To be honest I think it would be interesting if you shared more. I'd like to learn more about Orthodoxy.

It seems to me you know plenty. If I find something for sharing I will.

Tomorrow I go to a Baptist church. I find the conflict/dichotomy of it all is entertaining/perplexing.

Less sacred feeling and more contemporary. Biblical teachings yet no incense and all the walls are bare.

And having a band at church and big screen tv's  is VERY ODD but they sound really great and joy is imminent.

Well then take care, and please do forgive me if I simply ignore your one-sided non-conversational pronouncements in the future.

Sometimes ignoring is good medicine.(for me)

I would like if some of your comments were further explained or elucidated upon in some manner - otherwise they simply seem dismissive or proclaimational without being in much of any way at all conversational. 
 

Which then rather unfortunately equates to pointless to respond to for me personally (and perhaps other members as well, although I have noticed some continue to try to engage with you, and can only surmise they are nicer, or perhaps friendlier than myself).

Its been a long day. I am not that friendly. Not much of a conversationalist. A bit of a fighter.

You seem to be developing a propensity to comment on various subjects  / philosophies / paths   here that people are discussing and saying how it isnt for you but how great Christianity is   - on a Daoist forum.

 

And then if you are questioned further about  your statements    .......      not forthcoming .

 

 

I dont think that I say how great it is.......its got its plus and minus.

Is there something specific Nungali that you need me to answer?

Do we all have to fit into an exact box? I find  its benefitting me to further my study of Christianity.

I still like reading at Dao Bums as I can manage.

I'm glad it works for you, but have no not considered that Christianity has a "Buddha" (one who has transcended) a "dhamma" (teachings) and a "sangha" (church/community)?

it works against me actually.

I take refuge in the Buddha the Dharma and Sangha- 

just is not my language.

it doesnt honor my lifes canvas completely.

I had to retrace steps to Christianity and make my way. my way includes partaking in religion of Orthodox faith.

responding to the black. didnt read anything else on fear

and like poetry I think it would be difficult to discuss fear.

How's that for cheesy?

rhetorical like the LASt

Coke in the desert.

whatever

Is there a problem with sitting on the pew and just behaving?
