    The ganesha thread reminded me of this video

    Haven't even thought about it in years. Watch and you'll understand why that thread brought it to mind. Best line in the whole video

    I agree, although Ganesha is a Hindu god.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Whichever. I'm cool with both lol. And contrary to popular belief, I'm cool with Christianity too. I'm just not cool with any of it being shoved down my throat, including atheism. I've actually told a few atheists off in my day, including my own husband, who has since mellowed out (cuz of me) but he used to say that anyone who "believed any of that god shit" was an idiot. I reminded him that even though I don't ascribe to any particular religion, *I* believe in some "god shit".

    That was great! From the same people as Home Movies? Gotta love tech support, whether from India, the US, Indonesia, or planet Xerxes!

    Ganeezha? (Phonetically spelled)

    Just learned that Buddhaism came from Hinduism. So, in a sense, it's both.

    BTW....we share the same approach to "god shit." The more varied my studies of this stuff becomes, the more commonality I see across the board.

    Thanks again.

    It seems that Jainist had words in their lexicon that described things that only a handful can today.
