Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: If you knew of a spiritual practice that you were *certain*

[Dick Richardson]

I did answer it according to MY ethics and morality and the answer was NO - I do not give a shit about dharma or religions.  I am in charge of me and responsible for me whilst on this world not bloody priestcraft and their godamned religions mate.   Why are you lot so bloody rude all the time here.  Sod it, I did not want to come back here I was asked to - but stuff it, I will go where human beings exist and know how to be a little pleasant to each other for the short time we have here.  And where they have something to say which is worth hearing. Grow up for Christ sake.  Stick this list up your arse and enjoy it.   Dick.   ----- Original Message ----- From: authfriend To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 9:21 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: If you knew of a spiritual practice that you were *certain* --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Dick Richardson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In this month last year this list had 5302 emails - the most it has had in a month, and a hell of a lot.

One does not mess with other peoples minds and lives - talking can be both food for thought or turmoil for some - and that is problematic enough, and a choice we each have to make. Leave their inner growth to themselves. But mere words here or there can help a little - and for those who's ears cannot hear it then no problem, for they will wave it anyway. > > > > As for legislation of state laws, then that is invariable a hotchpotch made by fools and greedy sods for bigger fools and even more greedy sods. > > > > Merlin. > __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
