That's one of the greatest problems we Buddhists have in western society. The assumption I'm concerned about is "literal truth". People may argue over whether the Bible, the Talmud, the Koran, or even the Book of Mormon is literally true, but they all make the assumption that "literal truth" is possible.     I say it's not. Look at the nature of language. A word, for instance "dog", is a pattern of air vibrations, ink on paper, electronic on-off signals or whatever, that 2 or more entities have agreed to use to represent something else.----------------<a href="http://www.detective-group.com/hidden-assets.html" target="_blank">asset search</a><a href="http://www.myspacemaster.net" target="_blank">myspace layouts</a></blockquote>
