Well,
My thoughts...
The Wyld Stalyns got it right: “Be Excellent To Each Other!”....“Bill and Ted’s
Excellent Adventure” was ahead of it’s time..
oh, geez...ok, realized that was a bad pun in itself...
Ok, I might incite a religious riot after the next paragraph...
Best line in in the movie “Dogma”: “Religion is a good IDEA...it’s all those
organized religions that screwed it all up..” (or something to that effect).
Having talked to people of different faiths and beliefs...religious texts are
vague enough to be interpreted several ways. How many different religions are
based on the Bible? I’ve observed that a lot of religions have very basic core
beliefs--all the rest are details that in the bigger picture--don’t mean much.
Kharma basically says what goes around, comes around... Wiccan belief says “what
you do, you get back times three”... if you take it to it’s basic statement,
sounds the same, doesn’t it?
Bottom line--people do nice things because others appreciate it, and it’s better
to have friends as a result, as opposed to being mean and having no friends...
