I love dharmic religions. Why? Because of the teachings of karma and reincarnation is common sense.
The law of karma and reincarnation make also sense since it is both justice and mercy.
If God/ Gods really is both justice and love then reincarnation has to be true. And in the dharmic religions it is more important to be a good person than to believe in God/gods
Any thoughts? What do you think about what I wrote? Do you agree or disgree?
How does the law of karma and reincarnation provide mercy?
In the Abrahamic tradition God provides mercy through justice. Jesus suffered and died and bore the just penalty for our sins and the mercy was provided through that.
In the Bible Paul says that out of faith, hope and love the greatest is love.
In the Dharmic religions it seems that the whole of the lives of all of us is one big game by God and in the end we just end up where we started, as God, and we don't even know we existed as ourselves in our ego.
Either that or God is both good and evil and is just satisfying some inner urge to express the evil side along with the good side. While here in life we are told to escape this wheel of life and death and life and death, so we are to escape God so that we can be God again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as we were in the beginning.
It really sounds like God is on His own big Samsara in each cycle of the universe expanding and contracting, and can't escape, and we just get dragged along for the ride. It has happened before and we try to escape the wheel, but it will happen again and I guess the next time around in God's Samsara, we will be someone else.
The whole thing seems like the philosophy of men without any evidence for it's truth in archaeology.
At least in the Abrahamic religions the historic evidence is there and getting stronger all the time with new archaeological finds.
In my opinion.
I hope you enjoyed that little rant.
But of course I am serious.
