  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Oh, a variation on the old "Those who say do not know, and those who know do not say" Buddhism bit? Interesting. If you tell us about it, then you in fact do not know it? Therefore you should refrain from teaching it? Can you give us some koans to get us started at least?



*** - I cannot teach POAH. your either of POAH or your not. If you are of POAH you know it

So basically you made up your own religion then and you can't tell anyone about it in any way? Are you afraid we will attack and ridicule it?

There should be no ridicule within any religion, I believe you are allowing others to affect your mindset in all fairness.

I agree. I would not attack or ridicule anyone's beliefs. I am simply curious of alternative spirituality and religion. vibrio, if you are not comfortable talking about your beliefs, I understand. I shall inquire no more. God bless.

Um you left the trolling and the website promotion there.

And a strange website it is. From what I gather "brand ascendancy" means that POAH is a brand name. They even have a gift shop. I thought vibrio was joking about the polo shirt thing. It seems to me that vibrio is being mysterious for the purpose of promoting POAH. And here I thought POAH might have been an interesting twist on Buddhist philosophy.
:(
