Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

Be that as it may, those who do not share the same religion do not necessarily share the same beliefs of "them and us". So what is perceived as an attack can indeed be an attempt at understanding.

Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

Oh, well, too late; my girlfriend and I went to Buddhist meditation yesterday, anyway. Oooh! How evil! </sarcasm>

Afterwards we spent most of the afternoon playing Anarchy Online. That's evil too, right?

I thought that was an internet service. AOL. No?

Whatever; that's how a couple of atheists spend Easter Sunday.

You were an agnostic not long ago. Now you're an atheist?

Why would you follow a god that damns you to hell no matter how you live your life for you will sin no matter what at some point, and the more literally you take the Bible the more impossible it is to escape this.

Because the alternative is Hell.

You can follow some imaginary, made-up god, in which case you will go to Hell . . . or you can follow Jesus, and if you are Saved(c), you will go to Heaven where you can worship and serve Him for all eternity!

Um actually your right Buddhism is often misconstrued by many whom consider it a religion, your completely right in thinking that it is a "Philosophy" and not "Religion".

Do you know the difference between the three major schools of Buddhism?

I'm guessing not. Two of them are most definitely religions.

Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

Don't lie, you hatemonger.



Homsexuality is extremely harmful, even this guy says so: http://74.125.45.132/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&gl=ca




Yes, of course it is. God controls everything.




It's called the Bible, you dummy, try reading it sometime.




Typical retarded atheist response.




You have NO right to question God.



We don't know what God ultimately intends, so it is our duty to warn people. This is so, at the end of time, God can point out that we tried to show them the truth, even though God also blinded them from it. God is very mysterious.




You have misinterpreted everything in this thread and probably everything in your entire life. You aren't a Christian.




That's not our views, it's the truth.



Yeah right, you Christophobe

Ok if it is your opinion that I have misinterpreted the religious aspect fine, you are after all more knowledgeable in the area. However your biased view of what I believe has you thinking that just because you see it as us and them and if I'm not with you then I'm against you, doesn't mean I see things the same way, or that I hate religion it is just a subject that is unclear and makes no sense to me as much as people who are atheist make no sense to you. I'm not here to blame, hurt, name call, accuse, whatever, I'm here to understand, and to at least to to get some people here to understand the other side of the story as well.

Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

Both Christ and Buddha's teachings were similiar in that they both taught, COMPASSION and not hate ... Instead of hating and bashing others why not love, Jesus Did.

People God hates: Proverbs 6:16-19 "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren." Deuteronomy 12:31 "You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods."

Um actually your right Buddhism is often misconstrued by many whom consider it a religion, your completely right in thinking that it is a "Philosophy" and not "Religion". Both Christ and Buddha's teachings were similiar in that they both taught, COMPASSION and not hate, UNDERSTANDING and not damnation, and most of all love. I am in complete disbelief at everything that I see on these pages. The HATE that is flowing from the hearts of the "Righteous?". My heart is so heavy when I read some of these post's. Half of you need to come out of the closet because your clearly GAY, and the other half needs to remember this:

Mark 12:31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Instead of hating and bashing others why not love, Jesus Did.

God loves some people. Others He hates.

Leviticus 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Proverbs 6:16, 19 These six things doth the LORD hate ... A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Hosea 9:15 I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings.
Malachi 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. But we should hate some people:

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

To all those who all assumed it was an attack and jumped on the offensive it wasn't it was merely questioning that which fails to make sense.

I am sick and tired of hateful people like you calling us awful names like "merciless" because we want to stop dangerous people like lesbians from hurtining other people. ALL WE ARE DOING IS HELPING PEOPLE SO QUIT ATTACKING US YOU LOW LIFE LIBERTARD MOONBAT!!!!

Like this, how are lesbians hurting people? When was the last time a lesbian came and attacked you and your family, or stole from you? Then you go further to try and stop an "attack" with another attack.

First of all, there is no need to get defensive. We don't need you pushing your lesbian atheist ideals on us.

