Neither did we so get off our backs!

I'm sick to death of holier than thou' people shoving their beliefs
down our throats and DARING to judge us!

Yep...gotta admit I know NOTHING about Buddhism, but this conversation is
reminding me a lot of some unhappy Baptists I know who delight in telling
anyone who makes the mistake of listening that if you don't go to *their*
church and believe in *their* God and *their* religion, you are absolutely
and positively going to hell! Their unpleasantness drove so many people out
of their own church that the pastor kicked THEM out. Good riddance. I
almost started going to church after that.....



My "church" is my back yard.... or a forest, or anywhere outdoors where
I can see and appreciate what gifts mother nature has given us. :-)
