Practical Buddhism

I know what you said...the ideals of buddhism.

I'm saying my idea is similar (log time to enlightenment) but different. Buddhist seek self realization of what they already are. I seek knowledge to help me become something greater.

Greater then what? And what do you mean be Greater?

well, when looking back I was talking to about heaven, then stated to hell with it.........

Wrong...truth is unlikely to be found, but tis is possible. Ironically...this view has ties to the buddhist view of enlightenment...one of the reasons behind why you need so many reincarnations...it takes a LONG time.

Its herdly a sad state of affairs. I'd rather die "sad" searching for real thruth than to live "happy" with a lie.

Me too! Have you checked into Jesus lately?

can he help my grammar?

He is more focused on the inner Alliance than the outer Alliance. 🙄

It was a pointless comment. Both inner and outer must be balanced. Understanding yourself is critical, but it is nothing without understanding the world around you.

That is not what I'm saying. We are not stupid; we are asleep.

Christianity is inherently wrong when it declares that we are born in sin. In saying that people are sinning they make the world the antithesis of it's very creator - how utterly ridiculous and undermining. Christianity's God is truly not only dead, but rotten to the core.

That's right! Buddha said that he is only awake, nothing else. But these two Christians(Alliance and JustByFaith) are so typical in trying to convert others and damning anyone who is not a Christian.

That was funny 😱 😂 😂 😂 😂 How did you get blamed in on that with me Alliance? Do like you being persecuted too? I do. Especially when I am staying with Christ.

Sometimes people actually don't know things before they attack.

I'm such a good Athiest Christian 😉

I don't consider that persecution. My people have been persecuted. THATs not persecution.

closed minded people just don't understand that there are things we don't quite understand.................

Exactly. "the more you know...the more you know you don't know"

No, that's a contradiction. One cannot no, period. Or better yet, according to the Bible: "thou may not know!" But, I think, one should not care to know, because there's nothing to know.

This must be a relaxing religion? When life gets me down maybe I could join? Any memebership fees for the "nothing to know faith"? 😎

How can they understand that there are things we can't understand if their mind is closed to understanding? 😛

You can become a member of SGI and still be a Christian.
