According to Wikipedia... He caused my head to turn into a hideous (but improved) beast. The effect is me savaging his shins. Balance in the universe, and all that. LOL. I was being sarcastic. We covered Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism fairly well in my World Religions class before I dropped it (we'd just finished that unit). So I do know what the concept of Karma is for each of those religions (it varies, depending, and is nothing like our western view of it especially as seen in My Name is Earl). Oh. I'm sorry, it's hard to hear the sarcasm around that Cherry LOLpop. Heh heh My Name Is Earl... what a goofy show. |

*sighs* I think I have problems. What sort of problems? Serious ones, or are you just having trouble digesting Ginz? |

HAH. if you took a class on it, you probbly know my religion better than I do X3 No. It was a survey class. They were going to cram a study of nearly any religion you can name in the course of 16 weeks of classes. I lasted about a month before I dropped out (the class was too reading intensive for me to keep up and I was slipping in my other ones). And that was back in September or so, so I can't readily recall a lot of it. All though I did actually understand the concept of Samsara a lot better than most people in the class. |

My own religion (which is rather confusing >_> seeing as the whole thing's in a language which I should really learn to read already, I've been putting it off for FIVE YEARS) has got the whole reincarnation thing going... the idea (sort of.... like I said, I need to learn a whole language before I can really get it) is that you've got to learn all the lessons of life that you possibly can before you move on to eternal rest. So what you don't learnin one life, you'll have to elarn in another life; besically you keep having lives until you've gotten a full education, so to speak. That's not to say that you get unlimited second chances - your conduct in one life determines your species in the next :3 Sounds like Buddhism. Racking my brain, I distinctly recall a few passages in my history books about Karma and Dharma and reincarnation. I always imagined when I was younger what I would be reincarnated as. I hoped it was a penguin. ... *headdesk* |

I have digestion problems. I think my stomach misplaced Ginz.
And I have this strange liking for making up words...

I'm more of an Agnostic, I just had trouble reconciling Christianity and all the other religions with what I believed.

But each has their own distinct take on it. Dharma in Hinduism is not the same as Dharma in Buddhism for instance. |

*sighs* I think I have problems. Problems? Is your blood caffeine low? *checks IV drip* I know! *transmutes hospital* That sho- MY LEG! ACCURSED EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE! Hey, Eby, have you noticed that when Ed uses alchemy, he doesn't give something up in return? Example: Ed is notorious for pulling his big shiny lance of doooom out of the ground. How did he do it without giving up, I dunno, another big shiny lance of doooom? |

*bounces* I'm a Christian! Same here. Sorta. XD I'm not your everyday Christian. But I'm still a Christian. *nodnod* And very firm, solid, and adhere to those religious beliefs in my life and what I do/don't do. |
