Comment on Richard Dawkins DELUSION by Greg

"If two (or even more) civilizations without any connections created the belief that this world is a dream, would that be a signal to look not only in the white bearded old man as a God?"

No.. no it wouldn't. It would be a sign that some interesting anthropological studies could be done though. Probably relating to cultural similarities (old men as "wise" or "fatherly" for example), and potentially similar ancestral cultures or beliefs.

By that same logic you can say that all conspiracy theories are right (because more than one person, or group of people, that are unrelated, believe them to be true). I'm sure you don't mean to imply that either...

btw - I'm not posting here to be abusive or anything, it seemed to me that you'd like a good logical debate/discussion.

Comment on Islam and The Torah by M.A

This verse from The Holy Quran, stqatest that the books before The Quran were curropted!

{So woe to [the ones] who write the Book with their hands; thereafter they say, â€œThis is from [the providence of] Allah.â€ That they may trade it for a little price; So, woe to those for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned.}* (Al-Baqarah 2: 79)

Truden, it looks real nice -even with Wordpress ;)

OK, I have also updated the french version.
Have you tried to display a flea list (“liste Ã puce” en franÃ§ais) with your theme ? I think that there is something missing for that in the CSS.

Comment on Hip hop music (Rap music) by Truden

Truden — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:21:59 +0000

That's true for anything, not for rap music only.
But when we are searching for the roots we are looking at the style.
When we are attaching traditions, we are looking at the style.
Somehow they menage to attach roots and traditions (for the rap) taking them from Africa, where there is no sign for such a style.

Another thing: culture needs language.
African Americans do not use African language, therefore their culture can not be defined as African, but only as American. One can not say that "black" American culture derives from Africa, because the African language is dead in that ("black") culture.

Comment on Pleven – my town in Bulgaria by Truden

It is nice to hear that an English man loves Bulgaria and wants to move there :)
I'd love to check your web site, but unfortunately it does not open (endless loading).
I'll pop up immediately after it is available for South Africa (or may be it does not like me ;) )

Edit: I changed your URL by placing www in front of the domain name.
It does not open without it.

Very neat, well structured and easy to use web site.
Correct and helpful information.
I wish you success, dear English man :)

Comment on Truden vs. Advaita by Truden

Well, at least I did try to say what I said in better manner than yours, my friend.
To me it wasn't arguing.
To you it isâ€¦

The things are like they are.
We see them in different ways.
Then we say what we see.
And what you read here is what I see.

Silence is good.
You should learn it.

Comment on Awareness beforehand by Ka

Ka — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:09:30 +0000

Yes. When I wrote this for the first time, I wrote something like “can we ask / do we dare to ask…” :) People’s first reaction is to ask ‘how different’ and this is OK, provided they understand what they really ask, if there is logical “look-around”. Well, we obviously can ask, but we are most likely to fool ourselves, since we would ‘measure’ differences in the mind image.

I guess it is hot in Africa? I have different preferences and was just thinking about Norway or maybe Finland as great places to work and spend the summer, since I prefer cooler weather.
