The opposite of good -- antichrist virtue -- sums to the destruction of man, not to mention God's creation. Label it whatever you want, but the effect is very, very real. And you know this! Virtually all religions (on the face of the planet) convey struggle between good and evil. This is nothing new. Human beings are all deserving of judgement, but Jesus the Christ interjected (for man). We know this "inherently." We are made in the image of God; we are not robots merely calculating external stimulus. We have souls, and therefore, are able to "experience" life. Such points to a non-physical realm.
I've noticed, over the years, that your dead-bent on Christianity; you despise it! You embrace Buddhism because it creates a scape-goat for escaping -- in your mind -- accountability. Well, let me tell you, my friend, that is the beauty of Christ Jesus. He loves you for who you are, but He wishes that you live life more abundantly -- according to His will. God is Holy -- perfect! Jesus summed up the 10 commandments, in so many words, by stating, "Treat thy neighbor as thyself." It ain't magic, and it ain't word-play. It's real life!! Face the music, bro.

If the effect is real, then it should be able to be scientifically tested. I wonder why no one has tested it yet, maybe it’s because good and evil are not real beyond the mind of the individual.

This is an over simplification. Most religions do have a concept of good and evil, but Buddhism teaches that good and evil are paths that people take, and not something tangible.

And were did you get the idea that humans are deserving of judgement? That sounds like an evil path to me.

No, a child that is never taught this idea will not know it inherently.

1. There are no non-physical realm.
2. Humans do not have a soul.
3. Non-physical realms and souls and not needed to "experience" life.

At one time I did, and for good reason. I have seen first hand how the teachings of the bible have cause people great harm in their lives.

It is unbelievably arrogant of you to assume you understand why I am a Buddhist. Buddhism is more difficult then Christianity. I know because I was once a Christian. Most Christians go to Church on Sunday and never think about religion at any other time of the week. I practice my Buddhism at least twice a day, 7 days a week.

You do not know that some man who lived 2000 years ago loves me. Again, a book that was written by humans has told you this.

And stop writing is such large text; it makes you look like an F'n two year old. If you want to be treated like a man and taken seriously then act like one.
Originally posted by ushomefreeCorrect me if I'm wrong Skaky but Buddhism is all about accountability with Karma, you do bad things and bad things will happen to you as well as doing good. This will happen in your life time not after you are dead.

Not how Karma works. It hits you in the next life, which Shaky doesn't believe in.
Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosI thought that it would hit you in this life as well?

Just reading up on it a bit but I see what you are saying but they do have Karma that effect you in this life "Immediately Effective (ditthadhammavedaniya) Karma"

That is correct. In Buddhism, we learn to take responsibility for all things in our lives, even if they seem to not be our responsibility.

Also, I believe in reincarnation, so don't go say what i believe or don't believe.
hmm, i always thought it was more like everything YOU do affects/changes you, and if you allow things outside yourself to influence you, than you are responsible for that choice too and its part of what YOU do, and intentions are very important in the affect that your actions have. and the change in your own self is good or bad, depending on those actions or karma. or so i understood sumwhere.

"Mahayana Buddhism holds that the sum of actions and experiences of the present and previous lifetimes are accumulated and stored as karma in the depths of life and will form the framework of individual existence in the next lifetime."

I could have sworn you said you didn't believe in reincarnation. Maybe it was a defensive thing?
