Wow!
Sixx,

Your response is exactly what I expected from you.
Not much to say in repsonse, but only to act childish.


"You aren't to bright are you?"

And you are?
Budhists and Hindus are very similar to you because they do not believe in a deity such as God.
They believe that they are a part of God in spiritual form.
God is with in, in essense, they can be God themselves.
Budhists are very liberal in their philosophy, there are different denominations with in it.
People who preach that you can believe in what ever you want or not believe in anything at all.
Similar to Atheists.....
Look it up....


"Wow, now I can say honestly, you are a fucking idiot."

I can say the same about you but I am a better man than that.
You simply lack knowlege, also known as ignorant.
Your ignorance leads you to conclude that I am ignorant.
Which I might be, but I'm sure I'm not ignorant when it comes to religion.
You see, I can admit my flaws. Can you?
Of coarse not, your ego wouldn't let you....

I bring facts, all you bring is your mouth.


"Once again your talking out of your ass."

Now who said this? Was it your mouth or your ass?
I want to talk to the horse's head, not the rear.
You judge me on what you presently know.
You currently lack knowlege so you are not entitled to judge me yet.


"What am I lying about? Name one statement! "

Oh, let me refresh your memory. Remember this?
**speakin on the bible**
"I have read it, studied it, and understood it"

You contradicted yourself on your responses which leads me to conclude that you were lying....


"Is that all you can say? "You dont have to lie to kick it"? It is you that is blind not me.

LMFAO@statement #5"

Are you kidding? Look at my previous repsonse. Didn't you read it? It was 2 posts long.
Is this all you have to say?
I once were blind like you. But I've been like this ever since my eye's openned up.
It's like you're living in Wonderland, everything appears to be real but isn't. The world isn't the way it appears to be in your eyes. Just because you can see this illusion, it doesn't mean you can see what's really going on.

That's why I advice you to,
open your mind and expand your thoughts.
If there is one thing that sinks into your head, let that be it.

You are not being as open minded as you think you are.
You are fixated on the idea that there isn't a force such as the deity of God.
Fine, believe that since you can't see the ultimate reality.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Just keep an open mind, seek it and you will find the answers to all your questions about life.

Don't get stuck on one idea like I once did, keep searching....
And be open to any possibilities


"You have crushed everything I said? Are you serious? You have crushed nothing...The only thing you did on this thread is prove how uneducated and prejudice you really are."

Hey man it ain't my fault that you don't like what I say.
But I only speak the truth....
Call it my opinion but that is the truth and it scares you....

Me uneducated? Yes I have crushed everything you've said.
You lack knowlege and cannot even deffend your arguments.
But it isn't your fault, there is no argument for your cause.
That is why you have resorted to childish behavior as the debate has gone deeper....


"You dont even know me, how could you possibly no why I am an atheist?"

I don't know you. But I do know that Atheists are only acting out of rebellion to the idea of a greater force.
It's either that or the lack of knowlege AKA ignorance....

Mis-information has a lot to do with it, people love to mislead others.
It can also be the result of man's ego....


"I'm not going to waste anymore time on you. I tried to have a civilized discussion with you but the more you talk the more bullshit comes out."

That's what we started with but you're pissed off by the truth.
I know the truth hurts, maybe I'm insensative.
But who cares, you're not a baby anymore.
I didn't lie.
I just made you smell your own shit....


"Open your mind bro...."

I did, what do you think got me to this point?
You are missing the point, it is you who thinks in an enclosed box.

Budhists do not believe they can be God. This is a misperception out of ignorance just like any atheist misperception of God. Don't fall folly to that which you are preaching against. Perhaps we all need to open our minds. Yes, I am sure in some ways atheist and Budhists have things in commons. In some ways even Christians have things in common with atheists.

n9ne,

Sorry bro, my girl's dad was once a Budhist and now converted to Islam.
And one of my best friends comes from a Budhist home, he's now a Prostestant Christian.
I researched every religion before making my choice....

Budhist do not believe they can be god, but part of God.
God has created everything in their eyes,
so everything can relate to God.
Their philosophy is very complicated and I understand what you speak on.
That is why I only draw comparisons to make certain points.
They have a self centered philosophical view of the world similar to Atheism.
Christian, Jews, and Muslims are the only ones who are instructed to give. Is it just a coincedence that these 3 major religions are all connected?

No. Budhists are not "self-centered". At least not in the same way conceived in atheism. Yes, they believe in looking within to find answers. But, they are quicker to humble themselves more often than a Christian. Budhists don't believe they can be a part of God, but that they are a part of God. As is everything.
Where else do you experience God? Where else do you see and feel the world? through your own mind. Through yourself. The Zen-Budhist meditation practice is the silencing of the busy mind. It is the humbling of their ego's before God. Christian prayer and Budhist meditation are of the same nature.

miggidy,

remember, this thread is about war over religion. If we can't reconcile our differences then we will continue this until it is our demise. Every religion has a different perspective and sometimes a different way of approaching truth....
BTW... Happy B-day, man!

n9ne,

Agreed, but they have different denominations with little differences of philosophy.
I'm not sure what group populates most of Japan,
but I'll look it up.
They are taught not to associate with the lower class.
Meaning poor, sick, what ever the reason.
One of the many reasons why the Chinese hate them.
That is why Japan wouldn't trade with anyone until the US forced trade on them. LOL!
Remember, a lot of Christians were persecuted in Japan prior to WW2.

Same reason why for a long time Shaolin Monks wouldn't take any outsiders in.
Like in the Muslim world, things are starting to change and they are openning up more.

My status is to help others bro.
Coming from the land of the blind myself, I'm just trying to help others open their eyes.
My flaw is that I can't help but to be brutally honest and insensative.
I know that I need to change that because I tend to get on certain people's bad side and there for even if I'm right, they won't listen and rebell.
My plan is to show everyone the truth, whether they like it or not.
We have been misguided and lied to for way too long....

The powers that be are only getting stronger.
And it's up to us to change that....


I agree with the spiritual side of Budhism to the fullest.
There is untapped energy with in us.
For instance when Budha says that we can find God with in us.
I find that similar to Jesus if you look at it in a metaphor way of Jesus's crucifiction and how he resurrected and went straight to heaven in physical form. What is the message here?
It's what Buddha had been saying all along, you can reach Nirvana in your physical form. Meaning that you can be one with God. Jesus went to heaven in his physical body.
Interesting when you look at biblical scripture that way....

Did you know that there are many similarities between the Buddha and Jesus?
For instance, Buddha had a similar encounter with temptation like Jesus. At least Buddha claims, in a form of a metaphor.
Satan tried to tempt Jesus with Power and wealth, while Buddha was tested with the temptation of lust and wealth. I think those were the ones.

I agree, people will always be people....
For instance Buddha said himself that he was still searching for the ultimate truth before passing away.
But people still ran off with his philosophy and made a religion out of it...
