I really enjoyed your posts in the paradox thread, man. I really love talking to someone who can debate without arguing, especially when it comes to philosophy. I think we could start our own thread!
I studied classical western philosophy in school, but as I grew older, I studied a lot of eastern philosophy (much of which we call religion, but I think the lines becom blurred at a certain point)- Confucianism, Taoism both have some great philosophical concepts, but my favorite is Zen. Buddhism is a pretty cool, laid back religion to begin with, but the Zen ideals are very accomodating and encompassing. Zen koans are a riot too. What other religion has you study jokes? Thanks again Phil.
