It obviously matters a great deal to him.

Of course you can. But my point is the same as it's ever
been -- why on Earth would you choose to demean the concept
of enlightenment by assuming that someone with Jimbo's 
posting history represents it? 

For example, I've never, ever claimed to be enlightened,
but he's claimed I have. That's called lying. If you believe
that Jimbo is enlightened, then you believe that the enlight-
ened lie. 

Jimbo has also in the past ranted that the things he says
are true by definition because he says them. The reasoning
for this, one assumes, is that the enlightened have the
ability to discern "truth." That said, he has claimed that
the Buddha -- someone who didn't believe in the concept
of God -- said "God is love." Doesn't that make you go a 
little WTF?  :-)

Don't get me wrong...Jim has the right to indulge in 
whatever narcissistic fantasies he wants to. It's just
that in doing so he diminishes and embarrasses the entire
history of the belief in enlightenment, so I give him
shit about it, so he'll do more of it. He never fails
to disappoint.  :-)
