more strange things
1) Couple weeks ago I had a weird dream. This baby stared at me and spoke in the voice of a man, "[month], [day], you are going to die." The day is fast approaching! Should I wear extra padding, when I ride my bike to school?
2) Last night I was praying about something while driving, and when I finished, a huge (bigger than I have ever seen) meteorite fell through the sky right then. Think it means anything?
3) Does anyone find it a little ironic that after the pope quoted another pope who basically said that Islam is a religion spread by violence, thousands of muslims are burning him in effigy and rioting (again) ?

Hello TMM and all,
There is no truth without discernment and taking this situation out of context will never solve this world's problems. The straw that breaks the camel's back always follows the results of earlier deeds.
The Pope's choice of words was brain dead, in my humble opinion, if he was seeking to spread peace. He could have appealed for cooler heads and humility from all sides using any other words, but instead he chose to quote Crusade era hypocrisy that was guaranteed to inflame Muslims. Now we see the backtracking and spinning that always follows the gaffes of those afraid of simply telling the truth.
More proof that religion is the opposite of truth, wisdom, and justice
The "infallible" Grand Inquisitor (the pot) sought to lecture Islam (the kettle) about spreading religion through dark deeds by quoting a Dark Ages text while the USA and Europe are in the midst of the Neo-Crusades. The irony and absurdity in this situation is amazing, to say the least. It evidences both the fallacy and fallibility of those who vainly and arrogantly pretend to serve the Creator.
Dear Pope, ever heard of Karma or the golden rule? Ever stop to remember how the Vatican and western nations became so rich and powerful over the centuries? Ever consider giving up your blood drenched wealth and earthly power to end the blatant hypocrisy of your vain, materialistic, and duplicitous empire? Ever think of forgoing your peacock's robes to walk the walk instead of simply talking the talk? Remember the "eye of the needle" and "log and mote in the eye" parables? Is this a demonstration of your infallibility, wisdom, or utter blindness? As another wise one once said; What goes around comes around!
The West has killed far more Muslims (and other dark skins) than they have killed westerners, yet our press and leaders can only see Muslim and "third world" desperation in the face of western military and economic dominance and oppression, (in the name of God and country, by the way), as sources of evil in this world.
Guess what guys and girls, war, violence, and injustice are evil, no matter what the excuse or cause or who is doing it to whom. Anyone who thinks the Creator would judge religion, war, or any other profiteering at the expense of others as wise or acceptable activities has a very big surprise in store.
Here is Wisdom!!
...and here too...
Hello SSH.
But perhaps the padding would be what kills you--like Oedipus.
What were you praying for? Was it a miracle like the one when Shift was telling Puzzle to wear the lion-suit, or was it like what Shift interpreted that miracle as? "Don't even dare suggest it!" or "Certianly."
But, of course I don't really have any answers.
Come to think of it, I've been eating potatoes. Ben, is this recent slew of comments because I haven't mailed you a check for Siva yet? [sorry]
