Once a man demanded that the Buddha tell him how the universe
began. The Buddha said to him "You are like a man who has been
shot with a poison arrow and who, when the doctor comes to remove
it, says 'Wait! Before the arrow is removed I want to know the
name of the man who shot it, what clan he comes from, which
village he was born in. I want to know what type of wood his bow
is made from, what feathers are on the end of the arrow, how long
the arrows are, etc etc etc.' That man would die before all these
questions could be answered. My job is to help you to remove the
arrow of suffering from yourself" (Majjhima Nikaya Sutta No. 63).

So, there is no point we talk about how universe began and talk about how people became human or how they fight against God. Seek for your escape and don't talk rubbish.

"Kids believe what they want to believe."

How about this?

Everyone believes what they want to believe.

What do you want to believe?

You have obviously chosen not to follow some parts of the bible, but, isn't that like saying that you are "Kind of pregnant"? There aren't any grey areas... so, how do you know what to follow, and what not to? Or are you just eliminating the things that make you look even worse than you already do?

Seriously, if you believe one part of the bible, shouldn't you believe all of it? Or none of it? Doesn't that just prove that you know the bible is crap? Or are you blind to that too?

How do you chose?

I'm just wondering, honestly, how in the 21st century in the most technologically advanced country that human kind has ever seen, polls still show that somewhere around 50% of American citizens still believe that the entire universe was created by an omniscient god in 7 days. How is this possible? I assume there is just a basic lack of education regarding the natural sciences, but I am stunned. It is one thing to be a spiritual or religious person (in fact, i encourage it, it's an important aspect of a balanced life), but to essentially spit in the face of the past 200 years of well established scientific research just so you can be more pious or accepted within certain organizations boggles me. Seriously, can anyone fill me in on this? It's killing me!

Serious answers only please. I.E. No 14 year-olds who think they have been re-born.

I have another question about prayer.

I could have sworn that when I used to study the Bible, Jesus preached that prayer should be done quietly, hidden away from everyone, and not out in the open. The point was that too many people were using prayer as a means to show off rather than to actually commune with god. Even the people who meant well would also get performance anxiety and would start worrying about praying the "right" way rather than just talking to god openly.

If that's the case and I didn't just hallucinate all that, why do so many Christians pray openly and out loud in public places? I see people praying (both for me and in general) everywhere from Yahoo! Answers to graduation ceremonies and football games.

If Jesus said "pray in private", shouldn't prayer be done in private? Or is this just one more of those "You can't take it LITERALLY" things? But then, I'm not sure how "pray in private" comes to equal "pray in public" when interpreted 'correctly'. o_O

I can think of nothing more arrogant, and self-centered, than to want to take up a piece of real estate....FOREVER!
I GET TO STAY HERE FOREVER!
When you are gone, you are gone.
Is land for the living not as important as land for the dead?
I would like to be fed to animals, so my death could support some kind of life.
Many in my family have died, and I see no benefit of a grave. Sure, I miss them, but they are gone.

He created man who later will disobey him. If god really exist, he should have known of thins before creation. Why not creat men who are going to obey him. And even if men disobey him, he should forgive them.

After all her name in roman numbers is 666 (L=50+50+50, D=500, V=5+5, I=1) and she said that the pope was the antichrist because his title was Vicarius filii Dei wich also is 666 in roman numbers (A lie because the Pope's title is Vicarius Christi) probably for covering herself up

I see people answer with Xtianity is the Truth on alot of questions, they believe the bible to be fact. I asked a similar question regarding faith, and why you need it if your belief is truth. Truth is something that is factual, therefore not requiring faith. I sure im gonna get alot of, " well they say its true that mars exists but i cant see it so i have faith that it does" I guess thats to be expected. Please try not to genralize the question so that you can ridicule or demean. That sort of actually proves my point. Id like to know what YOU think, not the bible, so If your gonna quote the bible please Give us the George Bush favorite"In other words" to explain what it means to you.
