Where did you get the idea that this is the standard fundamentalist ploy? What's wrong with being a fundamentalist anyway? Please tell me that. You yourself seem quite fundamentalistic in your acceptance of the atheistic gospel. >> Why do I preach in an atheistic conference?

You can >hide from reality all you want. Who is hiding from reality, smart boy? I'm the one who is not hiding from the fact that material life simply means to wait for your body to rot and die. You are the one who is trying to forget that fact by so many feverish and frantic means, like intoxication, sex, TV and the like. You are the week minded one who cannot accept the stark realities of material life, namely that your body is simply a bag of stool and urine, and that it will rot and die. You try to glace over reality with your petty dreams of name, fame and glory. You are simply being grinded away by time like a tiny insect, and because you can't face up to that fact, cowardly as you are, you just want to reduce the whole show to some neuro-chemical reactions in the brain, in this way freeing yourself from any responsibility of taking charge of your own existence. You are the one who is trying to forget the fact that you'll soon be dead by creating a phantasmagoria world in which you can picture yourself as the supreme enjoyer and controller, when in actuallity you are just a tiny, insignificant fish pathetically flapping a few seconds on the shores of time, then you are gone.

Is it my problem that you missed all these posts? I've been posting here for a year now. Is it my problem that you are so primitive that you think all religion is the same and don't even have a clue about Vedic culture? -Jahnu http://webcom.com/~ara/col/vv.html http://www.users.wineasy.se/storm/ http://www-ece.rice.edu/~vijaypai/hkindex.html
