What mythical entity do buddhists follow? [Post edited 17 Jul 2014 12:33]

That's only the christian god. You should look up some of the roman gods or the norse gods.
Buddhists don't have a god. They have a list of rules. I await your horrified response that people put faith in a list of rules, like the 10 commandments. | | | |

Stomping my feet? Where the fekk did you get that from? Since when is correcting statements littered with so many errors, yet passed as fact, stomping feet? If you want an example of someone stomping their feet, refer to your post.
But then again, you're a pedantic prick just trying to get a rise out of anyone. You've already posted something "to be assumed as fact" as you didn't post any comments to say it was an anecdote. Do you have to post bullshit to try to be taken seriously?
And to answer (once more) your point on North Korea, as you may have missed it first time, North Korea is NOT an atheist state in the manner that the majority do not believe in a god. In fact, religion is indeed practiced there. However, the leader Kim Jong Un is the supreme leader and sits at the position a god would in a society such as ours.
For the record, it's referred to as the Cult Of Personailities

You can then give me your views on taoism, and what a terrible destructive force its message of 'living in harmony with they way of the universe' is. [Post edited 17 Jul 2014 12:38]

Only you assumed it as fact, and jumped to an all mighty assumption, as per.
This thread is not about NK, while the state is not 'Jackboostardo' official, it is officially Atheist to many others around the world. The practice of religion is through propaganda purposes, a bit like the 'god' image of Kim Jong Un the leader that you seem keen to emphasise. | |

Yet you were the one suggesting God and faith is love!
And if you want to get into the other 'ancient' gods (some I have already mentioned) then why haven't they destroyed life yet due to the lack of followers?
And Buddhism, whilst is vacant of a god per-se, is a pre-determined doctrine on living a life to a specification. Originally created by Sidartha Gautam (I don't have the exact spelling but from memory it seems okay), who later became known as Buddha, it was created after effectively spending too much time in the sun for a few days. If you have any knowledge of Buddhism, you will also know it heavily involves reincarnation and karma - therefore implying there is some mystical judge somewhere who will dispense justice, or choose your next life based on your actions. So, there's my horrified response. | |

You can call it whatever you want - if the majority of people believe Kim Jung Un can make volcanoes glow, make birds appear in the sky, turning lakes into ice, and make the moon rise, then it is what it is!
An atheist does not believe in a god or 'gods'. Yet, what kind of mystical bullshit would make people believe Kim Jong Un is responsible for making lakes turn to ice and instructing the moon to rise?! You do the logic - I'm sick of thinking for you! | |

it's obvious you're trolling Drizzle, I just fail to see what pleasure you get out of it. It's a sad state to be in, getting pleasure out of trying to wind people up, sad really! | | | |

You are such a discourteous ass. And so ill-informed. And so pompous. And so infernally closed-minded. Not worth disputation.
And I didn't "defend" Drizzle. Just complimented him on his courteous and reasoned responses. So unlike yours.
And I didn't come on to participate in this discussion. It's been done to death on here, and by far better thinkers than you, on both sides.
"Zeus" was mildly sarcastic humour, fool.
Blocked. | |

To remind you of your post:-
"Drizzle, I must offer you my deepest respect for both your reasoned responses and your courtesy in the face of all that has been thrown at you. I'm completely serious. Well done.
Now stop responding before I lose my faith in you. Please learn when to stop trying to change the mind of one who has embraced an idea implacably. And don't be drawn into a pissing contest. It's unwinnable.
By the way, any hope for his arguments ended when he cited Christopher Hitchins!
Zeus!
p.s. Mankind invented religion to (1) explain the inexplicable, and (2) to provide a moral code of conduct [for people who live in communities -- hermits need not apply]. As poorly as they did with (1), so well did they do with (2)."
And as you've pasted (so I won't repeat), my post.
So because I considered your post somewhat condescending, you resort to personal insults. I actually thought you were fairly reasonable at one time Davilin. Someone who was able to converse in a debate like an adult.... sadly I have been proven wrong.
Unclear why you have taken this OTT reaction, but if you are able to be 'mildly sarcastic' but can't take it back, then this shows you up as a "fool".
And far better thinkers? Drizzle has arguments with more holes than thai brothel, and you came here to "participate in a discussion", received a response and then became personal. I think the answers are there on this thread for all to see don't you think?
The manner of your post and you call me pompous? | |

So Buddhism isn't a religion?
"Wide opened is the door of the Deathless to all who have ears to hear; let them send forth faith [saddha] to meet it."

Well my only argument on this thread is that religion is flawed and with good reason. You keep providing evidence that religion is flawed when its what I have been saying all along. | | | |
| The Bible and Christianity nailed on 16:57 - Jul 17 with 1100 views | Drizzle |
I'm trolling? You really cant accept that people who have faith are sincere, so anyone who would defend them would be on a wind up? Sounds a little paranoid. Its rather funny to hear someone who doesn't have faith talking about the basis of faith. If you don't have faith, how on earth can you know here it comes from? Your opinion is irrelevant to other peoples lives.
I always enjoyed Bill Hicks when he talked about religion. He came from a religious family, and knew that faith was important to his parents. He still managed to reject religion, but he did it with love.
Whats sad is that you cant see that something you reject may have positive connotations for others. [Post edited 17 Jul 2014 19:08]

What's all the fuss you either believe or you don't but atheists are aways right as it can't be proved either way

I have never said it cannot be positive for others.
I'm not going to feed your ego anymore - you carry on though with your one handed argument :) | | | |

Absolutely!
I would love it if this shit wasn't taught to kids as fact. It's an insult we even get documentaries about the Bible on the Discovery Channel, yet alone in a school or at home! | |

According to jackb religion is ok as long as you don't call it religion. If you hadn't noticed this is a forum, whether religions is all b0llocks is what is up for discussion. You'd think you'd understand that after all the irate ranting you do on here. Maybe should try the angry misanthropes forum, or you can follow bastardo to the 'blissfully unaware of my own stupidity' forum. [Post edited 18 Jul 2014 7:23]

If you want to get involved in a discussion which is important to some, have the balls and the ammo ready! Otherwise don't bother. You can't even form a comprehensive response that's anywhere remotely accurate, yet enough form a somewhat crap attempt at humour. | |
