Can I suppose it asserts in beautiful fashion that which you do above? First, my favorite form of literature is not poetry, even though I do love a good poem, look at my alias that should tell you what form I like the most; so it seems i also have other things. Second, suppose what you want.

Re: To be fair or not to be to Iano..
ck writes: the premise of the thread is IF the christian god as described in the bible exists. Therefore any question of "well he doesn't exist" isn't really within the scoop of the question. No, the premise is iano in his opening post writes: Even the most rabid athiest will accept that God of the Bible can well exist. Will, not if. If he had used 'even the most rabid atheist can accept the god of the bible could exist, that would be different now.
iano again from his opening post writes: They would also accept that Heaven and Hell of the Bible can exist (for simplicities sake: Heaven is bliss, Hell ain't) Here he uses can. So rabid atheist will accept god of the bible, then they can accept the concept of heaven and hell.I do not accept the concept of any god Also, what is his and your definition of a rabid atheist?

Re: To be fair or not to be to Iano..
Even the most rabid athiest will accept that God of the Bible can well exist. Will, not if Not will, well Well is the second word from the end of the sentence. Ck posted the premise of the thread is IF the christian god as described in the bible exists. bold mine Which i answered that you, iano, used will as the 6 word of the sentence, and if you had used can that would be different I never posted about well. If you misunderstood, thats okay. Edited by alacrity fitzhugh, : No reason given. Edited by alacrity fitzhugh, : No reason given.

Re: beyond . . . doubt
archer opterix writes: No and maybe not, but they're respectful Sorry, did not mean to imply any form of disrespect, just curious.
archer opterix writes: Taiwanese Buddhists often have Christian friends. Most of my friends and family are christian, the school my children go to is christian.
archer opterix writes: Catholics run a number of schools and missions here (most of the nuns seem to be Filipino) and Chiang Kai-Shek was a Methodist. They respect Jesus as they respect anyone's deity. Quan Yin devotees would have no problem with a person praying to both Guan Yin and Jesus if they felt the need. This is why I asked. Know as much about Buddhism as I know about christianity. Figured that if I asked you the answer would be to the point without any preaching.
archer opterix writes: A number of deities, bodhissatvas, and revered figures are prayed to here. One never rejects a figure someone else worships. One never knows, after all, what wisdom may lie in those mysteries. It's wise to be respectful. At the same time, no one expects to keep track of every figure a person might possibly pray to. More info, knew asking you I would get a great answer. Thank you.
archer opterix writes: I hope this answers your question. Yes it did, again thanks for the link and answer.
archer opterix writes: It's certainly safe to say the average Guan Yin devotee tends to be more knowledgable of, and accepting of, Jesus than the average Christian tends to be of Guan Yin. Its safe to say that, it is also safe to say most christians and Guan Yin devotee have never heard of Ye ho waah, google tsalagi.

Re: beyond . . . doubt
Thank you. We only have so much time to live, to limit your knowledge to just a very narrow area is sad. This could be deemed off topic, so again thank you, you have given me an area of learning that I will enjoy

archer opterix writes: Thanks, AF, for a lovely picture of a lovely lady. You are welcome, just that when I googling Guan Yin it came up with over 1.5 million links that was in the one that mention Taiwan. Figured I post it. Wanted to ask after I saw it if this is where David Mack got the idea for his character Kabuki ( Keyboard was and is still acting up, placing 7 intermittently while typing, need new batteries.)? I saw jar posted some excellent info, like he aways does.
