@igm,
Well, igm, I do not think I am a bully here...frankly, because I do not think I am smart enough to do much bullying.
But I do not give up easily...and I will argue a point when it is still being contended.
If at any point I have descended to bullying...or even to rudeness beyond reason...I apologize.
I will readily acknowledge that Buddhist suggestions that they are "enlightened" or "more enlightened" by virtue of their "beliefs" (and that, for the most part is what Buddhism mostly is)...annoys me, so I tend to be especially tenacious when dealing with them.
What say we get back to the discussion at hand.
You seem to think the Buddha and you KNOW what the REALITY is...what can be excluded from REALITY.
I do not.
And I strongly suspect you guys do not either.
I appreciate you sharing your guesses about REALITY...and sharing the Buddha's guesses, but where do we go from there?
