Classic! It reminds me of a very funny Japanese movie where one of the businessmen stuck in a military coup in the jungle of some made-up country tells his mates not to worry as he has a black belt in karate. The others ask him if it's true and he…

"To suggest that Christianity is "better than Islam" beggars belief. How many Christians go about bombing innocent civilians and carrying out evil acts of suicide bombings in order to gain 75 virgins in their version of 'heaven?'"

Um, you've lost me here...

Maybe you should read my posts a bit closer. It was the Taliban that destroyed the stone Buddhas that had been there for eons. Are you saying the Taliban are aggressive Buddhists?! If not, you lost me with that post. I am saying that Buddhists are fundamentally non-aggressive when…

Yes, but are the Buddhists in southern Thailand bombing the Muslim bombers back? From what you write, it sounds like the Muslims are the aggressors...

I actually happen to agree with him. Whether Islam is "better" than Christianity or not is debatable but it does appear true that a lot of the world's conflict areas have problems because of religion and intolerance. Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't think of any of these…

Isn't this all just one of nature's ways of trying to manage the population? Plus Darwin's survival of the fittest? By getting the flu, it makes some stronger but some will die. Then as our immunity increases, nature has to serve up a variant that will again catch the weak…
