WOW! I've been missing a lot of interesting,and heavy topics by not coming here for a while! Just my lil' take on the religion bit--I was not brought up with any religion at all. Going to church as a kid was my own idea cause I saw a bunch of kids getting on a bus every Sunday and I wanted to know what it was like, so I got up early one day and got on that bus! I don't even remember what denom. it was, but I tries it off and on for a few years, but as I got older, it really started seeming absurd for me to go to church and pray, etc. To each his won (as long as no one gets hurt) but it's not for me. -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

Okay here's the story of Buddha, coz I DID study that one, in college of all places CLICK HERE. -- spoot, 01:32:43 07/20/01 Fri

Oh I forgot to mention that Buddha is not a name, it's a title, like teacher or wise man or enlightened one, I forget which one.... (NT) -- spoot, 01:37:43 07/20/01 Fri

Thanks for sharing your insight, Gumtree. Growing up in a non religion household, we still had the Bible on our bookshelf and I read it frequently--like any other book of stories. (NT) -- Bean *dodging any rocks or stick for sayin' that*, 14:24:12 07/20/01 Fri
