"One of Buddha's admonitions to his followers was not to get caught up in these kinds of discussions since it just wastes time. Life is short and none of us has time to waste."
Beautifully said. Now lets all sit meditation for 20 minutes.

I'm sure I probably wrote this before about one of your write ups . I'm a atheist , but man I do love reading your thoughts . It makes me feel good as a human to know that you can have a "religious" belief and yet also have common sense . I've seen your book in the local store I hang about at , I'll have to give it a look see next time I'm there .
It is possible to be atheistic and a Buddhist. I am a Buddhist but do not believe in a deity. Everything is sacred.

Great article. I also don't understand why evolution has to cancel out god, but then, I don't believe The Bible was written by a god either.
