    http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1231684&page=1 [B] ...and of course, 'prussian blue' is also a reference to holocaust denial - a key argument is that prussian blue is a biproduct of zyklon-B gas, which supposedly has not been found in the gas chambers.

    a new, snappier username

    well, the name 'divine' has been feeling uncomfortable for a long time now. so i decided to follow jay's example (;)) and there it is. shortening or varying your username seems like the best way to ensure people doesn't become wildly confused as to who you are. in case you're wondering, d. is...

    ask divine and see if he answers!

    i realise my person does not warrant the same interest as someone like jay, sunstone or djamila - however some of you (yes you, monkey woman) has expressed interest in a thread such as this in the past, and this seem like a natural time to start one what with all the other 'ask me...' threads...

    ok, no need to post the dictionary definition - how would you define 'spirituality'? feel free to answer in the manner you see fit. 'spirituality' is a concept that's thrown around a lot here on RF - and outside of RF too for that matter - and i've kind of realised i have no idea how to...

    sexuality - a hypothetical question

    wasn't this an interesting statement : which immediately begs the question : imagine a person actually capable of choosing her/his sexuality, like one chooses what socks to wear, and this person chooses homo- or bisexuality. would this be in any way wrong or immoral? would it be a...

    chuang tzu

    hello all. i was wondering if you would mind sharing your opinions of the chang tzu? is it indispensable, or of very little relevance, or something in between? i haven't read it yet, as i'm fairly new to taoism, but it seems like some people hold this in very high regard and others...
