Agreed with you RON.
I simply cannot accept some teaching that comes from the bible? or the christian?
Eg) Chris all go heave, non chris all go hell
Eg) Chris cannot take joss stick to pay respect to their late father or mother.
christians will be judge by buddha wheter they go heaven or not...

this is a joke. a good joke on christmas eve. I will present this as a christmas present to christians.
wahahahah
as for joss stick issue, every followers of their religion will tend to use their own way of venerating the dead and the departed. but they should have some sensitivity and common sense, that not all are christians, just like not all are taoists or buddhists. if you are from the faith, then just use your own way to respect the departed and no need to create a quarrel just because of this, cos religion is very sensitive. if they want to use joss stick, just let them go ahead. you shouldnt pass comments like you shouldnt use joss sticks as I am a christian, thats more like a commandment or an order, just like they didnt insists you using joss sticks to respect the dead. anyway the person is dead. respect should be when the person was still alive.
Any discussion on religion is sensitive and futile

dun anyhow say leh. Buddhia is not a god or prophet. no such thing as judgement day in Buddhism.
Agreed!

yes, but some of the teachings are really 2009 years ago, some even 5000 plus years ( I shall not name this religion), but really it has no place in a society forward looking like us. if the religion talk sense and coherence, I wouldnt mind at all. some religions really border on the absurdity and ridiculous claims.
karma in buddhism. Buddha is not a god.

I agree with you, that is why i left that sort of religion.
I have heard that got one religion, you know how they regard Jesus and Buddha as in their religion?
this religion treated that Jesus or the Buddha are their reincarnated god that appear in this world at various times as Jesus and Buddha respectively. now when you heard this, what are your thoughts?
I believe in karma.
That is why I use to work alot compare to my colleagues. I seldom grumble or complain about lots of work. I just work and help out the colleagues. In return, my colleagues never. But I take it as a way of life.

I don't know how to reply you coz I have not heard about this religion before.

these days there are many new religions. Really scary!
All is human invented religions.
there is only one truth and this is universal. you do not have to accept a certain god or prophet in order for the truth to be applied to you.
use common sense. just like we will all grow old, fall sick, die one day etc, do we really need to be a buddhist, christian or hindus or be chinese or malay or europeans? whether we are hindus or muslims or whatever religion, we all need to eat when we are hungry, sleep when we are tired etc.

yes pls read my explanations on the origin of religions, how they came about.
Ha....at this moment, it is better to have a roof over our head, have a salary, family well feed will do. Too much stress liao.
With or without religion, life goes on.
It is not as if that religions will stop natural disasters from taking place.

yes of course. life will still go on and the earth will still continue to revolve, religion or no cos they are not bounded by it.

That is why sometimes if I am not sure to believe it or not I will either ignore or take it as a pinch of salt.
