my friend is debating which faith he should follow. his options are to become a muslim, sikh or a shintoist, what is your spiritual advice?

I was making light of the stupid questions. And I was expecting him to respond with some comment about a fifth of wiskey, but I never expected such a comment coming from such a sweet, naive lady, like yourself. Have I grossly misjudged your naivety?
The Instructor
Who else thinks that?

No. You already adamantly disbelieve the premise. It would be like preaching to a stone.

I know. I hope you don't mind me backing you up on that one. Despite our difference in ontology, I think your pretty hot.
(I had to look up ontology on Wikipedia. I'm not real big on Philosophy, in school I barely passed the mandatory courses in it.)
Originally posted by karoly aczelHmmm, yes, perhaps I spoke out of turn. I do understand your version of God is different than mine. But when you make fun of the Christian God as being a 'sky fairy', it makes me think maybe you're thinking it's too abstract to be real.
