Ok Dazed...can you explain something then...just for the sake of intelligent discussion. If Christ was a moralist, good teacher & debater---and he is credited by the Hindus/Buddhists as such...He must of had a serious psychological problem when he claims that "I and the Father are One"...that along with "The Son of Man" claims that drove the pharisees to tear their clothes and gather stones causes a serious problem with the veracity of his teachings...doesn't it? How can people claim to admire someone who makes such bizarre claims and urge his followers to go to their deaths teaching the same thing?

Is it possible Gandhi just didn't think things through enough???

you misunderstand, it's not anger. i'm saying things that need to be said. this thread was not made for those who are unable to integrate world religions into something meaningful. there is no other way to say this, i'm gonna get flamed either way because i'm in the minority

Just words
Some nouns and verbs
And my spirit
Just hear it
This silence is light
My words have weight
I don’t want a fight
I’d rather mediate
It just puts me in a mood
Sometimes when I feel misunderstood
Some folks would say that I’m a true schismatic
But you think I’m just another stupid addict
You’d say I’m just dreaming
And write me off,
to superimpose your own meaning
Like you need an excuse
to be your own rotten self
Well f**k you then
I won't take your abuse
and I don’t need your help
I’ll crawl into the wilderness
just like a prophet
I knew the truth once
but must have forgotten it.
Right now I have better things to think about
First and foremost how to oppose your authority
Then I’ll gain some notoriety
By deconstructing your society.

Well, so you know, in the process you are inadvertantly trying to invalidate thier faith, which is silly because you have no proff that one is better than the other.

interior mystical religions are based on a non violent worldview. that makes them better in my eyes. Christianity in it's ideal form is the same, unfortunately people seem to forget this. Pastors manipulate their congregations. if you don't think this is true, read between the lines. If satan can make the bible say anything he wants, you KNOW they can. even if they often do it inadvertantly, it doesn't change the fact. Just make sure you know who is really pulling the strings, don't just chalk it up to a faith presupposition.

I read a quote once that said, "One man's faith is another man's bellylaugh". I believe this applies here both ways and it's why I'm an atheist.




I know I know everyone.....I'm going to Hell. I just preferto call it death.

So, you think Christianity is wonderful, however it's full of jerk Christians.

I feel the same way about Buddhism. It's great. Unfortunately it's full of arrogant prick Buddhists.

Indeed. And Christianity is the ONLY one of the world religions which does this.

Bin Laden sez thanx.




Siddhartha Gautama, however, thinks you're a tool.

Siddhartha(buddha) was also an atheist. I like some eastern religions because they encourage you to think for yourself. To many Christians, this is the worst kind of evil. People can call me "self righteous" or "arrogant" all they want, I don't care because I've found God on my own terms. All my life I've seen visions. You could say I'm "psychotic" or "the devil has a hold on me" because that's just the way insecure people think. and you begin to hate what you can't understand because it insults you. I have a dream that one day people will out grow their childish ethnocentricities and openly embrace the hopes and dreams of other cultures without prejudice. If I sound angry, that's fine. I seem to remember Christ raising hell at the temple on one occasion. Believe whatever you want, it's your stupidity that urks me.

The day that happens is the day we stop being humans. I see your attitude as no different that anyone in any other religion. I can say that because I look at them all equally. You say it's fine that people call you arrogant, yet you call them the same. You reek of hipocracy.

No, but I don't condem or look down on someone for following a different set of values.
