I've only been around for a few days, but I love it here. I've joined other forums that are so caustic, people are afraid to speak up, for being ruthlessly attacked. Here, we have such a great mix of people from all backgrounds, able to debate subjects without loosing their cool. I'm so pleased I stumbled upon this site - it's very special.

The Lord High Moderators deserve much of the credit for the relative coolness of the discussions. But I agree, there are many highly informative and intelligent people here. (Especially those who agree with me.)

Sometimes I'll read some posts here and can feel my blood pressure rising a little, but then I make the mistake of scrolling down to the comments of some random Youtube video, or general comments on an article of a news website, and I'm reminded that even folks I highly disagree with here aren't so insane after all. Except in the politics forums. We all must be insane to comment there.

id love to know what people think of me here,not that it would bother me wether anyone liked me or not but i also feel that none here really knows me,i could probly go into a big essay here tryin to tell people what im like but i hav been using this site just to contemplate spiritual things and get an idea of people's views,and thanks to everyone that ever gave me a good oul thumbs up or a rep(which seems for me to be hard to get,must be the bad gramer and spellng),and understand i respect everyones beliefs(except ET doctrines,thats just joke~).

anyhway although im not really a religios person i do have certain faith in things,faith that through my own experience came about,but faith is over-rated too if you ask me,i could have faith in one thing in this moment and in the next tottaly loose faith in the sme thing,but im so convinced that Krishna exist's that its almose weird since i've only visited a temple twice and only to look around,i have no assotiation with devottees,which is an immportant part of devottee life.but i have never been a good or even a half descent representitive of these subjectc,i only try explainin things from either,and ill admit it,my knowledgs of the Vedas,which is exremely poor and from my own experiences.

but i have a book here that i came across,and i only bought it because their as loads of cool Krishna pics in it,but there are also a page written bye the writer at deal with these subject's,and although their is vasts amount of knowledge on these subject this book just gives a breifing that is a page or 2 long'.

so im goin to start posting some pages out of this book,ill make sure that i remember to say the writers name and ill just pick out what i think should go in here,you's can argue among yourselves about these topics because i ont be taking pART IN THE DISCUSSIONS,

BUT ALL IN ALL IT SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE A LITTLE BITOF A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HINDUISM,WHICH ISnt EVEN A WORD AND ILL START WITH THAT asap.

P.S................cITy Data,thanks fo givin me the oppurtunity o hang out with some real intersting people.




Good post. Going online and debating stuff is INCREDIBLY enlightening. I believe the Rider in Rev19 is an avatar with a user name. I believe the internet is the new Heaven and Earth. God's new favorite city. THe new Jarusalem. I have made one incredible discovery after another from everybody proclaiming Armmageddon on line. It isn't just the spirit working through me, it is ALL of us together that makes it all happen. I will always do this.

I think some of your ideas are pretty far out there, but I find you and your posts interesting. You are the only person that I forgive for such bad typos.
I imagine I can hear your accent with your grammar and slang terms, and I like that. It makes you more real to me.

I do enjoy the Hindu artwork. Pretty blue people!
glad you enjoy the artwork,windows to the spiritual world,and that you dont mind me bad grammer. BTW where is rivendell,because i just might drop in someday and pull you on that pint
