Greetings,

Allow me to suggest the following:

Any dependence on any Religious Faith shows a lack of self respect. People are unwilling and or unable to accept the fact of mortality. They prefer PIE IN THE SKY myths to the reality. Reality being that we are all responsible for our mistakes. Reality being that time wasted worshipping any and all GODS takes time away from the time you should be
dedicating to relationships with REAL people. Reality is that your Spirit and Memory will live on in your CHILDREN and GRANDCHILDREN and other FAMILY MEMBERS and FRIENDS and ASSOCIATES.

You better make sure that their REMEMBRANCES are good ones.

Bill

Mr. Ungaro,

Upon a close reading of The Book of Shadows I cannot aver the statements you post as fact. For I, The Dream Weaver, depend totally upon the religious content that underlie the mastery of my power over all creation and the Fates found therein. None can say that I, who touch all things earthly and heavenly, am without "self respect".

Surely you did not mean that one such as myself am subject to mortality. I am not. The Dream Weaver is immortal, eternally weaving the dreams on which gods and man feast. Yours, Mr. Ungaro, is not a truthful exposition of "reality".

Greetings DREAMER,

DREAM ON, just don't screw the world up for the rest of us.

Let me give you a little HUNGARIAN PHYLOSOPHY. People who are satisfied with QUOTAS live a life of basic subsistance.
People who AIM for GOALS are the achivers and the happy ones. People who are DREAMERS, sooner or later become DELUSIONAL. I think you folks have reached that level. Actually, I think that the RELIGIONIST have reached a level which is DEMENTIA. My reasons are as follows:

CREATION, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, VIRGIN BIRTH and all the other BELLS and WHISTLES upon which some or all RELIGIONS are based is known to be a MYTH. Yet some people are basing their life on this MYTH. Further, they suggest that I should subscribe to their beliefs which I call unreal DREAMS.

Dangerous stuff. Humanity have been TORMENTED by these DELUSIONS throughout history.

Good luck,

Bill

Mr. Ungaro,

Having on occasions partook of the arcane "PHYLOSOPHY" of the Hungarian, I find it an equivalent of inexpertly prepared goulash. They both leave a foul taste in the mouth.
My belief is that it is the ashes of a used up religion, and the mo practical folk don't wish to let go. Much like clinging to the ashes of their cremated relatives.

Those who fail to comprehend the profound meaning of my words are already on a faulty life support system. Heed my chant. It is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

Greetings Nonson,

My PHILOSOPHY is as good as my GULASH is. You should be so lucky to actually partake in my offerings. My BBQ is has worldwide following. One day I will tell you how I got to be such a GREAT CHEF and PHILOSOPHER.

Your reference to USED UP RELIGIONS is right on. We need to to the current ones on the TRASH HEEP also.

Good Luck,

Bill

Mr. Ungaro,

It is well said that your philosophy and your goulash are on equal footing, and of equal statue. Being of the more rational turn of mind, I could never have stated it so accurately.

But there seems to me to be a problem with your system of evaluation. If your BBQ is world reknown, would it not be more consistent with the ego to say that your philosophy is equal with your BBQ. Surely you are not pulling that old humble routine on one who is thrice wise.

Based on the mentioned inconsistencies, I now must hold in doubt your claim to "Great Chef"-hood. This is, of course, a conditional holding in abeyance of your claim. If you are preparing charity suppings for the local hobo population, then I will grant you your claim to CHEFHOOD. Those fellas are certainly cultured enough to know excellent cuisine we they taste it.

All these things are but dust particles upon the universal desert. This I know. For I am The
