Gaurav Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: A great documentary on Buddha how about extending the general courtesy of respect, belief and tolerance to a faith different from yours? if you are an atheist, then deny the belief for something more intelligent that "hey no one can predict the future". Sorry I don't extend any courtesy to imaginary tales and make believe God/Gods. Prove that there is a God and then I will think about extending courtesy :hic: All you religious people do is yap yap :hic: Such extraordinary claims yet no shred of real world empirical evidence to back your claims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: A great documentary on Buddha I generally don't believe in god either, or if it really exists, I really don't care. Funny thing is the buddha wasn't interested in the existence of god either :hic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the reincarnation mumbo jumbo present in Buddhism as well that brings it back down for me. Still no way near diseased ideologies like Islam.

I can write essays about my own experience. It won't and shouldn't mean much to you cause unless you experience it yourself, you can't really appreciate it and doubts will remain. In the meantime, you can keep saying others are deluding themselves. But remember, it doesn't really matter if they are or they are not. It is your experience that matters to you, just like mine does to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varun Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: A great documentary on Buddha We're all standing on a rock hurtling through space at a million miles an hour going somewhere. I say that's super-natural enough. in fact everything "natural" that a baby experiences for the first few times is super-natural. The whole world is magical, and we just get used to them as we grow older and lose the fun in living. Just gotta learn to enjoy being alive, and not look for other reasons to "feel" alive.

I tend to agree with the notion put forward by Cambridge geneticist Richard Dawkings that religion was a notion created ages ago when we lacked the material knowledge to explain the inexplicable and is now an obsolete complex that must be abandoned. however, i feel that religion inspires us to do a great deal of good and i am willing to milk this cow as long as it produces some good for humanity.
