My new favourite website.

"Just as in the United States there are laws controlling the entry of foreigners through the issuance of visas, so in the universe there are also laws controlling the movement of all living beings–even astronauts and scientists–and unless one’s karma is such that he deserves to take birth on the moon or the sun or the earth or wherever, he cannot defy the laws of nature and go there by force. The scientists are always claiming they are independent of nature’s law, but even they have to submit to death and rebirth; they cannot check them. Similarly, they cannot go to the moon planet, which the Vedas describe not as a lifeless desert but as a heavenly planet of extraordinary material pleasures. Where the astronauts actually went, or how this fabrication of lunar visitation will one day be exposed to people in general, are not part of our present discussion. But the Vedic teachings warn us that the manned moon landing is certainly an empty bluff. Duh, I eat poop."

That's right, Hare Krishna creationists.

How awesome is that?

A Slice Of Life

Me: torrain says I'm scary in online debates. Second opinion time: Would the idea of saying "John, I think you're a touch cracked here" bother you - not because you think I might be right, but because you might be afraid of what I might do in reaction?
jerril: You're very very enthusiastic about, well, anything you have an interest in, and to someone who wasn't familiar with that, might mis-interpret that as fanatical devotion to whatever viewpoint caught their attention.
Me: "But she says I'm scary."
jerril:: Me, basically I've realized that you have two settings: On, and Off
jerril: And you don't talk about Off stuff because it doesn't interest you
