did got set humans up to fail?

First of i was not talking to you.

animals have an soul,so they feel emotions like we do but what makes us different is we have an spirit which gives us reason before we act.

As for you.you need to build up your faith.Did you always not belive in my God or did you turn away from him

Sorry, I thought you were talking to me.

1. Humans are animals.

2. God is not a "he".

3. My faith is stronger then it has ever been. I do not need blind faith, I see my practice work in my life every day.

4. I used to be a Christian, but the evil people in the church, and the cult like aspects of the particular church I was in, made me realize that the truth was nowhere to be seen. I spent many years looking, and then I found the greatest religion for me.

How does it work in your everyday life? What do you see?

I chant every morning and evening, and study all the time. It is like adding stand into a pot one grain at a time. Before long the pot is full.

OK that was the abstract answer, here is the straight answer. Before I started my practice, I had problems with people at work and in my life. I am not a very good communicator. My thinking is very abstract. It helps me at my job, but interpersonal communication has always been difficult for me. Once I started to chant and study, I begin to see things in my life differently. I started seeing the things in my life that were hurting me. Once I could take responsibility for all things in my life (one of the main steps in my practice), I was able to change myself so that these things did not bother me. For example; my boss at the time, suffered from back pain, and that made him treat me bad. But I could never see the pain in his eyes because I was too busy suffering under him. Once I realized his pain, my pain went away. I changed myself, and then when he got upset with me, I understood and had compassion.

Over time, I have changed, and I get along with people who I could never get along with before. Also, I am a lot happier now and people tell me that I always have a positive attitude. When change happens in my life, I can face that challenge with a courage that I never thought I had.

That sounded like an AA commercial to me.

😆 Are you really asking me that? I drink maybe one beer a week, at the most. Do you think I have a problem. 😕 😛

It was a joke in reference to my AA commercial comment.

Maybe you can help me with my life. Do you think the chanting voices that hurt me can be insightful if I chant back at them? 😂

Sorry, I really do respect your experience, I just have to poke fun at people sometimes. Especially abstract people.

sounds like convenience. Same thing I guess 😆

But I guess I have to agree it isn't a good idea to spend forever on this site.

chanting seals your soul, its been medically proven.

There is no proof of a soul, so how can anything having to do with the soul be medically proved?

ermm, i was JOKING. 😛

i thought the term MEDICALLY and SOUL with an icing of PROVEN wudv screamed that out. 😄

i love how no one can accept their precious "god" as an *******.

god: im going to give you paradise, but if you break this rule which i set(which i KNOW your going to) then you and the rest of your kin for the rest of eternity can live a life of misery.

That of course is from your own point of view. Mine is that if you knew anything of the concept of God, it is that while mortal life is filled with pain as well as pleasure, the afterlife is intended to be true Paradise. That is why he sent Jesus Christ into the world, to redeem us so we can avoid living in misery for eternity.

Or are you going to call me a rude name again for stating my opinion?
