What religion? (no flaming!)

[Jenos Ridan]

That is what i do. Passionatly, though i do Ashtanga Yoga as well i am far more into Shaolin Kung Fu

I'm more of a Jujitsu-fighter myself, but a little Karate doesn't hurt (well, not me at any rate) .

I don't think he'll be able to read that for a while

Im a non-practising Germanic/nordic-pagan seperatist

It isnt really a religion, its more of a way of life

I believe that metal, meat, beer and sex are the 4 elements that make up life.

But I also believe in the beauty of nature. I hate people who litter, there is just no need for it, it makes me fume

My duty is to have rough sex with submissive hotties, to fight people i disagree with, to banquet on mutton and beef, and to drink excessively.

Given your choice of names, it doesn't surprise me.

Out of all the religious books i have read, the only one i would take seriously is the Bible. I know of no organized religion that follows it, so i don't bother with any organized religion. I don't follow the teachings of the Bible, so i don't call myself a "Christian", although i see a lot of the "Jesus Freaks" on this site that have no problem with such a contradiction.

I read what you're saying, but I think I need you to clarify this a little for me: 'Jesus Freaks' don't follow the bible? Isn't that like saying a jew that eats pork?

I like pot.

ME too, in fact I'm writing this under the influence...

Are there any other types of Sikh?

What i mean is, recent converts from other religions - or perhaps an atheist that realized that Sikhism was the one and only true faith.

And i'm not sure that the faith of one's parents should be the overriding
factor in one's own choice of religion - (but that seems to be the way of
the world) - make up your own mind.
But thats easy for me to say - i dont have fundamental parents, secular education, or political and cultural pressures -
but there surely comes a time when you should critically examine the traditions of your society or culture and question the authority given to them. And then decide.

Going back to my first point - i would be interested to know if Sikhism
is, in effect, inclusive or exclusive. Especially from a Sikh.

Cheers - and may your God go with you.

I'd be taking regular classes, but seeing as how the only good schools are about twenty miles away and I don't have a set of wheels, well, yeah.

Muay Thai?

I have fought against several opponents who study
uay Thai and they are really vicious. I have a great deal of respect for the art.

Jujitsu however is more suited to me. Before i found Shaolin i intermittently went to Jujitsu classes and i really enjoyed it. But when i found Shaolin (or rather it found me) i was hooked and i never went back. I really miss doing Kung Fu

[cloud]

im a mormon if no-one has mentioned it before.

[Dariune]

Lots of my cousins are Mormon. It has been mentioned before but that doesnt take away the validity of you saying it.

Yes it does.

[Dariune]

No. it doesnt.

Roman Catholic. (That's not exactly obvious, but as my icon is me wearing my Knights of Columbus regalia and the KoC is a Roman Catholic Men's fraternal organization is probably is obvious to some.)

Muay Thai is meant to be vicious, as it is an art well suited to 'rage-caging'-style fighting. In other words, street brawling. Not that it isn't effective, though. Their method of delievering round-house kicks impresses me, stepping into it rather and pivoting on the ball of the foot is a simpler motion to grasp. Jujitsu is also great for self-defense, hence why soldiers were taught it during WWI for fighting in the trenches.

[Dariune]

Were they? i didnt know that.

Jujitsu also has a very profound history which believe it or not was founded during the Shogun wars when the Shaolin travelled to Japan to fight, but then i expect you know more than i do on that.

My fondness for Shaolin is its versatility. I like the fact that it is nigh on impossible to know where a strike is coming from with Shaolin because they are so active and, for want of a better word, bouncy.

Roman Catholic...like everyone in my family.

Seems like Dariune is back. Welcome back!

[Dariune]

Thanks dude.

Yes for better or worse im back
