The good news is that I am leaving the forum....I did not like me anyway.
I pushed the boundaries and got kicked in the ass.
The bad news is....I am coming back and reinventing myself.
I will be known as something else to avoid being mixed up with that old Vishva person.
Vedanta should not be victimized for my antics, because she is innocent
I will try to present her in her true light, for she was hidden from view and she really does have much to offer.
I apologize to everyone for causing so much upset, and I only wish that I had seen what I was doing earlier.

Do you admit that you were rude and wrong, or do you still blame everyone else's dishonesty?

Now I am apologizing for actually being rude...there is a slight difference.
And the second part of your comment....is
I admit that it was wrong to be rude.

-Removed-Quran 42:40 Although the just requital for an injustice is an equivalent retribution, those who pardon and maintain righteousness are rewarded by GOD. He does not love the unjust.
Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Originally posted by vishvahetuBefore you go, I have a question about reincarnation, who goes up and who goes down. You have a convicted, confessed murderer, he is to be executed by firing squad. The way that works is, you have say, ten men with rifles, only 3 of them have real bullets, the others blanks and nobody knows which is which, they all load the bullets into the guns, that way each individual gunman cannot say for sure if it was his gun that killed the murderer.
Yes......our humanness is a challenge
The question is, whose soul would reincarnate down? The jury that convicted the murderer, sentencing that person to death, knowing that person will die, the Judge who pronounces the sentence, or the gunmen. If it is to be the gunmen, which ones?

Not only does Vedanta have religious principles and rules for the person on the path to God, but it also has laws and rules for the secular.
When a career criminal is caught and the death penalty is handed down, the judge is following a system of law.
So when this law is carried out, it is coming under the heading of duty and not personal conduct.
The person firing the bullet that actually kills the criminal is acting under duty, and his duty is expressed by the law, and therefore for him there is no wrong.....just like in war the soldier is acting under duty and there is no wrong.
But if the war is an unjust war, then every soldier is implicated in wrong doing.
If there is no wrong there is no karma.
Actually when a career criminal rapist murderer is terminated, his sins are cleansed and his karma is reduced, but if he is not terminated for his serious crimes, his karma will have him suffer in his next life.
Remember in Vedic society the judge and law keepers know full well, that the material body is not the real person and that the soul shall take another birth.
