My tears started rolling down when I read the lines: <BR/>"- I love her more than anything in this world."<BR/>"- Well if that’s good enough for your mother I believe it’s good enough for your father too."<BR/><BR/>This 'God' reminds me of the conversations I had with my friend who is a dedicated Zen Buddhist. He would correct me straight away when I used the word 'soul' saying "we don't use and believe in soul in Buddhism", not to mention his strong reaction to the word God. It makes me wonder how he would respond to this post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-63853827645832386472008-11-12T14:57:00.000-08:002008-11-12T14:57:00.000-08:00one word... whoa...one word... whoa...Jason The Bald Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627263375973319097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-48220659786541801842008-11-07T12:55:00.000-08:002008-11-07T12:55:00.000-08:00where you from buddah?where you from buddah?adminpnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320230449712340157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-40712987720274698862008-11-02T14:55:00.000-08:002008-11-02T14:55:00.000-08:00"The question is not do you believe in God.
