I've had some people tell me I am the reincarnation of christ.
Lol sure thing buddy.Guess that makes sense you are a nobody just as much as Jesus was a nobody thanks for clarifying that least with any importance when you really think about it

research, re-evaluate, resign, reward, redeem, reincarnate, re-do...
religions are innate, what is there to judge? They can't make decisions or create themselves, those capacities are mankind's alone.
I do not judge religions because concepts have no responsibility and are not sentient.
I also don't judge people based on belief, but I do call into question their actions.
So I should judge a few billion people (Christians and muslims) with one base blanket judgement based on a view of the middle east sensationalized on CNN.
Complete supposition on your part, like most of your diatribe.I have met enough rational Christians and Muslims not to be that closed mined.
Sounds like your created a belief system based on network news, not your own personal experience with human beings.
It effects every facet of life. I have to put up with their fantasies. The list is too long for our purposes. But to be more specific, I had a family member killed in 911. He was a fireman, killed by "religious" lunatics.Why not tell me how you were directly effected by the religious for not accepting their beliefs?
Tell that to all those slaughtered in the "arab spring" in Syria, et. all. Tell that to the school children slaughtered in Africa. Tell that to all the victims of insanity and their families.Funny, I already posted proof that murder rates are lowest in the religious regions you mention, but you still argue a belief you can't actualize with science.
That's not religion, unless you consider black muslims religious. Fatherless children acting out in the streets. Females having welfare babies with multiple partners, and the state subsidizing them. Flames fanned by the phony reverend race baiters, and the media glorifying violence, making it "cool". It's sickening to me, especially since I live in the city.How come you aren't bitching about the belief systems that cause the plague of gang violence in America. What religion is driving that strife?
a little over 2000 Christians were murdered because of their religion last year.
Gee I wonder what percentage of 7 billion people constitutes 2000, maybe the science geniuses can tell me the chances of getting killed for being Christian versus say getting killed by lightening?
in 2014 about 24,000 people died from lightening.
More Christians died fighting a fake war as American soldiers than have been killed out of religious terrorism.
I wonder whose profiting from all this war and our insanely huge military budget. You read that part of the news too don't you?
Insanity is to think that a few people who proclaim to represent a belief represent all the people who believe it, especially based on the scientific knowledge born from those who believed.
No need to "sensationalize madness". It is what it is. Everyone can see it, unlike your imaginary gods.
doctoral research and statistics are diatribe? before you start expanding your vocabulary with words I used in my posts learn their proper definitions.Complete supposition on your part, like most of your diatribe.
List too long is a real cop out. It screams you have no real complaint.It effects every facet of life. I have to put up with their fantasies. The list is too long for our purposes. But to be more specific, I had a family member killed in 911. He was a fireman, killed by "religious" lunatics.
OK go into the inner cities and tell the moms of slain kids their pain is not as important as a that of fewer people who are killed because they believe in God.Tell that to all those slaughtered in the "arab spring" in Syria, et. all. Tell that to the school children slaughtered in Africa. Tell that to all the victims of insanity and their families.
Claiming a religion and being religious are not the same thing.That's not religion, unless you consider black muslims religious.
So what do you do to change it? Bitch about religious wars in other countries?Fatherless children acting out in the streets. Females having welfare babies with multiple partners, and the state subsidizing them. Flames fanned by the phony reverend race baiters, and the media glorifying violence, making it "cool". It's sickening to me, especially since I live in the city.
Well get out of WWII and catch up with here and now.I read everything. I am not behind the military industrial complex. I am certainly not profiting from it. G.E. and our President are, but I am not. See Eisenhower's speech, which I have referenced many times in multiple threads.
Numbers are facts, blanket statements regarding believers are opinions. You can back up opinion with fact but it doesn't work the other way around.Insanity is "believing" in something which has no basis in fact, yet permits the believers to think they have the permission of their god to commit atrocities.
Really?Much larger groups who hide behind their veils and turbans support the violent fanatics, both financially and in spirit. They dance in the streets and cry "death to America". These are not a few people, they are hundreds of millions.
The holocaust was genocide of a religion by occultists.So a "small" number of murdered Christians/Jews/Hindus in the name of god is acceptable to you? How about the holocaust, was that O.K.? The Crusades? O.K.? The Inquisition? The Ku Klux Clan?(bible thumpers).
