JimC,
Even if the bible is not an accurate record of historical events, don't
you
agree that the principles taught in the new testament are those that are
good for society and individuals?
Yes, Lord Smithers, I would agree that "some" of the principles taught in
the new testament are in agreement with mine. I also will say that some of
the principles taught in the Koran are also very good principles to live by.
The really best principles to live by, imho, are those written by the
scholars of Buddha. Perhaps the best know today is Lhamo Dhondrub or most
commonly called Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dali Lama.

Now let's see how many folks here disparage the teachings of Buddha, or the Dali Lama. I'll bet
none.

What, pray tell, does your disparaging of the bible do for you? I can understand Harry doing so,
because he's simply hoping to **** someone off (it's part of NPD). But, why you?

You've stated you're not a Christian. Do you have *any* religious beliefs, or are you atheist?
