An innocent way of the reproduction issue
OMG, I used to argue this point as a precocious child 😠
But now, apparently the phrase is and always will be, the birds and the bees. Which is illogical.
So I understand, I should have understood when you first made that comment.

So you have reached enlightment have you Siddhartha Gautama?
“One must find the source within one’s own Self, one must possess it”
Are you saying that source cannot be logical? 😆
"Many paths can be taken to reach a destination"
Do you know where those quotes come from?

Yes, but I study only the Lotus Sutra. We are all connected, if one of us is enlightened then we are all enlightened. We simple need to come to understand this. Understanding that we are already enlightened is harder than it sounds. I am still a work in progress, I have a long way to go, but thanks for the encouragement.

Then you realise the they come from Shakiamuni himself and due to misrepresentation of many of his monks and the timespan of the creation of the lotus sutra in written form a(bout 150 years), that its varacity can be questioned as much as the teachings of the various Christian religions.

With the ever-so-slight exception that one of them actually makes a little sense.

Yes, Yes 💃
It is so wonderful to be in a religion that was made by very smart people who have spent thousands of years looking at the human condition. When I see that these people are just human, my faith only grows. When I saw things in Christianity that did not make sense I was told not to question.
My religion is not from a nonexistent god, like Christianity is, it is from very smart people. I always think for myself, no one can control me.

Thank you, you are right I never intend to offend in my posts though I will not hesitate to be skeptical and argue against somones theory, If you cant handle this than simply dont bring it up in a place meant for such things.

Buddism and other eastern philosophys do make alot of sense, especially zen buddism which I partially believe in, it does infact rely alot on logic contrasting with western religions that for the most part partake in blind mystical oriented views, your right though eastern philosophys do have notable faults as well.

You say that when you noticed something made no sense, you were told not to question it? Obediently, you ignored the illogical and stuck to your belief that anything is possible. And yet you say that no one can control you?
the meaning of life is to not leave the earth the way you found it. add a little of yourself to the world. leave a little something behind to be rembered by. and after you have like, a kagillion people who change the world somehow, it'll end up either as a fantastic place, or a total screwhole. which one is for you to decide
