And NOW Sky thinks she's been appointed to define what God is and isn't and can and can't have. Yeah, no arrogance and hubris THERE. I think we should ALL become Buddhists so that the sun can rise and set in our assholes.
Seriously, if this sort of attitude is really what Buddhists today are teaching, methinks Buddha is rolling over in his grave somewhere.
I have no interest in seeing you or anyone else become a Buddhist. I wish for all beings that they become Buddhas, not Buddhists. If your religion causes you to awaken to Buddhahood and to develop love, compassion, joy and equanimity, then I wish that you succeed in your religious goals.
Scriptures show god in a negative light; as angry, vengeful and judging, as punishing, and as jealous. God threatens alot.
I would think if God were God he would have positive qualities, instead of these negative ones.
The Lord gave all of us life, how is that not positive?
You claim to have read the Bible, I guess you are another one of those that have no ability to "comprehend" the Bible. Yeshua loved, healed, forgave, elevated, equated, and saved people. All have been invited to His table. If you want to throw a hissy fit because the "heavenly escorts" weren't sent for you, that is your choice. Stick with Buddha, see where he is on judgement day: hint: he will be on his knees in front of the Lord, just like all the rest of us. Maybe at that point you will realize, you chose wrong, but then again...........
You believe the "Lord" gave you life. I don't. My parents gave me life. My karma gave me "precious human life" which is something that Christians don't have.
I've read the bible enough. It makes me sick. I will NOT read it any more. It's toxic to me. It's poison to me. It's nectar to you.
There is no "judgment day". When I die, I will be reborn in one of six realms depending on my karma.
Even if I am reborn in a hell realm, it is impermanent. Eventually, I will become enlightened and fully realize my Buddha nature.
I am not trying to turn YOU against Christianity. Why are YOU trying to turn me away from Buddhism?
This is what YOU do. Christian arrogance. My way or the highway. You have NO fucking business telling me I chose WRONG. My path chose me.
