I am a former correctional officer and a Buddhist. When I was working as a C.O., I was very conflicted about this work in relation to the 8 fold path and "Right Livelihood". I always wondered if this is a correct choice for someone who is serious about their Buddhist faith. Use of force is a very real possibility. C.O.s are trained in weaponsm, including guns, although it would be very rare if they were used. Is a Buddhist a positive role model for inmates or is their compassion better suited for other professions? In the prison system, you contribute(however indirectly) to the suffering of inmates, especially those who would be better served through treatment(drug users, etc.). This always was an issue for me, as I know there must be many Buddhist C.O.s in Asian countries!

...to try and prove God's existence to none-believers? the only reason we believe is by the faith God gave us '...it is a gift of God' we cannot give others faith, so why are we constantly trying to prove his existence to them? We should prove his existence through our actions and our lives, know us by our 'fruits'.

Instead of getting into heated arguments which will pretty much go nowhere, why dont you pray for unbelievers, that God will not give them over to reprobate minds, and that he, through Jesus Christ 'no one comes to the Father but by me' will, will draw them to Him.

Love all like Christ, and dont forget where you have come from.

I keep reading answers and theists calls atheists "ignorant" or "immature". Then there are answers where atheists attack theists and their faith. I have questions, i ask them, but i don't refer to others with different viewpoints as "ignorant". Does anybody else get irritated by this attack? Religion is like a battle for people who just want to be right!

I have heard testimonies and stories from people who have died momentarily (like on operating table) and came back to life. During this time they recalled seeing a beautiful bright light. They also said it was peaceful and some wanted to stay. Whats your take on this?
