One can learn many enlightening things from all religions. Unfortunately, all religions have negative aspects as well.
You mean Buddhism? well personally, I am a Christian but I respect your opinion. It's very well stated.bloody1f4knightYou can easily be Christian and Buddhist at once.
I'll stick with mine.....thanks.LJS9502_basicIf you read what I've said, I'm not saying to become that religion, but to learn from it. This is exactly what I'm talking about, most people are not willing to learn and only go by these religious guidelines.
You mean shave your head? live in the mountains? and never go huntin'? still_thinkingNOOO!!!! I said learn from them, not become them. If you choose to become that religion, then high power to you but I'm recommending that you learn from them. Learn how to be in peace.
I'm not saying to become a buddha monk and speak ill of any other religion. However watching some of those Jesus Camp clips, told me how they enforce fear and mental brutality about sin and how you should cleanse yourself from sins and depend on God. I personally don't think Christians feel the same as what the video dictates in it's hidden message.I am a Christian. I love God so much I would give my life for Him. And now saying that, I don't hate gays. God loves gays BUT he hates what they do. I hate what terrorists do BUT I love the person. God says to love you're enemies. So I will do that. You are right in saying people wrote the Bible. But God directed them in what they wrote. If you don't think that could be possible because he isn't here in PHYSICAL form I understand that. If I hadn't experienced Gods love and how He works with people I wouldn't either! If you want to know more buy a Bible and you will find out all you need to know. :)
I don't think Jesus or even God reallyi appreciates all the said hate against gay people, different religions and what not. If Jesus can forgive His disciple for turning in Jesus and having him be crucified and die horribly on the cross, then how come some religious people and pasters can't forgive, tolerate and accept the gay community. They always refer to the bible saying it's against Jesus & God all together. I personally don't believe in the bible since it's been handed down since the BC created by man, and with man/women holding to the copy of the bible can definately reprint and change it to their liking, which causes it to contradict itself in many ways.
To my original subject, Buddha is a beautiful religion. They don't really have a perticular God to worship, however they are in peace with the world and everything about it. They have a found respect with life, and always looking into sprititual enlightenment. I'm not saying to become Buddists, but we can definately learn something from them. My idea of religion is meant for spiritual comfort, not to corrupt your judgment and not live a normal life. Normal life meaning, your own decision how to run your life without the hassle of fear and needs to be saved.

Cause that's all that matters in the end. No. I acknowledge the fact that the book was written centuries ago. I acknowledge the fact that the bible is based on myths made by tribes people. It's a story book nothing more, except it is more at the same time because so many people see it as fact. It's got some good morals though...

I personally don't think Christians feel the same as what the video dictates in it's hidden message.If these religious people and pastors can't forgive then they are not of the Kingdom of God or true Christians .   For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God . We as true Christians all admit that we ar all bad people for we have all done bad things but that we can be be cleansed though the blood of Jesus and be made a new creature in Christ for he makes all things new . Second of all Christian's do not hate gays and are not supposed to hate them . For they have sinned just like us . Christians hate the sin , not the sinner . We hate the murder but not the murderer because he is no different from us . We hate rape but not the rapist for we are no better then him for we have sinned . Christianity teaches love , compassion , and mercy to your fellow man . We teach that we do not get into haven by good works for our good will never out do our bad . To hate evil but not hate the evil doer because we are no better then them . 3rd we don't hate gays but hate the act having sex with man . We need to show love and compassion to the gays . Most of the time men become gay because of not having that Fatherly influence to be a man . Or they were sexually abused when they were a kid and ect .

True, Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a belief in a deity.
I follow aspects of Taoism and I'm a Christian. Now I don't believe the spiritual aspects of the Tao, but philosophically, the Way is very strong in everything, you can learn a lot from the likes of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi, if you've seen it spelled that way).
Edit: lol, what's up with all those Chinese geniuses having "Tzu" as their given name? There's also Sun Tzu.

Whats wrong with what gays do in the privacy of their bedroom?Nickman71I don't know, but I think those links may fall under "hate speech".
You people need to learn to take your religious vomit to a forum that puts up with it. No one is going to take your philosophies or evangelization seriously here.ghost_909
Of course not, most people here don't even take THEMSELVES seriously, let alone anything else besides video games.
