It is a nice idea, but i'm not sure i have it in me to believe in such things as soulmates (in the 'predestined to meet' sense). 5 things i would very much like to believe in, but am unable to due to an innate requirement of tangible evidence:
1. A supreme being
2. Soulmates
3. Alien life
4. Bigfoot
5. That Disney will make a success of the Star Wars franchise.

Christs enemy was Satan.
So should we love Satan.

Hell (no pun intended) I could start my own religion just like men have been doing for the last six thousand years.
PS Robbie I am also a blood donor. Does that mean I go to hell in your religion or is that reserved for the child with cancer who got my blood.
You silly little man.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieI find any sufficiently evolved ontology includes this . i can't find any direct quote from bhuddism but there are a few examples of loving ones enemies from Guatama's life.
Yes it is the natural tendency, Christianity is surely unique in this regard to pray for and love ones enemies.

Seriously do you know what its like to battle against ignorance and prejudice? its very very tedious! Me thinks you need to learn to distinguish between the beliefs of different religions and denominations, you seem to have a tendency to lump them all together.
