"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

In Malaysia, Buddhism is often mixed with other things such as Taoism and bunch of Chinese Deities like Guan Yu, Tu Di Gong, Cai Shen, just to name a few, which is what I really sick of. I doubt anyone here who claims to be devout Buddhist actually knows what Buddhism is. Gautama Buddha didn't consider himself a god and rejected the existence of a creator deity and the views on creation.

And they are the most dangerous people in our country with the potential of causing an outrage in our country yet still able to get away with it and walk freely. They don't steal, rob, injure or kill people. What they do is to speak a few words and let the rest do their dirty work.

True philanthropists will never choose to ascend to the heaven, for they can't stand enjoying eternal peace and happiness while watching others suffer on the Earth, and they will do anything to remove God from its throne if necessary without hurting others in the process for the benefits of the human race.

We have some of that around here as well. Wait until you run into a few of our xtian nutjobs.
