My MIL flipped her lid one time while I was there. She said some of her friends have been trying to convert her to Christianity and she's seriously offended and discusted about communion. She says her religion closely resembles Budhist, except she believes that when she dies, she's just nothing. I find that disconcerting, the thought of just disappearing!fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:

Ugh, I miss my mind... Let's see I can remember any.

 

There was one in which an old couple gives their daughter to this young chap, he then takes over the place, forcing them to move into a small hut and hardly giving them any food. The SIL goes hunting each day, taking the old man with him to drive the animals thru a gap. The SIL is a good shot, but only wounds a buffalo and somehow he ends up with a clot of blood from the buffalo, hides it and takes it home. At home he tells his wife to boil some water and he dumps in the clot of blood, which turns into a baby. Thru a ritual, the baby is an adult by the next day. He gets rid of the evil SIL and then turns his attention to other repressed creatures. It was a Blackfoot myth called Blood-Clot. I can't remember it's Native American name, started with a K, Kutoyis I think.Jo Cwazy <heartwork wrote:

Yeah, it was a very thought provoking class about world wide religions. Some of the myths were just too far fetched for me to even imagine. I guess that is what faith is.

Re: Heathens

 

I took a mythology class, based on Joseph Campbell's Hero of a Thousand faces. He said that the major religions are really the same thing, with the characters called by different names. He also said that the religious stories were symbolic of things, not actual events, to help us understand what can not be understood.

The holy grail nonsense stems from the story that a couple of them climbed over the back wall scaling the cliffs carrying some"sacred holy treasure" before they surrendered.

Load of twaddle, but interesting twaddle nevertheless!

Not worried, what can I do about it, worrying does nothing. No, just don't want to imagine that I cease to exist. Apparently communion really strikes a chord with her and she blows her head. Also interesting to note that she loves to be put to sleep for things, while I hate it, I would prefer to be conscious.

Hmmmmm, what would you say if you found out someone on this list was Native American, or shared in Native American Religious Beliefs/Paths? Please tread lightly when talking of others faith stories since you do not know the faiths of all those on this list. This is actually a rather lovely story in its complete form. A savior/helper is sent to one in need. Not too different from another story I have heard spread around alot, something about a virgin giving birth to a savior who dies on a cross. Just something to think about.

Ah, but must we all not find our own way in this world. It may or may not be the path of our parents, but if it is the path that helps us and we are happy, is that so bad? Believe it or not, there might just be many paths on this journey.

Not quite.... It is not "his" consciousness that Buddists are part of, it is more a universal consciousness. I could recommend some great title if you want to read up on it. The teachings are very good for working on issues about "letting go" and "non-judgementalism".

I add a few tablespoons of whole-wheat flour to a squeezed-out container

of tofu, along with some basil and garlic, and it comes out similar to

ricotta.

Thanks for the tip Serene, sounds good, and not a mention of religion! I love it when a plan comes together.

*giggle* I'm an atheist. Religion, in general, bores me. Food, on the

other hand.

 

Last night, we had thick slices of vegan olive bread spread with a paste

of freshly roasted garlic, olive oil, and salt, and topped with roasted

red peppers (from a jar). What have y'all been eating that's yummy

lately? I'm back after a long nomail period, and I'm vegan again (for 5

days now, after two years of on-again-off-again), so I'm looking for my

vicarious food porn. :-)

As you seem to know a bit about food, can you advise me as to which olives should I try ( never tried them), there seem to be so many types - green/black/greek/spanish/stuffed etc.

Also being the philistine that I am,and never tried them before, I bought some figs to try the other week as they were reduced. What on earth do you do with them? Do you peel them? do you eat all those seeds? I eat some of them , but to be honest they were sweet, but seedy.........

I know a lot of you out there are thinking, what is he like eh?but I never usually have money to spend on exotics.( he says taking a sip of his banana bread beer!)

You've never tried olives at all? Give these a try:

 

Ripe (black) olives are the mildest. They are not as salty or as, um,

pickled-tasting as the rest.

