 If more people understood this, the world would be a 
 better place. What you believe doesn't mean shit. All 
 that matters is what you do.

So, that's your belief? LoL!

Barry, I think (hypotheticaly that is) that this is best stated from a first 
person ontology POV 'What I believe *IS* shit'. And if I impose my belief on 
you, and have this perspective, it might (a big if in the world of belief), 
help me to see what I am attempting to shovel down your throat, and recognising 
this, modify my behaviour.

This is not emphasised much in most spiritual traditions, because they seem to 
have devolved into promoting belief rather than illuminating this aspect of 
spiritual growth.

Om so,
Your beliefs don't make you a better person,
Your behavior does.

I played the blues on street corners.

Yes, so some people are [better] than others.
   On the vanguard of consciousness;  Uncle, what were you doing in the days 
of the great step forward of consciousness?  Well, Nephew I stayed in a rooming 
house in Paris writing code while it was all happening.
