Apology accepted. That wasn't a Christmas card, anyhow. It was a letter of condolence. All of us around here know about JC's Stempy obsession, as well as some of his other er... peculiarities.

If you paid attention to things around here, you'd remember that I am not a god. I am merely awake or enlightened if you prefer that term.

Well, Go, the rest of us have been meaning to talk to you about that one. For God's sake, don't send JC down again. The boy needs professional help and he shouldn't be messing with the world. The world has enough problems without him adding to them.

PR nothing. You need to overhaul your entire outfit from top to bottom. Get some new CEO's, and Lucifer definately has to go.

Actually, it's less than that. There are people that classify themselves as Christians but don't have the true love of me in them.

More than 20% of the total population is not happy though. Seems like you have a little work to do yourself..

I know it's less than that. I was trying to go easy on you. As far as work, I've taken the Bodisattva Vow. What have You done lately besides play golf?

Actually, we're not competitors. When's the last time some outfit calling itself the Buddha's Witnesses came knocking at YOUR door?

Are you coming in to take the territory? Maybe, but I don't think so.

I already HAVE the "territory" if that's what you want to call it (I love your American slang that You seem to have acquired). One day even you will become enlightened because all beings, even You, have Buddha nature.

Namaste - the Buddha
