I wouldn't agree with you that most (or even many) arguments for the existence of God or Gods are based on emotionality and adventure stories, even if most scriptures at the heart of religions have these type of mythologies. Or at least, really considered arguments as opposed to simple subscription to the religion. I do agree, though, that most people haven't thought about, and don't ever really consider these things at all other than go along with whatever tradition in which they were raised. What's funny to me is the fact that even watching such a hopelessly funny clip as this one still evokes some interiority in me and it's a real high I can't deny. We've both written about the whole issue of 'attention' and one of the things I enjoy about Hinduism is just how much information is tightly packed into the images and stories of the Gods and Goddesses. At first, for me, it was all about deconstructing what 'this' meant and what 'that' meant, two arms or four arms, eight arms or ten or a thousand, this weapon, that skin color, victorious over these demons or those asuras, etc. Over time the rich texture of all those individualized, personalized bits and pieces of information created (for me, again) a kind of wonderful insight into my own consciousness (or *this* consciousness, the only one I know). All this stuff does a real number on consciousness (IMO) and the more you expose consciousness/attention to them then the more real not necessarily *they* become, but whatever it is that they are indicators of seems to grow in awareness. True also, I feel, with images of Buddha or Christ, etc.; I just seem to resonate with the Hindu vectors more. But I'd venture that a lot of religion is about enlivening attention through the use of certain images and constructs. Over time, perhaps, the specific images or one religion morph into others but there's some underlying natural push towards something bigger/greater than the individual that religion is one expression of.

I think that all I'm trying to say is that the notion that there is something bigger/greater than the indiv- idual lessens to some extent the eternality and infinite nature of the individual. I am infinite. Whatever that I chooses to believe it is at any given point in time, or even any point outside of time, it's still infinite. As so few seem to understand here, I'm really not expressing truths, or claiming that my view of things is better or more accurate or more evolved than theirs. It's just my view. My view is that the world I see around me is *enough* to inspire me, and to lift me to heights of subjec- tive ecstasy and bliss. I can be transported to what Maharishi calls GC by the sight of a lonely guy look- ing for Love Or Something Like It on the streets of Sitges at 3:00 AM. I walk on, and pass the cathedral on the hill overlooking the ocean, and find myself more transported to realms of bliss and ecstasy by the sound of the waves below me than by the idea of the cathedral behind me. It's *not* that I'm ragging on traditional metaphors for eternality and the infinite. I'm suggesting that there are more of them than most people are aware of.

Yeah, I thought the dreadlocks looked a little fakey, too, but who am I to doubt my own eyes. I'm not sure if I remember Davy Goliath, but it does ring a faint bell in my memory. I am a big fan of claymation, though, and if Nick Parks did a claymation Ramayana it would be fantastic. ** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Marek Reavis reavismarek@ wrote: To Curtis and all the rational atheists out there, perhaps you overlooked this historical video in your atheistic research. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5LtKh31m0o As is painfully obvious, there are no special effects that can be discerned in examining this video recorded on a wandering ascetic's cell phone.
