This has been an exciting conversation with you all. Perhaps I will gain permission to discuss also other issues in this forum. I am hoping. I am learning. I can see that many of you are very earnest in your faith. I can also see that some of you are teasing me a bit, yes? That is fine and beautiful. I am not too serious about myself. I do not mind. Please, you may tease me or mock me. It is good to be reminded not to take Jainism too seriously. It is a lens to see some aspects of the world in detail but it is not the world. It is not my only guide book.

The world is much more. The bright light of the Sun and the dark depression. This is all so very interesting, isn't it?

Just out of curiosity, witch, what would it take to irritate, anger or infuriate you? You obviously don't mind being a doormat ( a trait I wish more women these days shared ), but being that unflappable can't be healthy. Even Christ Himself liked to blow off some steam every now and then! Mark 11:12-20

How does a religion survive that kind of thinking? My guess is it is all that fasting followed by ballistic curry's to keep you weak and confused. I really would like to see her force fed cheeseburgers for a week or so then have his conversation again. See if a couple decent meals would bring her around and more able to follow orders.

Yes, Mr. Davis. That is what I am thinking. A roadmap. I cannot lie and say my mind has changed yet. I am reading the Bible, however, and it is beautiful and terrifying just like life itself. Yes. Lying is violence. I am sorry if my reply is not satiafying to you.

While they may be brainwashed to think eating beef is not kosher, it is a good source of protein and that nourishes the brain. In no time, she would be able to think clearly, I would imagine. Of course what really needs nourishment is her soul, which requires at least the mental clarity to understand what sin is and just how offensive she is to the LORD. Anyway, I'll pray for this poor, stupid girl, for whatever good it may do.

Yes, Mrs. Etheldreda. What a sweet woman you are. You are praying for me. This makes me very happy and sad. It is beautiful but I must ask you, please be not offended. I am not seeking life eternal but a good life now and then moksha, liberation of the soul, desintegration of the mind into the silent realm of minds gone before us. If your prayers are powerful, and I am sure they are, I ask you to pray for the ceasing of violence, of anger, of injustice. I am afraid your prayers are being wasted on me. Yes. If I may suggest, pray for common kindness and charity. In that we can be one. Yes!!

Yes, Mr. Hammer. How nice too see you again in my welcome thread. Yes. Anger is violence and the calm mindset is ahimsa, non-violence. It becomes a habit, part of character, way of life. It is my part. If I anger someone I know it is karma, a mistake I have made. I know that my writing here can offend, this is your forum, a Christian forum, I am a guest. A guest is respecting the host. Yes.
