So what does 45 years of meditating or whatever he did, tell us that science or make believe religions don't? The mind is a bunch of grey matter firing away. Tried to read some Buddha teachings of the mind, and after much waffle and nothing of any substance, I gave up.

 

That is your problem, you need to practice not read. To be fair the same is true of me.

 

The Buddha, 2500 years ago, wrote a greate deal of sense on how to live a compassionate life as well.

Looking forward to life ending is the ultimate goal. That's the whole point of religion, to get to heaven.

 

And if getting to heaven is the ultimate goal, which it is then what is so wrong with abortion? Surely that is just bypassing the 70 odd years you have to live and going straight to heaven? I can't understand how a christian could be anti-abortion.

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

 

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

 

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

 

One student, however, wrote the following:

 

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

 

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

 

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

 

This gives two possibilities:

 

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

 

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in

Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

 

So which is it?

 

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you”, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

 

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A

Practice just being and stop doing for a while each day without interruption.

 

So at the moment I am not 'being'? And that's the response to me calling it waffle with no substance? It is impossible for me not to be 'being' every single day. Obviously you don't give any guidance on what I should be 'being' and so I'll have to assume that 'being' a **** is acceptable Buddhist practice!

Not sure what an Internet hoax has to do with creationist or 'being' a Buddhist?
