The URL doesn't come up when I click on it, but it does appear to be
correct when I put it in manually. So that's kind of a mystery. Maybe
there is some invisible character or something in there? I dunno.
Anyway, I've reentered the URL:
http://www.watkinsbooks.com/review/watkins-spiritual-100-list
None of them appear to be Christians, or Jews, or Islamists, by the
way. Here's a list of the top 10:

To me.....................................Deepak is a full of shit
profiteer.

What a disappointment, not one political appointee.........

GLOBALIST
talk-show folks, entertainers...Louise Hayes is a witch. I still
remember when she was wanting guys on their last legs with AIDS to pay
for her positive thinking stuff. Most of them deny to the hilt that
they are religious, cause it would drive the paying audience away.
I've heard most of them talk and after you pick up their first
stick ...they repeat it 5 million times.

To be honest, the only ones I'm familiar with are Nelson Mandela and
Desmond Tutu. Come to think of it Desmond Tutu is a Christian cleric.
So there is at least one Catholic on the 100 list, I guess. I remember
Tutu issued some scathing criticisms of Bush and Tony Blair, calling
the Iraq war immoral. So he's definitely one person I would put on my
own most admired list.
GLOBALIST
uneducated dickheads were half as educated as he was.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepak_Chopra
His father was one of the best cardiologists in India, his brother is
a specialist and he was himself, endocrinologist.
I am not one of his devotees, but I listen to him if he is on.
But I saw the discussion with him and your Pope of the Church of the
Atheists, Dawkins. Dawkins was rude, mean, arrogant and a son of a
bitch that only likes to put other people down and show his rigid
orthodox dogmas. Great representative of the "free" thinkers.

Actually I find him interesting, but a bit commercial. Tolle is
really good. All the various Buddhists on the list are people I
enjoy, with the exception of Sogyal Rinpoche who is no good at all.
Globalist is right about Chopra being a brilliant doctor who does
spirituality as a sideline.

Surely you can't say that about the Dalai Lama who is #2 on the list?

it. His followers are going to disobey his directives. I don't
understand the ins and outs but I will find it. One gal in a
discussion group posted it and every in the group pounced on here and
I found the video , where she was correct.

Trust me in that I am familiar with just about every flap going on in
the tibetan buddhist world. I am pretty sure I know what you are
talking about, and if it is what I think it is, he is right.

' 'Only one on the list I cannot stick...Deepak to me is a ful lof shit
profiteer."
Well, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of agreeing with High
Miles - though not with the language, and also, I would add some more to
the list.
But, I have no argument with Evelyn's admiration of those; everyone is
free to choose their own philosophy of life; but certainly I would not
choose many of those.
However, I would add that, if Evelyn would ask us to be tolerant and
understanding and admiring of the ones she listed, then how come she is
ever so intolerant of anyone who IS religious. Makes no sense!
I am not religious - but respect those who feel they need and want to
be.

Several years ago someone spotted a picture of the Dalai Lama on the
dash of a New Delhi taxi -- with the words "Be Stoked" across the
bottom. Something like this:
http://birdhouse.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/bestoked-tm.jpg
Since then it has popped up all over the world. I thought it was so
cool that I hunted around the web for an appropriate picture, added
the lettering, and had some printed up. I think it has earned me a
discount from my Tibetan handyman. (-8
BTW -- Why isn't Sordo somewhere on that list?

I've never heard of Dawkins, but here are a couple of quotes I found:
"Not a single one of your ancestors died young. They all copulated at
least once."
"My last vestige of "hands off religion" respect disappeared in the
smoke and choking dust of September 11th 2001, followed by the
"National Day of Prayer," when prelates and pastors did their
tremulous Martin Luther King impersonations and urged people of
mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the
very force that caused the problem in the first place."

The situation sort of reminds me of all those people over the last 20
years or so who have told me that I need to switch over to Linux since
it was the up and coming thing. I always told them that if they wanted
to switch, do it on their own computer, mine works just fine. :-)

What a crock of shit.

That's the trouble with so-called "upgrades". After
much struggle, you get to where you're finally
comfortable with an application or operating system,
then they turn it upside down and jerk it all around,
usually with no compensating benefit to anyone who
isn't trying to make a living using the application.
Evelyn
You just get used to one program or application, then a new thing
comes around and you have to relearn all over again how to do the same
simple things with different rules. It is a pain.

We used it at the lab for that reason.
But for us casual, end users, winders is fine.
And XP is still a fine stable product.

> and Explorer.
I worked on a computer for a friend about 6 months ago and his Chrome
browser seemed to be using an inordinate amount of CPU cycles and
slowing down his computer. Then I did a search on Google and found
that there seemed to be a lot of complaints about it on the internet.
As I recall, the problem might have been the WOT (web of trust) add-
on, I dunno. Anyway, I'm probably overly conservative when it comes to
installing new stuff and I still look at Chrome as relatively new.
