sorry to go off-topic a bit, but imstoned420, you'd mentioned Shpongle...
And I must say that Tales of the Inexpressible is the most incredible audio experience I've ever had on mushrooms  thanks for the memory oooooooo i got that seratonin waterfall-feeling going in my brain just thinking about it.

"People get swindled because they trust their feelings. The WTC bombing terrorists followed their feelings as did OJ. Feelings are useless as a measurement of any kind of truth.
"
Swami are you a mystic who doesnt trust intuition?

feelings are a measurement for YOUR truth... you were not there with the terrorists, so you cannot certainly tell me if they trusted their feelings...
besides the WTC event was necesarry for this planets evolution... there is no right and wrong, and you have just placed a judgement over that event...

although an argument for God vs. Homosexuals this letter did bring up some points:
BTW ... letter was sent to Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a us radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. eecently she said that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstances. the following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative.
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord -- Lev. 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness -- Lev. 15:19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination -- Lev. 11:10-- it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? -- Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

That is GREAT. 
--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

she didn't answer
this was an open letter and thats how i know about it but there is no answer ... imagine how pissed off she must have been or even funnier brushed it off as BS and called the writer of the letter a monster with no soul.

yeah man... i can picture her face while reading that letter... just beautiful!!!
it kinda reminds me of the jackass episode where knoxville (or was it margera) dresses up as the devil and runs around with a "keep god out of california" sign screaming "god didnt invent the circumcision... i did! he takes all the credit for it"... and then comes this one guy, grabs the sign and breaks it to pieces babbling something about jesus... and then he starts pushing knoxville around and when he has him agaisnt a car he actually punches him right in the fucking face... man that was some really really tough stuff right there... i couldnt believe my eyes... do those people even have a sense of humor? jeeeeeez... and then they wonder why no one wants to joint their church anymore...