I defend the American right to liberty regardless of race, color, creed or gender.There are many, many, many more examples, as you know, yet for some reason this is acceptable to you. You are in denial, defending your mysticism.
So, weird, if you don't mind me asking- what are your beliefs?
Seeing as you are a man of physics and at the same time keep respect for others beliefs, and seem to know a fair bit about them also- I would be interested to know.
Please Feel free to ignore the question if you don't want to speak about it tho.
That must only apply to a very small amount of people though? Surely most people don't really care what others believe in?
Tens of thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square for Easter Mass in a cold, pouring rain Sunday to hear Pope Francis call for an end to global violence and the persecution of Christians by extremist groups.
IC Mag taught buddhist...one can guess. It's a syndicate on here.
It wasn't an interpretation or a belief, You reap what you sow.Well I respect your right to interpret things how you want and I'm not here to try to argue that your beliefs are wrong or for that matter that mine are right.
It was actually written by 40 different individuals over a period of about 1600 years which was actually Gods doing not mans, man was the ink pen God the author, with which we/man would have an account of His movement in His-story. Otherwise all the fancy story's in that book are just cute disconnected story's which now become more connected.That being said though, I am disinclined to take the Bible at literal face value. Many like to say the bible is the written word of God. The truth though is it is the written word of various men separated both geographically and historically. Then one day someone, some man decided it would be good to combine it altogether and hold it out to the masses as the written word of God.
No man truly knows how old the earth is but we do have a good number on the age of mankind.Okay so let's assume it is then. If it is and then it should all be taken literally, in other words you can't cherry pick and only focus on that which supports your perception. With that in mind let's focus on Genesis again, specifically were it talks about the lineage of Adam and the lengths of lives. Pretty much everyone, every descendent of Adam lived for close to a thousand years. If true then by the time we reach Noah and the flood most if not all of the 6000 years some believe is the total length of earth's existence has already been used up and yet there are several thousand years of recorded history that comes after Noah and the associated flood.
This is from the King James Bible. It makes clear that there were men from some other source and then there were the Son's of God which was the line of Adam. God clearly did not have the same feelings about those men as he did his sons since those men he only allowed to live 120 years max. Further since nobody on earth today lives for close to 1000 years then clearly the line from Adam has died off and what we have now are just men of the earth and not that which was created in God's image when he created Adam.
The line of Adam is listed above, the sons of God referred here are Beneha Elohim, angels/fallen angels. Remember the serpent in the garden?“….. the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose”. ….”There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Gen 6:1-4 KJV)
The British scholar of Buddhism,
please redirect to those teachings as curiosity implores.
i'm interested in how I missed all that...
The British scholar of Buddhism, Edward Conze, suggests that it had. He points out that "Buddhists were in contact with the Thomas Christians (that is, Christians who knew and used such writings as the Gospel of Thomas) in South India." Trade routes between the Greco-Roman world and the Far East were opening up at the time when gnosticism flourished (A.D. 80-200); for generations, Buddhist missionaries had been proselytizing in Alexandria. We note, too, that Hippolytus, who was a Greek speaking Christian in Rome (c. 225), knows of the Indian Brahmins--and includes their tradition among the sources of heresy:
There is . . . among the Indians a heresy of those who philosophize among the Brahmins, who live a self-sufficient life, abstaining from (eating) living creatures and all cooked food . . . They say that God is light, not like the light one sees, nor like the sun nor fire, but to them God is discourse, not that which finds expression in articulate sounds, but that of knowledge (gnosis) through which the secret mysteries of nature are perceived by the wise.
Could the title of the Gospel of Thomas--named for the disciple who, tradition tells us, went to India--suggest the influence of Indian tradition?
These hints indicate the possibility, yet our evidence is not conclusive. Since parallel traditions may emerge in different cultures at different times, such ideas could have developed in both places independently. What we call Eastern and Western religions, and tend to regard as separate streams, were not clearly differentiated 2,000 years ago. Research on the Nag Hammadi texts is only beginning: we look forward to the work of scholars who can study these traditions comparatively to discover whether they can, in fact, be traced to Indian sources.
