11:22:01 AM+R0LLERyou are all elephants
11:22:03 AM+tomatobodhiI got super tired of hearing people reason this way: "I want a divorce. God hates divorce... buuuuut... God wants me to be happy, so..."
11:22:10 AM+R0LLERyou are all flying about in this room

11:22:31 AM+LowInformationVotertomatobodhi: Very few Christians live remotely as Christ recommended.
11:22:35 AM+R0LLERim sharper than any atom split today
11:22:55 AM+LowInformationVoterIn their partial defense, Christ espoused a fairly extremist ideology, from a human psychological viewpoint, and it's difficult to maintain.
11:22:58 AM+LowInformationVoterThe same is true for Buddha.
11:23:24 AM+tomatobodhinot extremist... just aspirational ethic
11:23:39 AM+tomatobodhisomething to shoot for, even if it is not very practical
11:23:57 AM+LowInformationVoterHow are you are defining extremist?
11:24:07 AM+LowInformationVoter"a person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, especially one who resorts to or advocates extreme action."
11:24:13 AM+R0LLERdoes the bible say i should indescriminately shoot every perverting the teaching
11:24:19 AM+LowInformationVoterGiving your property to people who hit you is extremely unusual.
11:24:25 AM+R0LLERits a pretty safe deal around here
11:24:33 AM+R0LLERwho will stand up to me araound here?
11:24:36 AM+tomatobodhiR0LLER, not with a gun... but I think slingshots (stoning) is approved

11:27:37 AM+R0LLERare you honestly priest sharp
11:27:38 AM+R0LLER?
11:27:45 AM+R0LLERaround here?
11:27:46 AM+tomatobodhiI did not know that about flies' wings.
11:28:05 AM+LowInformationVotertomatobodhi was faced with a choice.
11:28:20 AM+tomatobodhioh?
11:28:22 AM+LowInformationVoterObviously coherent chat with me, or dealing with lower quality chat with R0LLER.
11:28:27 AM+LowInformationVotertomatobodhi chose the second.

11:28:34 AM+R0LLERshut up.....im the master  water tap man
11:28:39 AM Ignoring R0LLER!*@*
11:28:54 AM+LowInformationVoterR0LLER: I put you on ignore, as you appear moderately stupid, especially after your last comment.
11:29:02 AM+tomatobodhiI don't generally get tied up with anyone who jumps straight to posting dictionary entries.
11:29:23 AM+LowInformationVotertomatobodhi: You feel that posting a dictionary entry for a word under dispute in a conversation is not optimal.
11:29:33 AM+LowInformationVoter1 - 11:22:55 AM+LowInformationVoterIn their partial defense, Christ espoused a fairly extremist ideology, from a human psychological viewpoint, and it's difficult to maintain.
11:29:36 AM+tomatobodhiIt is a legit debate strategy. I remember from HS: "Whoever defines the terms wins the debate."
11:29:39 AM+LowInformationVoter2 - 11:23:24 AM+tomatobodhinot extremist... just aspirational ethic
11:29:49 AM+LowInformationVoter3 - Here's a definition for extremist -- the word under dispute
11:29:52 AM+LowInformationVoter4 - Gosh!
11:30:10 AM+tomatobodhiBut it also usually means someone is pursuing "being right" or "winning."
11:30:20 AM+LowInformationVoterYour guess was wrong, in this case.
11:30:36 AM+tomatobodhistill sounds like right/wrong talk
11:30:43 AM+LowInformationVoterMisperception.

11:31:15 AM+tomatobodhiignore me too, LowInformationVoter
11:31:22 AM+LowInformationVoterI have been engaging a friend who is a solipsistic Buddhist renunciate.
11:31:43 AM+LowInformationVoterSolipsism is either a reasonable or possibly correct interpretation of Buddha's ideas.
11:31:50 AM+LowInformationVoterSolipsism is an extremist ideology.
11:31:56 AM+LowInformationVoterBuddhism is an extremist ideology.
11:32:01 AM+tomatobodhiRazorBack, I'm not usually interested in 'arguing' (for right/wrong... bragging rights?) but conversation.
11:32:08 AM+LowInformationVoterAnd, by a similar vein and understanding, Christ has an extremist ideology.
11:32:18 AM+LowInformationVotertomatobodhi: You self-describe as a Buddhist, correct?

11:33:05 AM* tomatobodhi bows.
11:33:10 AM* tomatobodhi peeks around.
11:33:12 AM+tomatobodhiWhy are we bowing?
11:33:13 AM+LowInformationVoterAsking a person to ignore you, without cause, is not consistent with Buddhism.
11:33:37 AM+tomatobodhiIn my circles, when someone says "Bow," you just bow first and look around to see why later.
11:34:23 AM+tomatobodhiI saw a cardinal in my yard with a big dead lizard in its beak
11:34:30 AM+tomatobodhiI didn't know they would kill and eat those.

11:35:22 AM+LowInformationVotertomatobodhi: I put you on ignore, as you're interested in keeping records of perceived wrongs, rather than having conversation.
11:35:43 AM+LowInformationVoterThat is both against the teachings of Buddha and Christ.
11:36:01 AM← sexbe has quit (Ping timeout)
11:36:04 AM+LowInformationVoterChrist, as we're to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, and love is defined as holding no record of wrongs, but always hoping, always protecting.
11:37:02 AM+LowInformationVoterBuddha, because we're supposed to accept most of our perceptions are misperceptions, to not anticipate the future -- as it never exists -- and to have an equanimous state in which we're immediately available for good questions even if preceded by one hundred bad questions.
11:37:43 AM+LowInformationVoterPerhaps you're merely following the school of tomatobodhi's Emotions, much like those divorcing, cheeto eating fake Christians you described earlier.
11:37:47 AM+LowInformationVoterTo each their own.
