Religion & Spirituality - 1 November 2006

During his recent visit to Canada, the Dali Lama took part in a spritual debate. The other individuals kept talking and talking while the Dali Lama kept quiet. Finally, he was asked what kind of organized spiritualism would work best.
He shook his head and said, "You do not need 'organized' spiritualism. All you need is compassion. Compassion toward every person you meet every day. Compassion".

How much comapassion for others do YOU have?

This is my question : Since Buddhism acknowledges incarnations, when exactly does a soul get attached to a new body? Shortly after conception, birth or during some stage of pregnancy?
Second part :If it is before birth, does Buddhism have an opinion on abortions?

just that i asked those athiests and they cant quantify thier reasons
for disbelieving ,though thier replies reveal some were abused ,some are well versed in scripture
others never even touched a holy text
yet those who believe in the one god still remain devided
so are those who disbelieve4 or those who believe more united
the disbelievers have thier leaders and thier followers
but the believers are all followers?
dividing the goats from the sheep the mindless will yet be mindles and the sheep will yet follow blindly
is god more content with mindless follower or a mindfull disbeliever ,some those of belief critisise in thier unbelief might be of same mind though of divergent disbelief
i love you all
believe or disbelieve
just explain why

is nonsense. They all are against women in one way or another, they all put the responsibility of men on us. We're basically the cause of all evil in all, and then we're also the main source of a husband's reason for hitting us. In the bible, women are told their birth is a total loss. in Islam, women are told they need to be treated like a child and get permission to do the smallest things and that they are less intelligent and weaker than men. In Judaism, the men seek to control us. I am a thinking individual, and I'm beginning to think that religion is nonsense. I will still fight for what I believe in for the most part, but I can't possibly live it because I honestly don't feel it. What can I do?

A doctor is riding his camel through the desert when it becomes lame. He has passed a well 2 days ride back, and knows it is 3 days ride to his destination, a sick man in a town. He knows he has not got enough water to make it to the town, so he decides to go back to the well and wait for a camel train to take him to the town. He only just makes it to the well before perishing, and is so weak that when he attempts to retrieve the bucket, he falls in and drowns.

How would they know? They can't prove evolution wasn't real unless they saw it all through time, or if they were gods. Fossils show changes between species like snapshots in time. That would seem like proof to me.

The Very First Amendment to the United States Constitution States: Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of 1.RELIGION, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of 2.SPEECH, or of the 3.PRESS; or the right of the people peaceably to 4.ASSEMBLE, and to 5.PETITION the government for a redress of grievances. - Now I'd say that about sums it up! So Shut - up, as you are infringing on my rights. I stopped believing in God jr.(SANTA) at an early age.
How the hell do you explain The Human(PRIMATE) Genome, or Genetic Engineering? Are we merely correcting GOD's mistakes? There would not be any birth defects, if there were in fact some PERFECT GOD, watching over us. Do yourself, and the world a favor, pick up a book on Nucleoside Research, or Genetic Engineering, basically get a real life. Christianity has stolen it's holiest day from The Pagan God Mythra, in it's day of thanks for a good harvest.

I am not here to stand for any religion but...the bible tells of many bad things that will happen in the "last days".

Examples:

2Tim 3:1 "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty."-DO YOU THINK THIS IS HAPPENING?THINGS ARE NOW MORE DIFFICULT THAN SOME 100,200 years ago?

1Tim 4:1 "Now the Spirit expressly says that in LATER TIMES some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons"-In your opinion, do you think this is happening?

1Tim 4:2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,

1Tim 4:3 "WHO FORBID TO MARRY..."
-Do you think many people marry than some years ago?
(co
"and REQUIRE ABSTINENCE FROM CERTAIN FOODS that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth."-DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE CASE?

1Tim 4:4 "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,"
