"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

SEE? SEE!

Me (the religious guy) and Kara (the Atheist) agree on this. There's no doubt now that it is bad.

Why?

Also, I'm starting to think Buddhism is the single most peaceful and complete religion on earth. Although Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion.

There is also a form (Shintoïsm, I think) which Worships Buddha as a god-like being. During a certain period (around 1600 and such) of civil war in Japan, the portugese arrived. When eventually a not so fond of christians guy won the wars, he put all the portugese priests on the boat, let the boat float, and then put it on fire, burning or drowning the Portugese. (The Dutch were allowed to trade with Japan during that period, either because they were not really fond of christians either or they could swim, which kinda ruined the execution method).

If you worship a figure, but fail to understand that figure's messages, that's not worship; it's idolatry. That goes for your priest-butchers, as well as the author of that video (who apparently never read the warnings in the Gospels or the Book of Job about presuming to know God's will.)

I forget the exact logic, but seem to recall this being a koan or at least a common Hindu saying.

I thought the line where he says "I have toasts to be burning the image of the Virgin Mary on!" was pretty funny. Otherwise it was lame.

I believe this is typically attributed to Linji. It's part of a Chan parable that's meant to caution against the complacency that results from feeling that one's search for meaning has been satisfied. If you meet the Buddha, it will not really be the Buddha, but a manifestation of your desire for some tangible affirmation.
