Buddhists in general don't worship anything.
"[My] god?" LMFAO!!!!!!!
Please, do go and make more boneheaded assumptions.
don't think you have, because the whole "cursed sons of Hamm" has no concrete or objective interpretation, and it's pretty much only a bigot who does reach that conclusion. You can make a better case that in the Book of Mormon god turned the skin of the Native Americans red as punishment for killing the Jewish tribes of Natives.
Even the figur of Ganesha do appear in some scriptures it is mostly in vajrayana scripture. But since i am a Theravada buddhist i have no reason to follow Ganesha. To me only the Theravada texts are important, but i do have knowledge of other parts of Buddhism too (there are 10 known buddhist paths divided in to two schools. Theravada and MahayanaGanesha
Buddha Sakyamuni (hstorical buddha) did clearly say a disiple should not worship any beings, so if they do then it is not a rightroues act of that person.Yes they do
awwwwwwww
No, Scripture intended that Ham's face turned black and that Africans come from a curse to them

Admit what? that the name of Ganesha appear in Buddhism even it appear mostly in Hinduism? Why would it be wrong to admit that when it is a fact?So you admit it
Yes you do, you worship deties
I'd ask you what do they worship then, but you've already gotten that wrong. But, I wonder, if they do worship something, is that why so many of them are atheist?Yes they do
I'm not the one telling a Luciferian she worships a zombie god.awwwwwwww
It doesn't, because race/skin color is not mentioned. And, in it's earlier days, Ham's curse was probably stated to justify the Jewish repression of the Canaanites. Don't forget, those Bible characters most likely weren't white but different shades of light brown/wheat to dark brown/black.No, Scripture intended that Ham's face turned black and that Africans come from a curse to them
Why not just try to answer his questions, rather than turn your attention to him personally? Deflection is never a good answer.You become a member today, just to harass Christianity? Just because you do not belive i it does not mean it is an evil religion. The Christian God "punish" those who call them self Christians and who should be following His teaching. But actually it is the Person who do not follow the christian law that harm him/her self. Not the God
Common, now! You worship monkeys just as much I worship Jehovah! (even in jest that one is just iew!)No i do not worship anyone.
Yet bronze age writings are accepted as "the word of God" for today by so very, very many. Is that not equally "well done?"So you're judging the (bronze age) with modern ethics, well done
It seems there isn't much an interest in the OP taking those answers seriously. Possibly not even considering them.Why not just try to answer his questions,
If he had been a member for a long time i would not reacted but the first day of being a part of the forum, it look very much as if he is only after discussion that lead to unwanted situations.Why not just try to answer his questions, rather than turn your attention to him personally? Deflection is never a good answer.
Hehe, no need to worship anyone since if i going to reach Nirvana it is all up to my self and my own cultivation of the buddhist teachingCommon, now! You worship monkeys just as much I worship Jehovah! (even in jest that one is just iew!)
And I thought that "For God so loved the WORLD" that at one time he tried to kill everybody and everything in it, except for 8 people and anything that swam. Even those not old enough to have committed any sin greater than depending on a mother's breast.And I thought that "For God so loved the WORLD" which includes everyone and you too even in your unbelief and rant.
Then why should anybody pay any attention to it, unless only to get an understanding of what other, much more ancient, people thought? How they though would, of course, be interesting, but nothing suggests that their thoughts were more likely to be "truth" than anyone else's, does it?God didn't dictate the bible