 

More pungent, and saltier, are Spanish olives. These are a favorite of

mine because I grew up for part of my childhood in Spain. They're

wonderful sliced into pasta sauce, but I just eat them out of the jar

most of the time. They're also really good to put out in a bowl as a

party snack because they're so pretty.

 

Kalamata are the ones I'd try next if I were you. Greek, salty, and a

touch sweet, they're great on salads. Also, try mincing them up and

using them as a sandwich ingredient. They're great in a hummus sandwich.

 

Let me know how you like these three and I'll tell you what you might

like next. Where do you live? Do you have a good grocery store near you

with an olive bar?

Oh, my gosh, figs are my absolute favorite. One of my husbands just

bought some more land behind his house, and the most exciting thing

about that to me is the THREE fig trees! You don't have to peel them.

Have you ever had a fig newton? The seeds are interesting, and if you

get used to them, you might like them. Just eat the fig whole, cutting

off the little hard stem part.

Sounds interesting. I don't like beer, but they sure do have some fun

varieties these days. Guy (the husband I mentioned above) loves dark

beers, and he likes to try new ones whenever we're someplace that serves

a large variety of beer.

By the way, black olives are really good in Mexican food. They just seem

to fit.

I live in one of the south wales valleys about 20 miles from the nearest deli that sells olives loose! I have looked at them but never tried them. My mother has a ja of pickled olives (green I think in vinegar with oregano) which she is going to put on a piza that she is going to make for me next week. ( sad isnt it,married, nearly 44 and still my mother cooks for me once a week!)

 

I`ll let you know,

Hi serene,

 

I am glad that you are back!

I love spanish olives,

once I went to a tapas bar and alls they had was like a million variations of olive tapas.

They were delicious.

 

I saw a small fig tree at a local nursery... I almost bought it.

It was exciting, a city person like myself had never seen a fig tree, with fig fruit. : )

can people eat those right off the tree or do you have to make Jam out of them?

A plain, ripe fig, fresh from the tree, is one of the true joys of life.

Actually DragonSpiritHealer, if you would have read the post, you would have seen that it was a myth that *I* have trouble with. I did not, nor never plan on stomping on other's beliefs and in actuallity, I am Native American, among many other things. I was asked what I believe in and while a lovely story, as you mentioned, I don't belive it. I accept that other's have different beliefs and sexual preferences and as far as I'm concerned, that's ok. It's what makes this world a beautiful rainbow.DragonSpiritHealer <dragonspirithealer wrote:

 

Hmmmmm, what would you say if you found out someone on this list was Native American, or shared in Native American Religious Beliefs/Paths? Please tread lightly when talking of others faith stories since you do not know the faiths of all those on this list. This is actually a rather lovely story in its complete form. A savior/helper is sent to one in need. Not too different from another story I have heard spread around alot, something about a virgin giving birth to a savior who dies on a cross. Just something to think about.

There was one in which an old couple gives their daughter to this young chap, he then takes over the place, forcing them to move into a small hut and hardly giving them any food. The SIL goes hunting each day, taking the old man with him to drive the animals thru a gap. The SIL is a good shot, but only wounds a buffalo and somehow he ends up with a clot of blood from the buffalo, hides it and takes it home. At home he tells his wife to boil some water and he dumps in the clot of blood, which turns into a baby. Thru a ritual, the baby is an adult by the next day. He gets rid of the evil SIL and then turns his attention to other repressed creatures. It was a Blackfoot myth called Blood-Clot.

Hmm... banana bread bread? Sounds intriguing! I didn't used to drink (until doc told me 1 alcoholic drink a day is good for the heart) and we went to some breweries for meals. I remember reading about jalepeno beer and some others, that I now want to go try. Gotta be a very frosty mug and the beer icy cold though.

I taught at a high school where mostly

everyone was evangelical. NO ONE had ever met an atheist. They thought we

were just myths.

 

One day, a teacher asked me if she could “lay

her hands on my head” to cure me of atheism. I politely said, “No,

thank you.”

 

Then I realized – if I had offered

to lay my hands on someone’s head to help them become an atheist, I would

have been fired in a heartbeat.

 

And the Christians in the US think they

are sooo abused….
