Re: Favourite movie scenes

A scene from Cloud Atlas The guy on the right (a Scottish hard arse) - is Tom Hanks, in one of many varied roles he plays in this fantastic and extremely different film. This film has it all, humour and beautiful scenes, coupled with a perhaps dire dystopian future, where many characters are replay...

I think, as I can, I'll post one daily, in the order presented in the book. A new question ought not end any conversation over an old(...

Re: GOD

seems to me the core question per Christianity is: 1. did the messenger have a message - and if so way was it? 2. did he or of not, if not, was him dying on the cross make up for his lack of message? 3. which do you value more - a guy dying on a cross or the message he spoke about prior to being ki...

To think yourself to be something, or somebody, is death and hell.” - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Commentary: Of most relevance to the occasion, when you express perceptions of the world without the verb “to be,” the telling forces upon awareness a change in per...

-thanks for schooling me per retrograde revolution of venus btw. No worries gaffo, but I think you still might be a little off the mark with the what retrograde is as oppsed to my main point - that, Venus and Uranus are the only two planets that revolve on their axis (on their poles) in an opposite...

Re: my god

Imagine if he wrote: "Christians ignore atonement, and the cross is immaterial to them and utterly irrelevant." Would anybody believe him? And yet, he insists that there's such a thing as a "Christian Gnostic." :shock: Go figure. It is Gnostic Christian, usually. Still no such t...

Re: Imperefct God

Ignore the word "cult" if you want. It won't change anything. Gnosticism is not at all Christian, and cannot be, regardless of what anybody claims. Anybody who thinks otherwise simply has no idea what a "Christian" is. The last time I checked there is no copyright on the term, &...