Second of all, you don't understand the Bible at all. We are not saved because we don't sin. We are saved by the Grace of God. The Bible tells us that once you become saved (and it's God's choice, not yours) you will be unable of sinning. Not because of yourself, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working within you. If you sin, it's a sign that you are not a Christian, and all non-Christians go to hell, because God makes them not believe because He hates them and wants to torture them forever to show His power.

Once again saying i'm attacking and pushing values at you but am merely putting something out there. Also just because someone disagrees doesn't mean they are lesbian or anything other that they disagree. Additionally this quoted post goes on to say that in the end it actually isn't your choice whether you are christian or otherwise, and in effect that neither are your actions, so basically free-will is an illusion?

Can you prove that? No.

Though not in reply to me I'd like to ask for undeniable proof to the contrary. (And that is to anybody not just those who share the same viewset)

I would not follow such a god. Once you are Saved™ how can you sin?

How can you be saved if you sin? And how can you know the difference?

You must make the distinction between ‘Mercy’ and ‘Just Reward’.

I'd like to link this to my question about free-will, is it really the persons "Just Reward" if their soul has no hand in it if they are just a pawn to be used as a greater entity see's fit to serve it's own agenda?

No, they condemn themselves by disobeying The Lord. If we speak against them, it is to warn them of the error of their ways or carry out The Lord's Commandments.

Once more is it truly their choice to do so or is it his work that has caused them to disobey? If it is, and if it is his desire for them to burn that he may laugh at them how will warning them save them from their fate? Might as well just let them enjoy what little they will have left instead of feeling guilt before their eternal torment.

There is no sin in fearing The Lord.

The Fearful (Revelation 21:8) From Pastor Ezekiel's Signature.
However if i have misinterpreted I will stand corrected.

You haven’t found any yet. That’s the trouble with atheists, they are inherently lazy and stupid.

Not a very nice generalization. Although I guess you would believe it to be true because atheist scientist's in your eyes are stupid, lazy, and spin nothing but lies.

All the same I'd just like to point out again this is an inquiry not an attack.

Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

Why would you follow a god that damns you to hell no matter how you live your life for you will sin no matter what at some point, and the more literally you take the Bible the more impossible it is to escape this. If you are unmerciful you are sinning yet you would condemn witches ect. mercilessly to death because the bible tells you to. You condemn so many as sinners and and worshipers of Satan just because they do not follow exactly you views, and speak of those of you who get into heaven laughing at those in hell who suffer eternal torment with hope of forgiveness. You sin by being fearful but then go and use that fear of God's power as a means to try and convert people. I'm sure if i spent more time looking i could find many more hypocrisies within the bible, (which is itself a sin), and perhaps you can see that no matter how hard you try the belief system that you are practicing leads to a no win situation.

Were do you get off on this spiteful attack against us humble Christians??? Look, just because we have the State of Iowa in our pocket and the largest church building in North America doesn't mean we are a proud and boastful people. Jesus gave us this stuff because He loves us because we true Christians are the most humble and virtuousness people on earth! It wasn't my work that got me a six figure a year job, a 1/5 million dollar house and four SUVs, it was Christ's love for me.

I am sick and tired of hateful people like you calling us awful names like "merciless" because we want to stop dangerous people like lesbians from hurtining other people. ALL WE ARE DOING IS HELPING PEOPLE SO QUIT ATTACKING US YOU LOW LIFE LIBERTARD MOONBAT!!!!

That is certainly the right thing to do. God does this and so, we must do it too.

Proverb:1:24: Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
Proverb:1:25: But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
Proverb:1:26: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Proverb:1:27: When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Proverb:1:28: Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

You sin by being fearful but then go and use that fear of God's power as a means to try and convert people.

There is no sin in fearing The Lord.

Re: Buddhism can be compatible with religions?

Well, that pretty much says it all right there, doesn't it?

Psalm 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

I think the best therapy for you would be to ponder what Jesus did for you upon that Wondrous Cross. A big part of your problem is that you obviously don't care about the welfare of your soul after you die!

haha you dont have a soul and nothing happens after you die. thats so funny why would you even think that?
