What do you know about God and afterlife?
#13
RE: What do you know about God and afterlife?



I've never gotten the point of reincarnation. If you don't remember anything, what does it matter?

I'm reminded of an observation of Wittgenstein's about Hume's theory of mind. From a single image of a man on a hill, it's impossible to determine whether the man is going down the hill, or sliding backwards up it. Da fuk?

And this whole business about "entering the stream" seems like a bogus second tier in the karmic equation. Normal folk can go backwards or forwards. Except the normal folk who become special folk. Then a different set of rules applies. Da fuk?



I'd tell you what I know about my god, but then I'd have to kill you.

And you, and you, and you, and you, and you.....


Though I must admit, the whole "forget who you are" bit did give rise to one of the coolest goddesses ever, Meng Po Niang and her Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness. So it's not a total loss.
