(chanting hare krsna very fast to remove the bad thought)

cool. there was a guy here from the states like a month or so ago who also told me about this. krsnas are eveywhere. here's my site: www.harekrishnamontreal.com

Although I do not subscribe to your belief, I've always found the infectuous positivity exuded by Krshnas to be a boon to those exposed to it (both inside and outside the faith).

I think that the flower-children of LAX often gave it an unrealistic tint, but all good thoughts and deeds possess the potential for perpetuating manifestation of positive energy.

Me? I'm a voodooist.

what is my belief?

Veneration and exultation of the infinite incarnations of The Supreme Lord Vishnu (Narayana) by the continued recitation (both internally and externally) of the Maha mantra; the sixteen names of Narayana, as set forth by Lord Brahma, to combat the evil aspects of Kali.

Does this help?

As far as your personal belief, that's completely up to you, tiger.

Better ask Vishnu.

I am the left hands of Shiva.

or is it? do we believe what we want to believe or what we THINK we want to believe in but actually do not? shamanamanammmmm. harre krsna tiger wrooaah

When I saw the upskirt shots on the website, I was actually asking myself the same question ;)

alright here is my contribution to this thread now

good evenings

Self-interest? Self-direction? These are the polar opposites of tolerance and acceptance of uncertainty.. website=fail, epic in fact.

My universe holds an infinitude of possibilites, so my answer must be yes, no, and all of the above.

All are welcome.

you see, you and I only differ over semantics. whereas, I believe you could place the same metaphysical attachment to, say, the words "PEANUT BUTTER" (no disrespect intended) and achieve a duplicate end result of a lifetime of Maha Mantras, if you believed feverently enough. some would say that result would be nothing, others, everything. both and neither would be right.

the sum of all fruitions shall ever be beyond our grasp, yet it's still there, staring us in the face with its baleful eyes; EYES THAT NEVER BLINK.

where the fuck are the upskirts???

\\ah, yes-- who could conceive of autonomy and personal responsibility as markers of mental health and mutually exclusive with tolerance. yeah you teach that fool albert ellis who's boss lololol.

How can we even from an evolutionary standpoint, exist without cooperation and sacrifice? Self-interest is only successful when invested in the interests of others, human beings are most social of animals in our ability to empathize and experience the thoughts and feelings of others. This assists our survival. The way humans survived survival of the fittest is either (a) God or (b) social cooperation vs individual needs or (c) both.

you didn't actually make it to page 3, did you?

Oh yes, I did indeed. However I didn't see a need to waste the opening night for NBA arguing with you when I could be watching Lebron clown LA's arch nemesis the green goblin Boston Celtics ;)

Besides, I felt debunking the first page was sufficient enough for the night. I don't think I'm going to convince you in the slightest, just trying to smoke err.. stir the pot

welcome back fellow inter-dimensional traveler, you were originally here before my time.

well done, grasshopper

oh yeah ? ;)
