Or a thai teaching thai language in the UK be forced to pray to the holy spirit.

^ its all the same bullshit in my godless opinion.

^I'd always thought you were a Sunday school teacher

Did one a few years back

Course went something like this.

Why are you in Thailand - Flippers say to make money, we say for women - wrong answer.
Can you write your name in Thai - no = we are not culturally aware.

...
Assistant director who attended the course whispers in my ear that he needs to go shopping for a bit. I jump at the chance and offer to drive leaving behind the other teachers we took there. Spend the day fannying about with the boss and hanging out on the beach.

repeat x 3 (remembering to sign in) and recieve a certificate.

The thai letters on my keyboard have nearly completely disappeared, they must add them on with biro or something like that. It's a logitech and the normal alphabet is still clear.

As for NickA:

I don't think their intention is for non-Buddhists to convert . . . Storm in a teacup.

^exactly... you don't even have to do it, just watch someone else do it.

Sorry Mr Hat
Did I make it a tad difficult for you? I was pointing out the stupidity of Whitey's words "They want farangs bowing to their false gods" Actually the article referenced in the OP only mentions "Showing respect to Buddha images" which whitey in his typical christian zealot mode turned into bowing to false gods. As a non Christian I also consider the effigies of a man being crucifierd as a common criminal to also be a false god, in much the same way as I also consider stained glass pictures of the so call trinity to be nothing more than an effigy to a false godhead. Yet when in Christian temples I am expected to, and actually do, show respect to the objects of worship that Christians have decided to use. I have been in such temples and been expected, nay almost forced, to dip my finger into a bowl of dubious quality water and annoint my body with it. Where is the difference in that to bowing ones head to a Buddha image?

Its about respect Mr Hat, if you and yours choose to worship the buttcrack of an aging buffalo as your godhead, then I may think you are as crazy as the christians, but I will still respect your godhead in your company, even if I do laugh my fcuking socks off when I am away from you

Why do the british consider anglo catholicism as their 'National Religion'? Why is the british monach 'Defender of the faith'?

Pot Kettle Blackass!!!!

. . . and why are you being so aggressive and arrogant in your posts towards everyone?


And, by the way, I really had no idea what you wrote as your words were meaningless gibberish . . . but then your coherent polemic is just as bad.

(I've not heard of anyone being forced to dip their fingers in the holy water in church . . . )

Ah there we have it, disagree with a christian and you disagree with everyone. Mr Hat, wake up smell the coffee, christianity is one of those dying religions.

Well it was written and aimed at those who claim to understand the bibberish in the King James Bible! Again, take a viespoint tat is diametrically opposed to that held true by christians and...

Now why would you see the need to put this statement in brackets?? Possibly because you and your kin are members of that which did the, ok not physical force, forcing. You do however, give yourself away as a catholic by your discription of that fetid water and 'holy', Ok thats your right as a catholic christian, please allow me my right as a non believer to think of it as it is, dank, old water!

You are too weird, and far too angry to continue this discussion with, but - no, I am not catholic . . . seems you falter at the first hurdle in your assumptions.

Oh:

wet argue you a paper couldn't your bag of out way


May your God be with you!
