I realized the Christian god is just a hypocritical, violent, jealous jerk that ironically embodies the same sins that are preached against.
You had a vision or something? Or maybe you are omniscient? In that case could you please inform us of how Buddha is in reality, just curious.
If this is a thread for the non-religious, then here's my opinion regarding the man in the above photo, Lhamo Thondup.
Thanks for this Luman.If this is a thread for the non-religious, then here's my opinion regarding the man in the above photo, Lhamo Thondup.
Lhamo Thondup, AKA the Dalai Lama, is a type of priest, and his particular organization of Buddhists was responsible for multitudes of crimes against humanity in Tibet, when they were in power. Like all priests, he is a liar and wolf in sheep clothing, and very different from what he is portrayed to be in popular culture. If he had the power to do so, he would very likely restore serfdom and repressive theocratic rule to his country, and set them back to the living hell it was before the communists took control.
I can offer great evidence that there are major prophecies concerning the rise and fall of world empires in the Bible, OT and NT that were fulfilled.Thanks for this Luman.
I had no idea, having always swallowed the popular myth.
I started this thread by nailing my colours to the mast - "Agnostics are Us," - so that visitors would know what to expect and should not therefore complain.
My own perspective is that nobody can know of the existence of god.
Everything is conjecture.
