Gangaji, the feminine guru, on who you truly are
I'm gonna keep *requeueing the granola-woven goodness until this hits the big time.
Gangaji, the feminine guru, on who you truly are
nice basic wisdom, but why do gurus always wear stupid looking clothes? Can't reach enlightenment without a caftan or shawl woven from granola? Upvote for concise wisdom.
Richard Dawkins - "What if you're wrong?"
so scientists don't know if god exists or not, but people like dawkins are 99.9999999% sure he doesn't, is that what you are saying?
i am neither religious nor atheist, i think god is the universe, and most days i think the universe exists. other days i think it's all a dream, woven by God.
People like Dawkins define God, and then show how ridiculous it is to believe in the God he just defined.
Fine, Dawky! That's just fine by me!
But you're not talking about my God, you're dissing some other guy.
He didn't answer the question, maybe the questioner was just interested to know his answer, maybe he could have been human about it instead of spitting back "that's a stupid question". I would like to know his answer, however stupid it seems to him. I didn't see the question as so challenging... he doth protest too much.
Pascal's wager is obviously stupid, because if you pretend to believe in the wrong god then you'll get nowhere. But if you believe in a universal supernatural force, sooner or later the science guys will catch up, work out how to measure and define the supernatural, and THEN i want a video of you eating your hat, posted on videosift. (but don't self link).
It's like i am having faith that science will go in a certain direction due to new discoveries. i am just guessing ahead of people like Dawkins, and I am not restricted by someone else's dogmatic definition of "science" and "god". And if you ask me "what if i am wrong?" then i say "i might have the consciousness to be pissed off about it, or i might be just plain dead, or i might be in hell, but at least i thought about it and made up my own mind."
Oh and don't forget, I have evidence, I feel God, i just can't show that evidence to you. So, it's proven to myself, and all I can do is tell you that if you look for him, you'll find him. Sounds a bit Christian? Well they're not far off.
Afghani War Rug Exhibit
I wish the quality was better with more detail. The artists' depictions of tanks and helicopters woven in next to the traditional borders and motifs are just stunning. Lots of close-ups and photos at the warrug.com site.
Harry Nilsson - c.1969
Harry Nilsson's amazing voice remains one of the aural icons of the 60's and early 70's. He's sung a number of songs that are woven tightly into the cultural tapestry of that era.
I really enjoyed these few minutes with Harry. Years later, he and John Lennon would make headlines for being kicked out of a Smothers Brothers performance, where they were in the audience heckling Tommy and Dick.
