im just going to be honest here. i’ve been dying to tear buddhism apart ( just like how i tear down christianity ) .i will attack it from every angle and make it look like another piece of mythological garbage.
bro, u keep posting that you are here to reason, yet ur title starts wif "BS", and in your first post, u already put on an aggressive start, with ".. dying to TEAR Buddhism apart...", and "... attack it from every angle...".. and then you admit that you don't have any respect for religion bcos you feel that they lead ppl onto do bad things, altho u agree that the major religion preaches good.. but u insist that that is only the "surface". Don't call me rude.. but with all due respect, how many years did you study Buddhism? And did you discuss your thoughts and views on those ppl who are well versed in Buddhism?
U say ppl haf used religion to start wars, etc etc.. u r correct, I agree.. but it has to be seen as "PPL USED RELIGION".. and not that RELIGION TEACHES PPL TO START WARS AND CAUSE HARM TO OTHERS.
If a person using teachings in a religion for personal gains and what nots, u blame the religion? Well, I blame that person, for that person has misused religion to mislead. But still, .. does that prove religion is bad or leads ppl astray??
sigh.. since u are so CONVINCED.. I won't go on wif u on this thread anymore either. I always believed that if you haf a thought, and then put that into a goal, and concentrate all ur efforts and focus on accomplishing that goal.. nothing will deter, stop or deviate you.
So, since u haf already made up your mind that what you believe of religion, is true. I doubt that anything anyone says will change that.
I do believe that ppl are entitled to what they believe, but I don't agree that those ppl should, or MUST go around tearing down others' beliefs and saying things that would cause unease.. be it Christianity, Buddhism, or any religion. I can only assume that if one doesn't espect any religion, then that person probably doesn't respect the followers/believers of any religion, for if u dun respect what ppl believe, does it not mean u dun care about what they think and feel, and subsequently go about saying things that you believe to be true, but may instead cause hurt and harm to others who DO believe in religion?
Free speech.. yes. but to a certain extent.. bcos we can't haf ppl going around tearing down statues and breaking down walls jus bcos they BELIEVE or.. DUN BELIEVE. That is how I feel.
