone seen "touchdown" Jesus on Interstate 75 between Dayton OH and Cincinnati OH? If you have what do you think of it?

If not let me describe it for you. 60ft. Jesus shown from his chest up, hands in "touchdown" position. His face is looking towards the heavens. He is surrounded by a small pond with fountains in front. He is all white, no paint.

hypothetically now

put yourself at Woodstock, youre with your friends and its night and youre all camping waiting for the next day, not a care in the world. then all of a sudden some narc lets loose 10,000 rattlesnakes and they start to bite people. killing them as the poison goes throo their bodies. one bites you and you have a less than 10 minutes to live. Jimmy Hendrix gets on stage and has a fake snake wrapped around his guitar and says if you got bit by a snake just look at my guitar and you wont die. you logic kicks in and says no that makes no sense i have to get some antivenin fast. but you look around and see your friends who looked at the fake snake guitar and they are changed inexplicably. would you look at the guitar?

I know the God we serve through the various religions in the world. The God who createdthe heavens and earth and man.
But then can we say man alos has created God, the God who deliverers ple from truoble, the God who gives good marriages, the God whos spirit fills worshippers so they spaeak in tongues etc. etc.
WHich is which?

If God was existing and created man, has man consequently come out to creat a God? Giving him human attributes and making him a super human. Is that why he is simply a spirit and has never been seen before by anyman.
This is how best I can put the question and hope you get me. Please think deep and be open as possible. No judgement or final verdicts neccsessary. Thanks
