And which mod asked you to calm down? Or are the mods exempt from being overly emotional about posts. Just because you have the power to control other posters' style of response doesn't mean you should ignore your own. I don't make the rules maureen , I follow them.....It's that simply.For yourself too?If I was as nasty as you say I am I would have ban you for not taking the aviator off and doing it just to get back at the mods. I dont truly care what you do on the board.When did I say you were nasty? I said you were emotional. And I'm surprised you didn't ban me, because that what mods seem to do lately when they don't like something that disagrees with their opinion - remember power corrupts. And for your info she is selling it, but it doesnt mean who ever buys it will keep it a forum. We all must realize that.It also doesn't mean that whoever buys it will get rid of it.M. Quote
Guest lt Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Maureen nobody has been ban or put on mod status for awhile. I wouldnt call asking Rodney to remove his aviator, emotional, or asking shanstress not to get so upset that her post get nasty to others. Quote
Guest Taoist_Saint Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 May I suggest a compromise? Perhaps LT can use private messages to make suggestions to people like Rodney and Shan in the future. In return, Maureen can change her avatar to something cute and cuddly. Quote
Guest lt Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 I agree to the first part,the secound part would be anything that doesnt seem demon like, it doesnt have to be cuties uties Quote

Maureen Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Originally posted by Taoist_Saint@May 28 2004, 09:22 AM And despite what I said in that other thread, I'll agree that that avatar does look more like a demon than a burned and Resurrected Christian before he got his flesh back Are you sure Taoist, because I think you may have something there regarding the metamorphosis of the demon looking dead guy into Wesley Crusher. You should write the next TNG movie - oh but wait - no more movies for TNG. Hey what about Voyager, are you a Voyager fan. They could really use a movie. :) M. Quote
Guest Taoist_Saint Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Cool! I made peace! I did my good deed for the day B) Quote
Maureen Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Maybe I watch too many horror movies.Not at all, Taoist. Your visual descriptions of the resurrecting bodies were visually descriptive. I'm teasing. But I do see in your near future, those bedtime stories you read your daughter will be quite exciting and she'll be too excited to actually go to sleep - you know like Harry Potter, nothing weird like Tom, Betty and Susan. (Did you learn to read from Tom, Betty and Susan or am I aging myself?) M. Quote
Jason Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 "Sorry, Jason...looks like there won't be a cat fight in a Mr. Turtle pool full of green jello." Dang it. I was hoping for an "Old School" type of matchup. I would have been "blue". Quote

You might be...I don't know who Tom, Betty and Susan are...I grew up reading Lloyd Alexander, Roald Dahl...and that guy who wrote "The House with the Clock in its Walls".Then I moved on to Stephen King when I was 12. Stephen King at 12??? I didn't read him until I was 40 and that was too young! It scared the bageeebies out of me...It was that one about the family who broke down in the RV....did you ever read that crazy thang??? Quote
Maureen Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Originally posted by Taoist_Saint@May 28 2004, 10:13 AM I don't know who Tom, Betty and Susan are... When I started Grade 1 these books about Tom, Betty and Susan were used to teach kids to read, here's a description:MY LITTLE RED STORY BOOKBy Odille Ousley & David H. RussellMy Little Red Story Book was originally issued in 1948 as the first pre-primer in the Ginn Basic Reading series. This title followed the Readiness book, Fun with Tom and Betty. My Little Red Story Book was revised and reissued in 1953, 1957, 1961, 1964 and 1966.If I can remember the plot it went something like this:Tom can run,See Tom run.Tom can run fast!I figured since you're originally from Canada you may have heard of these books, but I guess you're not old enough. :)M.

