Your Bible says what??

When somebody starts a sentence with "My Bible says,"  all I hear after that is bla bla bla.  Sure,  I'm tempted to answer with my own Bible bla bla bla, but  I don't.  They're looking for an argument and they won't get it from me.  Nothing goofier than Bible fighters quoting scripture at each other.

His Interestingness, the Dalai Lama

I like the Dalai Lama. Not quite ready to speak of him as "His Holiness," but I don't think he cares. He's cool.  He laughs a lot.  It looks like he doesn't take himself as seriously as his followers take themselves.

I kind of wonder what would happen if I met him and I said, "I like you. You are a real good person and you say good things.  But somehow I just can't address you as "Your Holiness." Maybe he would say "Forget the Holiness thing.  Let's just have a good chat."
