no desires and no wants, that leads to no feelings. Keeps your mind and thoughts in nothingness or emptyness through meditation. If you do karma then you are going to go through emotions, feelings, desires and wants. Giving up all these brings no thoughts in your mind and through meditaion you can achieve oneness.
So then what about Karma. Don't we have to do karma to live in this world? Even the Sadhus have to have desire to get up in the morning and eat something to satisfy hunger! How can you live life without doing karma and that leads to desire and feelings. Does that mean that if you follow theory of Buddha means you don't do anything and just sit at one place and do meditation in order to achieve Nirvana, or there is other way to achieve the same through by living the life at your fullest with happiness and considerable wants and desire!

That would be fair. Or should we just keep religion separate from government?

Aren't you about tolernace, understanding?
Perhaps your anger indicates that something indeed is missing. And you interpret us as something other than caring, because there can only be one truth.

Their idea of freedom, justice, and equality took several amendments to spruce up. I'm saying that it is by no means an excuse to put God into public affairs EITHER WAY because it is not equality and not freedom of religion to do so. There is no freedom of religion without freedom from public religion. Now, who is willing to take turns with pledging allegiance to Allah, Buddah, Odin, and the Great Spirit? No one? Then take it all out of the public arena!

Someone asked a question something like will all the religions ever agree? Or something like that. I answered:

Question is better phrased what can Mankind do to agree on God?


Answer: The different religions would each need to send 1-3 of thier strongest people in the faith;and then once you got a couple people from each faith or major faith then they would need to compare their beliefs and come to an agreement that 1 of them is correct and the others are false.

Good Idea?Or no?Why or why not?And do you think this could actually happen?Or is it just a pipe dream?

Isnt this a direct quote from God Himself? "And the Lord said Vengence will be mine."

If so, why do so many of you beleivers mistake the murder and killing in the Bible for JUSTICE, when it is clearly VENGENCE??

Is vengence noble? All loving? Peaceful?

The Dodge "Ram" is a ram's head which is a common satanic symbol and the Chrysler "penta-star" is a modified pentagram.

What's up with that?!

Should I stick to buying GM and Ford products?

I was just wondering if the Billions of poor people do. People with no food and water, who have to watch Babies, Children, Adults dieing around them. While the world looks away. I wonder if they belief in the power or pray?? Or the familes who have severe disabilities in their family, and have to watch them suffer? Do they believe in the power of pray?.

Do psychics really exist and if so, are all their sayings always true?
What actually do they see and can they really see something about which they have never talked before or never have seen it before?

(please do not say "I don't do that". I am not saying that every single person does this, only that it seems to be the most common basis for responding)

Obviously most aren't here to share their views on religion, you can at least agree to this right?

Do you know that Zeus cares and loves you? Do you know that His wife, Hera, loves you just as much? Why do you not believe? Don't you know that our non-belief has been the cause of all the problems we see today?

Religious people in general. Are you telling me the only reason you don't murder, rape, steal and do all the other bad things forbidden in the Bible, is becuase the Bible tells you not to? You really WANT to steal and kill but you refrain becuase God frowns upon it? Is it possible you just don't want the responsibilty of making your own decisions and choosing for yourself what is right and wrong?

"They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me"