Ray Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Originally posted by Taoist Saint@ May 27 2004, 02:48 PMBuddha is not a god. He was a man named Siddhartha Gautama. He became the first "Buddha"...a being who has become awakened to the ultimate truth of life, one who perceives the true entity of all phenomena, and who leads others to attain the same enlightenment.As the first Buddha, he became known as THE BUDDHA.I would not say Jesus is Buddha.But I think it is possible that Jesus was a Buddha. But Jesus also claimed to be a god. I don't know if Buddhism denies the existence of gods...I don't think it does...it just does not consider gods to be important in the way western religions do. I imagine they perceive gods to be illusions...the same way the rest of the world is considered an illusion. Maybe someone else knows more about this than me and can explain it.As for Allah, you are correct that he is the same god that we worship...the god of Abraham...despite the fact that some Evangelical Fundamentalists believe Allah is a pagan "moon god".Muslims obviously believe different things about Jesus...they believe he is a great prophet, not a god.In Arabic "Allah" simply means "the god". I think it breaks up like this:al = thelah = godNotice the similarity between "Lah" and "El". El was that Canaanite god we were talking about in another thread. Both words translate into the word "god". Plural of El is Elohim, of course...so maybe Allah=El(ohim)?However, since the LDS have 2 gods (Jehovah and Elohim) it would be difficult to say which one Allah is. I would guess that Allah=Jehovah. In any case, Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same god of Abraham, but they believe different things about that god...and they all believe they have the only truth about the god of Abraham.So anyway, I hope that helps...Yes, it helped a lot. Thank you.And I think you may want to reconsider whether or not Jesus was Buddha, if you define Buddha as: a being who has become awakened to the ultimate truth of life, who perceives the true entity of all phenomena, and who leads others to attain the same enlightenment.I believe that Jesus is such a being, and that it is only through Him that we can attain our ultimate potential. And why do we need Jesus, you may ask? Because Jesus is the Christ, the only one who has redeemed us from our “fallen condition”, or who can redeem us if we will accept what He has done for us. This “fallen condition” was or is the condition of living our lives without God to help us become the persons we could become with His counsel and guidance in our lives. We got into this “fallen condition” when Adam and Eve went against the counsel and guidance of God in the garden of Eden, and as they had been warned, their disobedience would result and did result in certain consequences. God couldn’t just forgive them for disobeying His counsel and guidance unless He provided a means whereby they could be forgiven, otherwise there would have been no justice and God would have been a liar for having said that there would be certain consequences to their actions. But there were certain consequences to their actions, and there was a means provided whereby Adam and Eve and all of their children could be forgiven, and that means was and is through the Atonement of Christ.Anyway, just a short explanation for why we need Christ, for those who don’t know.Lots of people seem to overlook the idea that we can’t forgive ourselves for the mistakes we have made, or the guilt we feel for having made those mistakes. And nobody else can cleanse us from the guilt we feel from the mistakes we have made either. Nobody but Christ, that is. All we need to receive that forgiveness is Faith in Christ and Repentance for the mistakes we have made that we no longer desire to make again. Faith in Christ, or the assurance and confirmation of truth that there must be a Christ, and that Jesus is that Christ, is the key to understanding everything. Once you know that you know that any other religion that fails to acknowledge the need for a Christ, or who that Christ is, has failed to consider something. And btw, if Jesus was Buddha, He still is, because He still lives as the same person that He has always been. I’m not saying that Jesus is the same person as Siddhartha Gautama. I’m saying that if a person is a Buddha, they are Buddha, even though one person may not be the same person that some people refer to as the Buddha, or simply Buddha. Get it? It’s just like saying that if a person is a Daddy, they are Daddy, even though one person may not be the same person that some people refer to as the Daddy, or simply Daddy. Quote
Guest Taoist_Saint Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 When I was 12 I read "Cujo", and it did scare the...bageeebies...out of me. Quote
Guest Taoist_Saint Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 That sounds like "###### and Jane" stories...which I have heard of but never read... Quote
Guest Taoist_Saint Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Umm...ok...Let's call them "Richard and Jane". Quote
Guest Taoist_Saint Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Jesus was definately a buddha, by that definition. But according to Christian theology, he was more than that...he was a god. Quote
