Eastern anyone?

[dazed&fallen]

much better, now where was I? so i reckon there are two types of people thinking and feeling. thinking people prefer buddhism, feeling people prefer christianity. while christianity discourages questioning, buddhism encourages it. two seperate roads leading to the same place--peace.

Or not.

wrong you are, many buddhists think of christ as a great teacher and moralist. i know full well how evangelical christians feel about christ. this is aimed at those who are willing and able to push their understanding farther and see their faith as one of many. but thank you for that anyway

No, I am right. The difference between a Buddhist and a Christian is that a Buddhist thinks Jesus was a cool dude, and a Christian believes that by following Christ he will live eternally in heaven. There is a huge difference.

why do i feel like i'm beating a dead horse? that is the evangelical view. there are many different kinds of christians.

Or not.

if you are determined not to think for yourself, there is very little anyone can do to dissuade you from this mindset.

Probably because you can't admit that you're not 100% correct. Go read a book about something else and start a new thread about it.

I was well aware of the fact that many evangelical christians see christ as the only path to salvation when I made this thread. I was speaking to slightly more educated people. thank you for ignoring everything i've said so far.

I think there needs to be a division here. Vrai, maybe we should split the religion forum into two groups. "Christian" and "Other Religions".

Probably, since you bash any other religion besides Christianity you get away with it.

You bash Christianity you get banned or get threatened by someone that you may or will get banned.

more educated people? Now, I'll be surprised if you don't get red karma for that one. Evangelical Christians are no more or no less educated than others. Whether they'll accept other religious views, that is a completely unrelated subject.

perhaps i give people too much credit, but i'm assuming anyone that's had a comparative religion course would see how ridiculous excluding other faiths from your worldview actually is. i guess i just don't see how some people can be so determined not to evolve. ban me i don't really care.

 

[dazed&fallen]

or you could even be good christians and forgive me

Typical "if you don't *AGREE* with me, you're (stupid, uneducated, unenlightened, ridiculous - take your pick). "Intelligent" people have MY view - uneducated twits like the rest of you have YOUR stupid, ridiculous, lack-of-having-had-a-comparative-religion-course view.

I don't give red karma much, but I always sign it - you earned it.

like a psychic
use my Mind trick
hear this lyric
from my spirit
turn from Heaven
God is dead end.
quote the good book
you make me sick
when I can find God
in Moby Dick
if I read as you do
presupposing it all true
not asking questions
denying connections
you're so fake
i hope you don’t die
before you wake
look at me
i make choices
on my own
to face hardship
all alone
take responsibility
for my actions
try to clear
all distractions
face my fear
and discomfort
and still wonder
what you meant
what you said
when you left
a half truth
a good guess.

Have you noticed this is a common trait of those who proclaim to be "enlightened". It doesn't matter which religion it is, each and every one has their self proclaimed know-it-all's.

I stand by my tagline as a good recommendation to all those who fit that bill.

as opposed to believing everything your pastor tells you as a self proclaimed spokesperson for god. i'm sure jesus with a cowboy hat will agree.
