There are Christian Buddhists smile Buddhism is actually very open to religions coexisting with it as it is more a way of being then relying on an omnipotent being to explain existence. Unless its like Mahayana Buddhism which considers the Bodhisattva as gods.

LOL O…k…a…y…

I would personal never assign a sex onto God, but if I had to, I would say female.

Instead she'd leave passive aggressive notes about how you need to improve. Which is arguably more useful than a couple of inscribed tablets.

God's obsession with size cancels the theory of it being feminie. I always imagine a bearded man anyway.

Spiritual beings are neither male nor female. The Hebrew names referring to God are all masculine nouns, hence why the the Bible refers to Him as male. Angels have no sex and the Bible says redeemed humans are not identified by sex in Heaven. Sex is only assigned to mortal beings for the purpose of pro-creation.

I don't want to go to the afterlife anymore.

Are you talking about something in the bible? I didn't know God had an obsession with size.

God is not a sex. Saying God is a male or female is a personification, and personifications are not real. They are a way to envision something. God the father or God the mother is just a way to describe a relationship. I don't think it is ever meant to be taken literally.

You have no choice lol. We all die. I assure you it will be better than you think. Having sex will not be hotwired into our subconscience, so you wouldn't miss it lol.

I believe we just return here. In my belief, both heaven and hell (and 8 other worlds) are states of mind in this life.

That's cool. What 8 worlds are you referring to?

What is your belief for the future when Earth is no longer habitable or no longer here? In essence, how does reincarnation work in those scenarios. I haven't studied Buddhism at length, so just curious.

I am not a Buddhist teacher, so I can only tell you what I believe.

All phenomena have the same experience of birth, life and death. There will come a time when we will no longer reincarnate. At that time we will no longer experience birth, life and death. In Buddhist text this is called Extinction of the Dharma. However, the Suitra says that after a very long time we will return. Not as we are now, but as something different. It is a cycle that is forever repeated.
