Rest assured my friend my karmic slate is well in credit.The only thing I'll be experiencing in the afterlife is eternal bliss and nirvana.

If your Karmic slate is in credit, then why do you foreginers want to pay us so much for our sheep?
Perhaps you love our sheep more than we do.
Just for the record - There is no Buddhist Hell, exept life.
Just for the record - It was Andy who unholyed this discussion, I sank as low as him to defend by kiwi (non-mongrel) brothers.

Being 'Wicked' is a trait of mine

Being wicked is a trait of yours.Being a thick headed,obnoxious cretin is also a trait of yours.

Sorry, I didn't realise that we were resorting to childish name calling.

You have wise religious beliefs so I think you will get a better life next time, but you are kidding yourself to think you'll get nirvana.

I had my tongue firmly in my cheek when I posted this.I don't believe I am within a million miles of nirvana.To attain nirvana or spiritual enlightenment I believe an individual would have to completely reject material values and adopt an ascetic lifestyle.For anyone living in a modern western society such a thing would be very difficult and require enormous faith in their beliefs.I am not that brave although I believe I have chosen a path which will eventually allow spiritual growth and development.

If god did send foot and mouth disease to these shores i wonder why he/she could not come up with anything more dramatic or at least nasty. Maybe god is trying to wipe us out with malaria but if he/she is it's taking a hell of a long time - surely the almighty could be more effective in punishing us sinners.
All i can say is that if god does exist (which it doesn't) it has a great sense of humour, nearly as good as the author of the bible. Genesis should have a health warning - beware, reading this document may cause death from laughing too hard.
