    the purpose of religion

    :o i hope you guys don't be assuming one's wisdom based in its age. I think it goes more on hand on the experiences and how we are guided through life. I think age has nothing to do with wisdom, nor the confidence...if so, i'm kind of a real dumb confident guy:cover:...i hope i'm not:sad:

    the purpose of religion

    I understand what you are saying, you want to find "The Truth" tell me once you find it, what are you going to do? how are you going to feel? why do you want to find it? is it necessary to you to know everything? do you think that once you find truth, people is going to believe you? thats what i...

    the purpose of religion

    exactly, the man who believe in christ doesn't mean he is going to heaven. NOr the buddhist is attaining nirvana. We either go to the same place, or we either don't go nowhere. The thing is that people PERCEIVE truth in different ways. They give it a different name. And that is why, we have to...

    the purpose of religion

    exactly, truth not only can be anything. Truth is Everything. accept that, and tell me what you feel. I feel something called peace. But also perhaps, i'm only crazy, so i just ask you to please find your OWN truth. if religions do not help you in doing so, then don't follow any, but understand...

    that you know it for yourself, and i think it goes down to which religion makes you a better person. and, ofcourse, it doesn't have to be a religion. If you are Atheist, and is that the best way you find peace and "truth", then i encourage you to practice it. they are all created by humans, so...

    Muslim Fundamentalists Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?

    exactly, it is because we live in this society, where this danger do not appear so often, that we have the power to stat the change. I'm not saying that i'm going to go to iraq or to the U.S army and change the way they perceive their reality. I do not preach, i just work for myself, with what...

    yes, then, lets go and kill their family because they killed ours right? and then the same thing, over and over again...haven't you seen that it doesn't have an end? haven't all this thousand of years of solving things this way proven, that there is no end to it? i just thing there is a bigger...

    Muslim Fundamentalists Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?

    to kill is to kill. there is no such thing as "to kill for freedom", nor to "kill in self defense", nor "to kill in the name of a religion" if someone kills, it is because the see not any other way to solve their problems, because other way, implies talking, implies admiting that the other...

    the purpose of religion

    "The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life"-Dalai Lama i was...

    Buddha has become a hip marketing tool.......is this a good thing?

    i don't think real buddhist would care if buddha is a "marketing tool or not"...their care about his teachings, his path, his enlightment, they do not care, or chould not care, about the statue or figure of the buddha, for it is only a statue, or an image and os i elieve their philosophy is not...

    ..."Sorrow and love cannot go together, but in the Christian world...

    ..."Sorrow and love cannot go together, but in the Christian world they have idealized suffering, put it on a cross and worshipped it, implying that you can never escape from suffering except through that one particular door, and this is the whole structure of an exploiting religious...

    hey, atheist, what if?????

    how could it be irrelevant? what if some "God" is watching you, and knowing that all you do has a "plan (i don't want to sound like a particular religion), but like, lets say you cannot communicate with him like in "words" or prayer, or thoughts, but that through life you will communicate with...

    hey, atheist, what if?????

    A God like an almighty unifying force, that it will not be "introduce to you" but it will be proven his existence... or, in other words...would you like the idea that it could be a being greater than humans who is the creator? or would you preffer that someone will tell you: nope, it just...

    hey, atheist, what if?????

    ok, so i just got this "strange" question in my mind while reading another post: atheist,what if, for some reason some one is going to show you that in fact, there is, or there isn't a god(lets say, an alien, or some mathematical process or for some crazy reason)...would you prefer to know that...

    Is our body a temple?

    maybe it just simply means to love our boddies no matter how they are...to love our boddies does not mean that they have to be perfect, it means, literaly, that we love them, and i strongly believe that when we fully love ourselves we can love others as well. "If you hate a person, you hate...

    Was Mother Teresa a sadist?

    how is it relevant for you what mother teresa did on finding what is good and what is truth? we should base our understanding of truth on what we live, on what we suffer, not on what other people did, or did not.

    "I have nothing new to teach the world...All i have done is to try experiments in both [truth and nonviolence] on as vast a scale as i could. In doing so I HAVE SOMETIMES ERRED AND LEARNT BY MY ERRORS". Ghandi lets say that ghandi supported racism, but he laso later oppose to it, he is a human...
