Sunshine (szavanna): ah yes
Zen (zen.arado): first group I went to in SL
Sunshine (szavanna): did you like it?
Zen (zen.arado): it was ok I guess
Sunshine (szavanna): it was many years ago
Zen (zen.arado): but they were very scriptural
Zen (zen.arado): 5 years ago
Sunshine (szavanna): kk
Sunshine (szavanna): when PaB started also
Zen (zen.arado): they go what the Buddha said
Sunshine (szavanna): scriptural?
Sunshine (szavanna): sticking to the text too much?
Zen (zen.arado): yes
Sunshine (szavanna): kk
Zen (zen.arado): and science
Zen (zen.arado): a book called 'Buddhism Without Beliefs' is like their bible
Sunshine (szavanna): hmm
Zen (zen.arado): Stephen Batchelor
Sunshine (szavanna): interesting approach
Zen (zen.arado): Christian denomination I attended in RL was like that
Zen (zen.arado): they obey what it says in the Bible
Sunshine (szavanna): I never attended anything Christian

Sunshine (szavanna): and lots of arguments and all
Sunshine (szavanna): I prefer just to explore by myself
