I dont think we should even begin to try an answer such questions, we dont even have the technology to go to Jupiter and back, let alone trying to figure out the many different mysteries of Kleenex!
There are some debates that Jainism could be older than Hinduism based on a finding of a sculpture in I believe Mohenjo Daro of a person in Kayotsarg Meditation. But then there is the episode of Rama in the Ramayana which talks about a land bridge which is over 10,000 years old. There is alot of...
I agree with this. Im not sure if I would label Christianity with some Buddhist practices as a form of Buddhism. If you want to know what Buddhism feels about this subject, I agree with Tathagata, go strait to the scriptures.
Yes she can, and she did.
Im just going to back down from this, because you are starting to make this personal for no reason. This is debating, not trying to belittle someone.
She has that right to assert anything she wants. According to you she is illogical, so anything shoe does doesnt make sense. But then you say what she can and cant do according to logic? That in itself is illogical!
I do mean Dharma, I appologise for causeing unnecissary confusion. And I completely agree with what is said here.
But it does. You belief that Buddha was Enlightened, others dont. He was realized in one Dharma, and others may not believe in that Dharma. You have to believe in this Dharma to...
I would have thought that the answer would have been obvious. Follow the original teachings! They are what Zoroaster really taught right? Then follow that as opposed to that which he never spoke.
The second fetter to be destroyed is "lack of faith in the scriptures". I know this because I was a Theravada Buddhist
Ok, but its relative. What is Enlightenment to you may not be to others. What is wise to you may not be for others, therefore its relative not absolute. And it is something...
Well, then why do you believe in Buddhism. You cant prove "Enlightenment", or anything like that. You cant prove Paranirvana, or the movement of Karma after death, why do you believe in Buddhism then? Based on the logic of your above post, the same goes with Buddhism.
I guess I can agree with you here, in the way you view Logic. Perhaps God is above logic, but still uses it in the Physical realm?:shrug:
And I agree with your last sentence fully! Some people really do make God look like he is mean, but you cant blame that on God, but the false...

Here is him talking about God for anyone interested.
I believe at least one of your quotes is in here Tathagata.
Why do you take that threat of Hell to be so personal? So a religion says, "Your going to Hell", say that you dont believe and be done with it. You dont have to take it personally. And most of the time Christians are trying to help, its your misinterpretation that allows you to think otherwise...
The senses are not a very good tool to try to prove that which is above this universe. Also, not many of us Theist say that we know that there is a God. We have proven to ourselves, but not all of us think that we can prove it to everyone. Its a very subjective matter.
There is alot more than Christianity out there. I would also say its ignorant to drop all belief in God just because of a concept in ONE religion, even though there are many more. Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Paganism, none of them believe in an eternal hell. God does not necissarily come with...
Yaksha's and Yakshini's dont count. I said creator God too. They absolutly dont believe in a Creator God. But they do believe in Yakshas and Yakshinis, which are kind of like Gods and Goddesses but they are still in Samsara or the cycle of Reincarnation.
