Repo Man 03-14-04, 03:30 PM James R, I like it very much. That'll be getting forwarded to everyone on my email list. In my opinion, nothing is sacred. But this comes close. Why I Am Not A Christian, by Bertrand Russell (http://www.luminary.us/russell/not_christian.html) Hevene 03-15-04, 05:14 AM Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsch. However I do not define it as a sacred text, just a book that tells my truth. Jenyar 03-15-04, 06:11 AM Mine: Proverbs 26 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Something like a creationmyth or a story. The Enuma Elish is the story how Marduk defeated Tiamat - The Dragon of Chaos - and became the lord of the Gods and the universe. The reason why I havent posted for long is because of sickness (throatfever :( ) Heres is a better link to the Enuma Elish (http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~humm/Resources/Ane/enumaA.html) .

The Thunder, Perfect Mind I was sent forth from the power, and I have come to those who reflect upon me, and I have been found among those who seek after me. Look upon me, you who reflect upon me, and you hearers, hear me. You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves. And do not banish me from your sight. And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing. Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time. Be on your guard! Do not be ignorant of me.

I haven't finished reading them yet, but I am growing rather fond of The Vedas. The Teaching of Buddha is an excellent book. |
