notmyself Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I doubt many will buy into the virgin birth story. Buddha was supposed to have been conceived by way of a dream. Parthenogenesis is involved practically all religions both old and new, Buddhism is just one facet among many of the same untruth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 -snip- ...Buddhism is just one facet among many of the same untruth. We were all there and we all saw it and know it to be untrue. If our mind and our experience can't "conceive" it, then it can't be true. If it isn't seen in our finite minds and within our finite lives and by us personally, it doesn't exist. How limiting that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How limiting that is. We don't live in a Universe governed by absolute knowledge, we live in a Universe governed by statistics. Trying to fight this would result in various degrees of chaos, knowledge would not exist for a start. There would be mechanism to stop people believing in anything and everything, all of the time. If it's raining and you go out you will get wet, can you or anyone prove this? No you can't. You may consider this limiting, I consider it liberating.

TomTao Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 If Thailand were Muslim, would it be any worse?For that matter, would I have gone for a holiday the first time round?...hmm. Sorry, back to the op, Not sure, but I love the monks, Id miss all their monkness if they werent there. My little orange mates. If Thailand was controlled by Muslims they would probably set out to destroy every place of worship that was not a mosque once the islamists gain control, remember the ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan? Christians on the other hand do not normally set out to destroy other places of worship just because they don't like it, they might try to convert the people who go there, and if successful encourage them not to return to thier previous place of worship, and Christians will not threaten the life of any who return to thier previous faith. If Thailand were Christian they would also emphasise the need to obey the law, and as previously mentioned in this thread there are those who go against the law, just because there is one rotten apple on the tree you don't condemn the whole tree. So if Thailand was Christian there would be more compassion, more obedience toward the law, a greater respect for life (all among those who are faithful to the teachings of Jesus), because the Bible teaches that you only get one life, one chance to get it right, not multiple re births.
