Re: Think Buddhism is Peaceful And Tolerant?

Okay you guys. You're hilarious!

How dare you mock the Lord and his teachings. You will not be laughing when your spending eternity in hell.

Psalm 74:18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

Re: Think Buddhism is Peaceful And Tolerant?

Okay, I didn't want to have to get mean and nasty, or even bring intelligence or logic into the conversation

Thank you for that. This is a Christian forum based on the teachings of Our Lord as revealed through the Holy Scriptures, secular "logic" has no place here.

but you leave me now choice now. You have proven yourself to be a traditional Southern American

Which is confusing, since I was born and raised in England. I suppose what this means is that it's what inside what matters, not where we were born, but I wouldn't expect a racist like you to be able to understand that kind of idea.

with an 80 IQ (borderline mentally retarded) and the fascination with guns and killing ever present within you (think of the raven and it's fascination with "shiny objects"...ring a bell

You do realise that it's stereotypically the magpie that's renowned for stealing shiny objects? The raven is more known as a symbol of death, as featured in nauseating Goth literature such as the works of E.A. Poe. But don't let that put you off - considering how monumentally wrong you are about important things like the fate of your immortal soul, your bird-related confusion really isn't that much of a big deal.

- of course it doesn't b/c you don't have the neurons to process that).

Eh? What fresh idiocy is this? Of course I wouldn't have been able to understand that before Christ, I wasn't born then. More importantly, I wouldn't have been able to accept the sacrifice He made for me back then either. But that's irrelevant, because I was born a long time after Christ, so I was able to accept His love for me. Why won't you do the same?

The fact that you referred to killing Buddhists breaks one of the Ten Commandments "Thou shalt not kill" and many of Jesus' teachings such as "Turn the other cheek", "Treat your neighbor as you do thyself", etc, etc. Honestly Jesus would be ashamed to see scum like you spewing this garbage under the guise of Christianity you misguided, ignorant Southern rat.

Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Buddhism IS a peaceful and tolerant religion! There is so much peace and beauty and truth to be had if you would just take the time to read the Sutras!

I have learned so much about myself from the teachings of the Dalai Lama.

If you can learn something about yourself from the ravings of someone possessed by demons, then you know you're in serious trouble.

Well I'm an atheist soooooo I don't believe in God therefore God's "feelings" (which is weird in itself b/c if you were an omnipotent being, why would you have petty emotions that would only weaken you?) doesn't affect me in the slightest. Good try though, I remember my first comeback....though it was much better than that

Do you know how many times God mentions His feelings in the Bible? Do you even know how many times He mentions His jealousy? Do you even know that He just calls Himself "Jealous" at times?
Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

As for why God has emotions, that's up to Him; I suggest that in future you refrain from trying to tell Him what He can and cannot do.
