And if you wanted to see Jesus again, he would still be saying the same old thing he was saying, but all you Christians would tell him no, that's not what Jesus said.

By definition, Christ today would be an anti-christ.

Sounds like religious hokus pokus mumbo jumbo to me.
Don't you have an orange you need to be pealing?

But it also teaches you to question everything -- especially the tenets of Buddhism itself. Don't like reincarnation or karma? Throw 'em out -- no problem. Whether or not Buddhism is "atheist" or not is apparently a matter of opinion, and a matter of how one applies Buddhism to one's personal life. Christian's seem to toss all non-believers in the atheist pot. Since Buddhism is about 90% Eastern philosophy and 10% 'hokus pokus', and lacks a Western-style deity, it may fit the bill...

And that is also BS.

Love is proactive. That is SOMETHING.

Screw peace. Peace is reactionary. It just IS when nothing else is happening.
(Unless you're a Buddhist who believes that all life is suffering.)

But, it is nice to be left alone every once in a while. People pushing their love in your face all the time can get old.

But, we were talking about "no greater happiness".

Love is not the greatest happiness -- love is true happiness. The concepts are indistinguishable.

I have a hard time seeing KKKhristian teachings as anything but Hate-Speech.





Ya...someones going to chime in & Rant..."Ya can't judge ALL KKKhristians by Rev.Phelps" To them I ask...."Show me the exception"...& I'am serious...I would like to believe that not all the believers are Hate-Mongers....but frankly....I'll prolly be very disappointed.

Buddhism is not about the accumulation of wealth
It is not about the accumulation of power
It does not assume anything or profess to be "right"
It does not suggest that anything or anyone is "wrong"
It provides a discipline and philosophical framework that promotes fulfillment and happiness -- here and now
It is not for everyone, nor does it claim to be.
It is innocuous and does not deserve to be tossed into a melting pot with Western religion -- and that is my only real point
