btw.. do read up on Richard Dawkins..
he's the other extreme of the "religious fanatic"
strangely, he chooses to attack only one of the religions...
OMG!
Base on so much theory to leave God.
Any way, everyone has the freedom to choose.

which is why i asked them to read up on Richard Dawkins..
you do not look at one extreme, and reject it by basing your arguments on the other extreme...
nevermind.. religion is a personal choice...
which is what the extremists on ALL sides refuse to understand..

Ok, will read his stuff when I am interested. Any way, we have the choice to have a religion or no religion.
Different people have different views
Only if you read up on other religions then you can make an informed choice.
My point is having an informed choice.
I made my choice wisely long time ago.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other
religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved
from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we
were
created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to
Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered
all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic
groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods
sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit
impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to
life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the
scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find
nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in
their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of
those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will
spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion
the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to
convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in
"tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers.
You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the
remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the
Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.
i dun want to feed troll haizz....
Thank you.
May you all be well and happy always!!!
Anger is a discomfortable mental suffering that even Gods suffer. It is not a permanent state of mind. Our original state of mind is calm and peaceful.
ANGER: One’s Own Worst Enemy
The Buddha spoke about the wretchedness of anger and said that when people are
angry, seven things befall them that will cause enemies to rejoice.
What are the seven?
1. They will be ugly despite being well-groomed and well-dressed.
2. They will lie in pain, even though they sleep on a soft and comfortable couch.
3. They will do things which give rise to harm and suffering by mistaking bad for good,
and good for bad, by being reckless and not listening to reason.
4. They will lose their hard-earned wealth and even run into trouble with the law.
5. They will lose reputation and fame which have been acquired by diligence.
6. Friends, relatives and kin will avoid them.
7. After death, rebirth will take place in an unfavourable state of existence, since a person who is controlled by anger performs unwholesome actions through body, speech and mind which brings unfavourable results.
Everybody seeks happiness, and the whole of mankind seeks world
peace. But, because of the anger prevalent in all sentient beings, few
people feel true happiness, and world peace seems an impossible mission.
Why? According to Buddhism, anger has the most destructive power
among all negative emotions. Anger will afflict and weaken one’s body and
mind. On a larger scale, anger will harm or even destroy the world.
Happiness Lies in No Anger
The Chapter of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the Avatamsaka Sutra singles
out the adverse effects of anger, “Whenever a thought of anger arises, one
million doors of obstacles open. A single flame of anger will burn down the
forest-like merits.” Anger is thus recognised as the biggest enemy to meditation,
spiritual happiness, interpersonal relationships and world peace.
wow i like this
wijaja go heaven or hell?
The fact that you WANTED to break away from Christianity shows that you never really fully understood the power and love of God anyway.
Therefore, you need not broke off, cuz you were never really there. I would ask you to try again, this time properly understanding His words, but ah, I know pushing atheists into it would just drive them away.
The fact that you DID NOT WANT to find out about Buddhism shows that you never really fully understood the power and unconditional love of Buddha anyway.
Therefore, you need not broke off, cuz you were never really there. I would ask you to try again, this time properly understanding His Dharma, but ah, I know pushing you into it would just drive you away.
Important: Don't add on your own words to the quotes of the bible. Anyway Christian should never rely on human understanding, what they need is faith.
But I think you did not have any faith. "Even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed," the Lord answered, "you could say to this mulberry tree, 'May God uproot you and throw you into the sea,' and it would obey you! (Luke 17:6 NLT)
God Admits He Did Evil Things
[The prophet Jeremiah speaking] "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to offer your prayer: If you remain quietly in this land I will build you up, and not tear you down; I will plant you, not uproot you; for I regret the evil I have done you." (Jeremiah 42:9-10 NAB)
Natural Disasters are God's Wrath
The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and furiously destroys his enemies! The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. At his command the oceans and rivers dry up, the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wilt. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. The LORD is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. But he sweeps away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He pursues his foes into the darkness of night. (Nahum 1:2-8 NLT)
Go and Hate Your Family
(Jesus Speaking) If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he can not be my disciple. (Luke 14:26 NAB)
Go and become a Eunuch for God
[Jesus speaking] For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. (Matthew 19:12 ASV)
Go and Gouge your eye out
But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye – even if it is your good eye – causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand – even if it is your stronger hand – causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (Matthew 5:28-30 NLT)
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven”-Matthew 5:18-19 RSV
Jesus says that he has come to destroy families by making family members hate each other. He has “come not to send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34
Families will be torn apart because of Jesus. “Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death." Matthew 10:21
Jesus explains that the reason he speaks in parables is so that no one will understand him, “lest . . . they . . . should understand . . . and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Matthew 13:10-15
Jesus explains why he speaks in parables to confuse people so they will go to hell. Mark 4:11-12
God allowed my ancestors Adam and Eve to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Thus, allowing us “to be like gods, and know the difference between good and evil”
Tell you the true, I almost become a pastor.
Anyway Gods that think they are the Creaters of any worlds and will never die belong to just 1 Realm Of 31 Existence of Realms.
True Buddhist dun burns joss stick as it is a part of Chinese folk religion. The word Bodhisattva actually meant a living human who help people with joy in english.
u chose the right path. to break away from christianity. i am an atheist myself and its more free to be an atheist than to be of any religion
