Did you ever notice the diameter of an Asian person's hair?  It is thicker than a Causcasians.  I am sure the sheer thickness has something to do with it.

very good question if you ask me.\n\nprobably has something to do with perspective. Things that are closer to you appear larger, while things that are further away seem smaller... figuritively, of course...

Toss up between Yogi and Boo Boo.

you can't say that either one is better.. that would be ignorant.. but understandable if you are one of those two races.. because people are always trying to represent.  But both are of Asian decent..  they kinda look similar,, but defiantly not the same... with different cultures and basically they are just different... its like comparing Mexicans and Puerto Ricans

There is a difficulty with this question, at least as usually asked.  It assumes any distinction will be a nice, neat one like that made made between ""hand" and "foot",   or perhaps, on the other hand, that the words are pretty much interchangeable.\n\nFor the purpose of this question, the second view is much closer to the truth than the first.   Because each of these CAN be and is used to speak of the whole "inner being", that is, in at least some important contexts, they CAN be interchanged. (Examples cited by Source #1 -Luke 1:46-47; Phil. 1:27; Matt. 20:28, cf. 27:50; Heb. 12:23, cf. Rev. 6:9)\n\nThe key point to note is that the Bible is NOT interested in laying out a careful distinction of the human person into a number of distinct "parts".  If we head down that road, we'll have to add in "heart" and ""mind", not to mention "kidneys"...  each of which has its own emphasis and flavor, and each of which appears in its own figures of speech.   In other words, you cannot take ANY of these words and simply be interchange it wherever it may appear with one or more of the others.  That is, each carries a particular idea, or better cluster of ideas.   BUTthat does NOT mean that we should start thinking that each refers to a distinct "part" of a human person.  In fact, the biblical writers are not interested in laying out a detailed "structure" of man.    (Looking at someone from the point of view of their ideas, emotions, will, etc. does not mean that you think each of these is a distinct "part".)\n\nI've listed three links below which, at different levels, lay out the facts very nicely -- I won't try to do the same here.   But basically, I believe the biblical view boils down to this:  man [each person, that is] is a unitary/unified being, but there are TWO basic 'aspects'.   I hesitate to say too much about 'parts' because the complete person is created to be BOTH.  Thus our "inner being" ('immaterial') -- most often called "soul" or "spirit"-- is joined to the physical/material body.  (But it is NOT the Greek view of the "real person"/"spirit" trapped inside a body that it wants to escape.  The Hebrew & Christian hope is the RESURRECTION of the body -- in our being COMPLETE beings, 'body and spirit/soul'.)\n\nThe sources discuss the few (two actually) passages that seem to distinguish "soul" and "spirit" very well.  The point is to emphasize the COMPLETE person, not to divide him up.     In fact, the 'greatest commandment' does the same thing ('Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength!')   We would miss the point if we tried to use it as a list of our distinct "parts" -- and we'd probably be further confused in this, because the OT and NT versions have slightly different lists!  \n\nMuch of the confusion on this question stems not just from the assumption I mentioned at the start, but from a related assumption that each of these words is used in only ONE sense, a neat technical sense, the same whenever it is found.  But, like much of human language, this is simply not so.   In fact, we ourselves continue to use these words in a variety of senses.   Example: "When I finally arrived not a soul was there!"  In this case the word simply means 'persons' or 'individuals'  (it has this as ONE of its biblical uses).   "I was very troubled in my soul"  and "He spoke with such soul" are two other uses that clearly do not have exactly the same sense as the first.\n\nThis should not be troubling, since we are perfectly able to distinguish the range of meanings of words in our own language; the same is true of biblical Hebrew and Greek.  Reading through ALL the passages that use these words we are generally pre

Not sure what you mean, but Siddhartha (Buddha) was raised in the Hindu faith. A lot of the concepts of Hinduism have thus found their way into Buddhism.

Buddha is believed to be the tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Being. His teachings (Buddhism) originated in India but is more widely practised in other countries of south east Asia.\n--------\nWell, my two questions are:\n\na) How does one get over love and yet remain loving?\n\nb) What can strengthen a loveless child apart from love and care?

nopperabo i think is the real name of that class of spirit.  it's from japanese folklore, actually.  it's a malicious spirit that has no face and basically tries to eat you.  for more, i suggest going to y'local bookseller for something on traditional japanese ghost stories.

Yes, Buddhism is atheistic as it has no god figure. Buddha is viewed only as a prophet and their view of reincarnation is controlled by a universal force, not a conscious being.
