Dave,
Being a Christian is not in any way an impediment to participating in the Zen Forum. Bill!

I could try to explain it myself, but these do it better... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive_compulsive_disorder My particular kind of OCD is closest to Scrupulosity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive_compulsive_disorder Is being Christian an impediment to me being on here?

I find that zazen helps with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and while I don't want to go into too many details about that, they key is the fear of uncertainty. the fact that Zen embraces uncertainty is what appeals to me. > > I am nominally Christian, but I lean towards the more liberal end, i.e. Quaker or even further. I see Christianity's strength being in its ethical system, at least when properly applied. I would become even more involved with Zen, sadly there is no real Zendo near where I live. > > Anything else anyone would like to know? > __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5368 (20100815) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
