"Nothingness must surround God and the universe. "-Your use of the word "nothing" here is what isn't making any sense. It at least *signals* that you're using the word in the wrong context. That's why I keep switching back to "nonexistence." -When I joked last night, "I'll just wrap myself in nothing and go to bed." -Going back to the fridge example. "There's nothing in the fridge." -There's air in there. That's something. Your response would be, "well, then let the air out!"-We have a vaccum. But guess what... there's still *something* else in the fridge isn't there? -I await your answer to my two questions.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
