Christianity Questions

So? We can still study them.

Yet there really are not any scriptures to be seen today. Only bits and pieces. What we have today are the early fathers views and additions and what they thought were important.

All Holy Books were written by men. God would not put all this wisdom to us in a single book then expect us to blindly follow it.

That is why God would not bring a book down to begin with. There are far too many complex relations and things in this world, socially consructed and otherwise, which are not static - eveything changes, and everything will keep on changing.
God wants you to read othe things, explore other ways (that is assuming God is watching you)

A God who believes one book is for all time is a very simple God.

(And above is my logical evaluation of things)

However...

If reading the Qur'an makes you spiritually fullfilled, than thats fine. This might be the way to God, but it is not THE ONLY way.
Same goes if you believe in Jesus, Moses or abraham. If such makes you spiritually fullfilled, then who am I to claim otherwise.

Believe in stones brother, as long as you don't throw them at me.

No thats correct they are called Unitarian Christians. They believe that Jesus was man and not God. If thats what you are refering to.

Thanks!

It is not. The same thing with other religious text, the Torah, Koran, the Bhagavad gita etc... the concept of God did not descend from religions. Both religion and god are the inventions of man

Highly educated people and even ordinary man have highly respect with this great religion...Buddhism is becoming popular to the west... 🙄

Its a fad.

A bunch of people figured out that Abrhamic gods weren't the only ones around and went slaphappy.

Buddhism is too often viewed as this perfect relgion. People overlook its own flaws because its currently considered popular.

Buddhism is hott....

My prior statement was just a joke....Christianity and Islam have the potential to become very productive and positive forces..they always had that potential. But unfortunately, since religion is nothing more than a human construct in general, they are prone to corruption.

Buddhism's is not a religion, its a philosophical thought, for a lot of people.

Buddhism is in the same group as Epicureanism, I would say. (not by the philosphy, but by the type)

Buddhism is a lot more appealing to me than all other religions though, atleast as a philosophy...

However, as a mythology Hinduism definately beats all !

Buddhism is very difficult to practice - properly at least.

Buddhism seems ok, but New age is kinda cool, they accept all views ecpect traditional religions..It's a very acceptive spiritual view and encompasses very much.

Yes, because it asks us to let go of the self, and to resist all urge to do harm to another. That's not something most people are ready to do yet....
