Christianity Options

The reason Christianity is real to me is because it is so different from other religions. It has been tested and questioned by the harshest critics. It has undergone the test of time and the story has still been remembered.

The most important diffence is, it's founder lives. Buddha, mohammed, and all the various cult leaders are all dead. Burried in the ground. Christians search for their founder and find an empty tomb of a living king.

I read that nirvana in proper context means to liberate. Liberating from the cycle of life death and reincarnation. A state of non-existence is beyond comprehension and explanation because there is no one all accepted recorded expierience of it. In a state of non-existence there is yet another form that doesnt exist, but yet has all power and knowledge?

So you read something and formulate your own interpretations to it without consulting those who know their religion? That's kind of funny that you assume that you know more about a person's religion than they do.

I'm not Buddhist, but I grew up in a Buddhist family. My relatives are devoted to the Catholic faith, but I chose to believe in what I want which is something in between. However, I live in a house with a small shrine to one of the Buddhas, I think I would know more than you about Buddhist beliefs.

You assume that Nirvana is a state of non-existent. Of course a case like this reminded me that you once said: "Changing my words to suit your own denial and self indulgence."

You're guilty of self-indulgence, denial and of having a serpant's tongue when you make up things about another faith.

Once again, you assume Nirvana to be a place of non-existence, thus it doesn't make sense to you that power and knowledge isn't possible there. But like I have said, Nirvana is a place that no mortal of this realm can understand because it is beyond our level of thinking. If that is the case, then you assuming Nirvana is non-existence would make you think of yourself as a superior human being by knowing what Nirvana is like.

Stop making up things you think you know about Buddhism, please, or else you'd be forcing me to make up things about Christianity. Then we'll both be offended.

Just like lucifer to convince the hearts of men their ability to become Gods lies within their grasp.

And it's just like you to believe that yours is the only one that's right and others are wrong. Thus this is an indirect claim that your religion is superior.

When will you stop contradicting yourself? I do wonder.

I have a question. How can you correct me on the state of nirvana when all you have is an argument of speculation against slightly founded specualtion?

Speculation? The only arguement I have with you is what you say about other religions when you barely know BASIC understanding of them. What I have to say about Buddhism is what I know of it from growing up in a family that follows it. I can hardly call it speculation. If you mean I speculate Buddhism, I can very well say you base YOUR faith on speculation as well.
