So why don't you respect his beliefs and stop cheerleading for Jesus? The idea that your all-powerful God is all-powerful and such and yet we can't not believe in him OMG HERESY is the lulz.
No, I'm simply making fun of your tendency to report people who disagree with you. You are the very model of intolerant around here, so when you approach Shaky with "aren't buddhists supposed to be respectful" you're making the kettle blush.
Tell me then about your beliefs and letting others practice their beliefs. Tell me which book to read to understand a little about what you believe in and I will read it!

Looking at you.
JIA is my friend. We box. I support him in his belief. But there is a reason he cannot make head way. When we tell people they are wrong, they will become defensive. If we hit them again with more negativity, they close their minds. Now when someone else tells them about Jesus, they don’t want to hear it, they don’t want any more negativity. That is one soul lost, and it’s all JIA’s fault. I’m not telling him to change his beliefs. I am only asking him to tone it down.
But if your not going to convert to Chrisitanity and he's not going to convert to Buddhism, what hope is there of any of this, it seems un fruit full to push your believes on anyone else, it barley works in person, how are two people who never met in person going to do it?
I would rather you start a thread about Buddhism and you teach me about what you believe, then I could actually learn something.
As you know I was in Bali for a month and learned about Hinduism. I want to read the Koran soon as well.
Just because i believe in Yahweh does not mean I refuse to listen to other beliefs, I can find my God even in Buddhism, even though you don't believe in the same God as me does not mean we cannot be friends and you cant teach me or others about Buddhism. I would more then be willing to listen to anything you said to help me understand Buddhism.

Looking at you.
I’m not trying to convert him.
When I first started, I did make a thread. I made several. I then got the sh*t beat out of me by everyone on the forum. I learned how to debate. It is a sport. Do you take it seriously?
If you want to learn about Buddhism, I can direct you to a web site, but I cannot teach you.
Well, I encourage you read as much as you can. Have you seen the movie Life of Pi? If you haven’t I recommend it.
I am not a teacher, and you do not want to learn Buddhism from someone who is not a teacher.
I haven't seen that movie in years. Time to fix that.

Jesus! .......I'm not sure if it's a Bible camp in this forum, though it sounds like that...hahahaaha.
I went to a strict boarding school, where the brothers (Priests) would cane and tear my ass up. Minor things also! Jesus. I still believe in God, but, most brothers (Priests) did assault (rape) youths. Not with me, but I've heard stories from others boarders.
