What does the Zen philosopher Basho say about Tantric Sex?

[Flightdeck]

“...contrary to the popular universalistic lie that there are many roads leading to God, there is only one...”

So says a human who is as frail and sinful as the rest of us. This arrogant omniscience should piss off any humble person trying to do their best.

[trisham]

I was sorry to hear that as well. Imho, he’s making a mistake.

[Maneesh]

So now Hinduism which was around for centuries before Christ was a false new age religion ? I have the greatest respect for Christianity but when you go around bashing every other religion you alienate millions. According to your belief, the millions of Hindus in India will go to hell ? This is just absurd. What harm has a Hindu done to you and with rare exception you will find most Hindus very tolerant and complimentary of Christians.

“”is as frail and sinful as the rest of us””

How dare you express your opinion? Who gives you the right?
You are no better than the rest of us.

Please keep your preaching to yourself.

Hinduism alienates me.

Yes it is, and it alienates billions rather than millions. Even Jesus said those who aren't against us are for us.

when he takes his last breath he will end up losing the most important thing of all, HIS SOUL!

Best to let God hash that out with Tiger...No sense worrying about things we can't control.

The saddest part of Tiger’s statement was his denial that Elin had physically attacked him Thanksgiving night or ever. I believe he was lying, saving face, protecting her and staving off a worse legal mess. You could see that his nose had been broken, and he looks in general like a broken man. He is trying to save the “brand” and the empire at the expense of honesty. Too bad.

[Fyscat]

Hell fire and damnation. How many have died in the name of God? I know many people who attend church and say the same things. Ironically, they are the biggest B*st*rds around and surely heading to those fires of Hell. We all walk with a innate knowledge of what is good, what is evil. Whether we chose to listen is what decides where we go in the afterlife. It drives me crazy that people would dismiss what a good person does solely based on religion. That, quite frankly, is ignorance. Fortunately I am A Dead Sea Scroll type of person and such “mandatory ignorances” of institutionalized religion are clear to me.

[USMCPOP]

Somebody needs to read up a little on Buddhism.

[T Minus Four]

That made me sad too. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you turn to Jesus. Guess sometimes even that’s not enough.

[Paradox]

I rather think that if he truly gets into Buddhism, he may find help and solace in it. He ought to develop his Eightfold Path.

I think there are alot of ideas from Buddhism that anyone could use (once you separate them from the basic Buddhist epistemology).

[cizinec]

Why do y’all want to pick this guy up?

No offense, but the last thing we need is some “Christian” coming out and using Jesus as his excuse for doing stupid stuff. If he came out and said, “I love Jesus,” the press would have (rightly) laughed their butts off.

It’s not like he hasn’t heard the message, he just doesn’t like it. I wonder why.

So he says, “I love da buuuuuddha.” Nobody laughs, because the “religion” is a freaking joke, just like he is. People pick out the easy parts, rarely go to places of worship, have no clue what they believe is right or wrong and make a smorgasbord of the billion types of Budhism around.

Big deal. Phoney baloney boy has a phoney baloney religion.

I know, y’all want some big conversion story where Jesus changes his life and he gets on tv and converts a bunch of sinning golfers. Well, Tiger don’t want it and you can’t make him.

Golf is stupid anyway.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Well, we know that everyone who is saved, is saved by Jesus Christ, and Him alone. However we don't know that anybody is damned to hell just because they're a Buddhist.

We don't believe in Universalism, because every person can accept or reject the free gift of salvation; yet Scripture says, it is God's will that every man be saved; we also know from Scripture that Jesus Christ is "the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."(John 1:9)

Tiger needs Jesus, as do we all; but Jesus can save him if, not knowing that Jesus is the Light, Tiger seeks the Light.

Matthew 7:8
For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.

If Tiger Woods is truly seeking, I have every hope that he will find ...Jesus Christ!

G-D NEVER SLEEPS NOR SLUMBERS

Cute that in this hateful rant of yours you sort of misquote someone else's Book. Let Tiger and his Mother have the peace to believe they might be doing the right thing for themselves.

Did he? He disclaimed “Domestic Violence” which is a particularly loaded legal term.

His wife just gave him a good old and well deserved @$$ whoopin’ and he didn’t exactly lie about it. IMHO. Besides, it’s really none of our business.

[GatorGirl]

Good post, Mrs. Don-O

[ml/nj]

I believe he was lying, saving face, protecting her and staving off a worse legal mess.

I wonder why you say this. He didn't have to say anything at all about it, if he didn't want to.
