That's kind of the point where you start wondering... "Wait, why do I read this book again?" Once I realized how hypocritical everything was I threw out everything but god, and later threw that out to. I feel as though after my decision not to believe in Christianity I had no reason to believe in a deity at all. I like feeling that everything is random and happens by chance, and that we are all responsible for our own actions no extraordinary excuses allowed. I've felt much closer to the world as a whole, and feel like I look at others with a better understanding. I feel like I was unknowingly biased as a Christian, and I think that's what sucks. It gives good people bad reasons to do things.

Really? I want to know your secret.




Of course life is not full of sorrow and sadness (the Buddhist believe that life only incorporates sadness and sorrow and bliss can't be achieved without giving up attachment and desire) Everything needs to be taken in; the good with the bad. Just because today was a sad day doesn't mean that I can't be happy tomorrow.

I think that is completely wrong. Have you felt happiness? have you ever felt so happy that you forget about everything around you? Even if it was just for one minute that you felt so in tune with everything that you could just let go.

I don't know about all of you, but I have felt bliss, weather it be drug induced or not. I think I have felt complete bliss, or nirvana as the Buddhist would call it.

I used to be a Christian but not anymore. (my title under my avatar used to say "Christian Shroomer")

I realized this summer that I really don't believe in it. I was just fooling myself. It was very freeing to realize this.

I still believe in God though. The only term that I'm comfortable with describing my spiritual philosophy is "Panentheism", which is distinguished from Pantheism.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panentheism




This is interesting. Reading the wikipedia made me think...

if there is a god, what if "he" is the force that is perpetuating physics, life, and all matter. making everything work.

Maybe this is just me but I always thought that god keeps us from knowing too much on purpose, because if we knew the total truth, we would go crazy or just go into mass panic or something.

Maybe god has lsd-25,000. He's gotta have the best drugs. THChrist weed.

i've seen demons, and the works of satan. Just don't believe that god himself would do that shit.  In my mind, god is all that is good and righteous, and true. While satan is the opposite. This is planet earth and its all fleshy and organic n stuff, so god and satan are interpreted as concepts, yet i still believe god is a single, self aware knowing soul just like me. God has the ability to work the space/time continuum though, so most all of his actions are played out beforehand. Example: I honestly need a job so through a series of chain reactions, a job opening at parks and recreation happens right before i go apply.

Too many people take the whole god thing a bit too seriously though, but it's all part of a learning process. Life on earth will suck for the most part, but then it gets better.  Almost everyone loves it when they are young kids, and wishes they never had to grow up, then you start growing up, you get older, and that peace comes back. Earth is simply a place to learn.

There is a god. Nothing beyond the creation of everything can be proven to me, so everything else is just preference of belief. Every religion preaching goodness is the same thing, and everyone worships the same god. They just put their beliefs and rituals in different pots that were all designed by man. Be good, because being good is never bad. Whatever afterlife you believe in, nowhere good seems attainable by doing evil.

buddhism isn't a religion.

the western world is a prisoner of it's words and habits, like dividing everything into two categories and taking most things literally.

you don't compare christianity and buddhism like they were two houses on a street.

buddhism aims for enlightenment whereas christianity aims at enslavement.

i didn't accuse you of it, i just saw buddhism mentioned in a thread about "religion & meaning of life".

satan, religion, god - they are just concepts of our minds trying to explain phenomenons and illusions which our brain creates. they are thoughts made into words and from that they materialize. people act like god is real - thus god becomes real to them.

if people need a requisite (religion) to find the meaning of life they are working inside of a controlled concept forged in the minds of ordinary men who yearn for power: cult leaders, kings, politicians, leaders of religious movements.

i haven't met jesus and i don't have a direct connection with his dad like the pope and other madmen so i can't say.

no one knows jesus, or if he existed or what he actually did if he did exist.

This is untrue, although I can see why looooots of people think that.  If you read the new testament, christ will encourage people to live free, happy, and righteous. What he encourages, is actually the most comfortable way to live. Though churches these days really do act like a bunch of hippocrites. I see no relevance in going to church. I don't like praying in public, or the way churches work.

Back when i was a churchgoer(catholic) the whole concept pissed me off. People would preach their ass off about being generous, about how christ wants us to give away all our posessions, but when it came to the charity drives all these home owners, people with jobs, would just offer up a can of tomato soup. Most people use church to give a false impression about themselves, so other people think they are good......... OR because their wives force them to go by using the power of pussy.
