Karma. “What you do is what you get”

Our daily actions hurt others no matter what; thereby every person needs to do a process of purgation. It’s a Vedic ritual. As he was unaware of it, he could never assimilate the essence of non violence in his life, which encumbered his mind regarding the sins he kept committed unwittingly. This led to his untimely sad demise.

Non Violence extends from physical to mental realms. Sadly he never cared to understand the existing “Vedic Purgation techniques”.

First of all, you can prove the existence of something. However, you can prove the non-existence of god. It is a basic law of physics and science. Remember science class?

You form a hypothesis right? God exists

You gather facts, information, and test right? God has properties, omnipotent, omniscient, Omni benevolent. The subject should not have any conflicting properties.

If the hypothesis in question doesn't add up right, or doesn't work out even once you disregard it. God has conflicting properties that does not add up or make logical sense. His existence with his properties is a logical impossibility.

You cannot test faith because it is not based on reason or fact nor based on logic. Now in a illogical world, this god may exist. However, do not claim that your belief is based on logic because it isn’t.

Now on the existence of an undefined god, you cannot disprove or prove it can you? That is why I am agnostic. Too many atheists are just as blind as Christians.

I'm a Soccer Referee. These are Instructions to my Assistant Referees:
Si notáis algunas faltas o violaciónes en su cuatro de cancha,quiero una señal con su bandera en la dirrecíon del equipo que tienen derecho al tiro libre. Por favor tambíen deme una indicacíon del problema con su mano libre,(por ejemplo,empujando,tirado etc). En esto hay que subrayar la importancia de su propia credibilidad,es decir..¡primero debe mirar desde donde estoy! ¡En caso de un penalty,lo importante es estar 100% seguro,y que desde su punto de vista,no cabe duda que es correcto!
............. ¡Si tienes algunas dudas,no señales!

Many Thanks.(¡Muchas Gracias!)

What is the first thing that comes to mind. I ,personally, think everyone is a terrorist. You are a terrorist, I'm a terrorist, he's a terrorist, she' a terrorist, and even that dog is a terrorist. Everybody causes terror to someone or something at sometime in their lives even if they don't know they did. So go ahead ,terrorist, start talking.

Why? Well, it has all the attributes of the other major world faiths - omniscient all-powerful creating deity, mystic rituals and sayings, stories and commandments ("I'd-really-rather-you-didn'ts", actually, but it comes to the same thing) and in essence is exactly as valid as any other major religion. It has thousands of followers.

The one thing it doesn't have? Schisms or factionalism. Its members haven't fallen out or disagreed about fine detail, they haven't nailed any statements to any doors, they haven't set up breakaway movements, they don't snipe at each about slight disagreements in doctrine, they don't use violence against one another. This suggests that Pastafarianism is the One True Religion the world has been waiting for. Its members are in perfect agreement. Can anyone disagree with this view? How is a religion that bickers and fights and breaks into sub-sects and starts wars better than one whose members exist in such harmony?

Why don't people who move to Florida from other states realize that we have a culture and heritage too, and that this state wasn't created for them to come here and clog our beaches and farm/ranchland? They move here and are ignorant, and don't learn anything about the people who came before them.

I'm afraid I must display my ignorance here. It seems to me that you believe that
1. The universe exploded out of a single atom.
2. From random environmental events, life formed as single cell organisms.
3. These mutated into multicell organisms and eventually every diverse specie we have today.

OR

1. There is an intelligent creator able to create matter, who did so.
2. This creator formed from the matter all manner of living diverse organisms.

Is there a third option? How can anyone say that one of these two makes more sense than the other? I think that both require faith, since it seems that there are either huge holes or huge assumptions in both.

And PLEASE don't respond by correcting technicalities. If you're going to insert smaller steps of evolution, or claim that the Big Bang was slightly different from my understanding, you're not answering the question. Similarly, adding details about God or whatever creator(s) you believe in just won't help.

INVITING CONSTRUCTIVE ARGUMENTS ONLY.
HARDLINERS NEED NOT REPLY.

BEFORE ANSWERING READ PAGES OF:-

http://www.jesusisbuddha.com/

The 27 books of the New Testament, as known, constitute the fundamental holy scripture of Christianity.

Without the four Gospels according to Matthew, to Mark, to Luke and to John, Christianity is virtually null and void.

Recent epoch-making discoveries of old Sanskrit manuscripts in Central Asia and Kashmir provide decisive proof that the four Greek Gospels have been translated directly from the Sanskrit.

A careful comparison, word by word, sentence by sentence shows that the Christian Gospels are Pirate-copies of the Buddhist Gospels. God's word, therefore, is originally Buddha's word.

Comparison reveals that there is no person, no event, no locality mentioned in the four Christian Gospels not already present in the Buddhist Gospels that, for sure, are far earlier in time than their Christian copies.
