Ø lies again as usual.

I am only 72 years old.

I wish Ø would make a New Year resolution to quit posting lies!

Jesus said "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7).

So since ø judged, therefore, he is not a Christian!

Is ø a Muslim? Seems likely with his devotion to his beloved Palestinians!

Now you audaciously claim that your lie makes my "lie" even bigger!

I quickly accepted your claim of 72 even though I was aware of your
checkered history.

Now I can't believe anything you say -- even when you say your previous
statement was a lie.


You're going to have a lot to answer for come Judgement Day.


Merry Christmas and a happy new year to one and all!!

Actually, as I have stated many times before, I am philosophically a
Buddhist and, for me, Buddha is not a god/God, but rather a wise teacher...I
do not believe in any god/God, and much less in idols of any kind.

I do tend to suspect that reincarnation might be a valid principle. If so,
hopefully, Ø will reincarnate as something with a mentality above a rock!
Which, of course, will be a giant step forward for him!

Talk about the need to change one's ways...Ø, maybe there is still time for
you to change!

Notice that Ø did not deny being a Muslim!

Ø says below "Now I can't believe anything you say -- even when you say your
previous statement was a lie." If one lies about telling a lie...is the
initial "lie" the truth?

I'm doing to you what Jesus did to your philosophical ancestors/brethren
the Pharisees.

It's the LORD ALMIGHTY who's going to judge you.

I don't think your worship of your false idol "Israel" will serve you well
come judgment day.

Change your ways!
There is still time!

[Dennis M Reed "Califa"]

if you are really interested, I can supply some suggested reading but I
seriously doubt you have the ability to really understand.

can you provide examples which support your claim of any clinging/grasping
on my part?

so you don't understand the basics of reincarnation?

no one else seems to have a problem with the newsreader I am using...get
over it!

still not responding to your belief in Islam?

You seem to cling/grasp a lot for someone who claims to be philosophically
inclined toward Buddhism.

Reincarnation of what?

Depends on the specifics, I would think.

When are you going to get a real newsreader? In addition to making a mess
of the quotes within the msgs you're now making a mess of the subject
lines.

[Dennis M Reed "Califa"]

of course, they sound familiar, I simply reiterated your false claims.

missing the old days, yes...clinging to them, definitely no! the old days
are gone and I, in no way, wish to return to them even if it were possible.

the repetition of ideas/facts/teachings is common in Buddhism and is not
necessarily clinging...although there are forms of Buddhism which do believe
in Buddha as a god and cling to his salvation but this is not the form of
Buddhism to which I tend to lean.

reincarnation? if you don't know the principle(s), do a Google search.

you actually made me laugh! you calling me rude! definitely an example of
the pot calling the kettle black!

BTW many folks use the MS newsreader and, although they know its
limitations, they do not want to use a different newsreader...get over it!

regarding your status as a Muslim, are you a Muslim, a simple yes or no will
suffice?

or are you a Christian, yes or no?

or are you something else?

Sure. I didn't want to get into this, but...
Does the following sound familiar??????

The quoted part is buddha-reed-san in dukkha-land.
You've done the 'I miss the old rmal' number quite a few times.
That's why I gently reprimanded you and reminded you of the Buddhist
teaching.

That's pretty much the "examples" I have.
You bitching and moaning about how rmal used to be really nice, but Ø messed
it up.
Usually you would add one of your :>( to show your dukkha-meter was in high
territory..

Can you tell me what it is that is reincarnated?
That's the basic question I have.

They're too polite and civil.
They know how rude you can be and don't want you to go off the deep end.

So I'm supposed to just jump and answer the SAME questions over and over
again? Maybe I'll put all these questions you repeatedly ask in a FAQ and
direct you there every time your memory fails you.
I've already answered that question in the very broadest sense quite a few
times throughout the years.
Iirc, req asked me that question also, and I answered it directly.



MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL!!!

dmr: read the link you posted, I have no desire to repeat all the lies to
which you you have subscribe and repeated.

You must be very learned.

dmr: I have studied and experienced many things which support my
inclinations towards basic Buddhism.

> will suffice?

Do a search, because I've already told you.

dmr: there may be some who have not read your various responses...a simple
yes or no answer might be helpful to them.

I have a suggestion:
Keep a folder and whenever I answer one of you queries, just put my
reponse in that folder, so when your memory fries out, you can more easily
upload the info from the folder to your "brain".

dmr: why would I want to waste disk space filled with your posts? what is so
hard about providing a simple yes or no answer?
