Pull the string on the Talking Christian Doll and hear the recording: "God doesn't send Buddhists to hell. Buddhists send themselves to hell by not accepting Jesus."
Follow that announcement with a random bible quote about how Jesus died for everybody's sins and/or their 'God' is really a loving, sweet guy, in spite of appearances to the contrary, and everybody is given the chance to go to heaven, hallelujah.
In reality, there is no hell, of course, and while there probably is a real God, that fault-ridden, man-made one in the bible is not God.
And Buddhists are cool.

You can think this nonsense about Buddhists if you want but I assure you that these people know God more completely than most of the bible thumpers that spout nonsense about God on this forum.
Buddhist teachings are an offshoot of Hindu teaching, a lot like Christian teachings are an offshoot of catholic nonsense.
Perhaps you should study some Buddhist or Hindu scripture, if your intellect can handle it you will be surprised to learn that western science and theology are just now catching up to what Hindu scripture was teaching 4000 years ago.
Your comments are based on ignorance, as are all derogatory comments toward the faith of others.
God is certainly more pleased with the sincere prayers of a devout Buddhist or Hindu than he is with bigoted ravings of many that mistakenly call them selves Christians. Love and blessings. Your brother Don

The Heavens and Hells described in Buddhism are quite different to that of what's mentioned in God based religions. Buddhists attend Nibbana or Nirvana - where no form of element (spirit or a physical form) exists. This is the stare where Kinetism (Kinetic Energy - living creature) and Potency (Potential Entergy - spirit) levels reach "Zero".
So - No human or Divine spirit is going to send a Buddhist to heaven or hell - as per Lord Buddha, it is the individual, but his/her acts would end up where he / she belongs when reincarnated.

You know for a fact that God does indeed send Buddhists to hell?

Define "God". Define "Hell". Define "All-loving".
Words are good for somethings but can only dance around the edge of this topic. Example: Can God make something so big even he can't move it? Say yes and he is not all-powerful. Say no and he is not all-powerful. If the answer to a question seems to point in two directions, it may be that the question itself is at fault. Many spiritual traditions recognize the limiting nature of words and how they can be a hindrance to spiritual pursuits.
Words are to spirituality what pictures are to reality. They are two-dimensional tools. Use them as a seasoning, not as a main course. God is your next thought and your next action.

A misconception about God is that He banishes people who do not believe in Him to hell when they die . This is false. I believe Hell exists... I believe many people end up there after death... but I do not believe God puts them there.
God loves every single person on this planet... more than they can imagine. Enough to die for them... including people who would not believe in Him or tell anyone else about Him. It is not a matter of God not being loving that people go to hell.
God gives everyone on earth the chance to follow Him and His Word. It's one chance we get. If we miss our chance, then we're not banished to hell... we are simply denied entrance into heaven. Christ will look for your name, and if you did not believe in Him He will tell you that He never knew you, and therefore you will live in eternal pain of separation from God.
It's not God being unloving to Buddhists... It's the Buddhists (or whoever who doesn't believe in Him) denying God's love.

Has anyone return from the after life after being dead to say that is what GOD did ? People always say stuff but really noONE knows. They think they do and they judge others like they are GOD but they are not. They are simply humans trying to condemn others and trying to feel powerful. I have faith that GOD is Love and is fair.

God sends no one to hell we choose where we spend eternity depending on who we serve now. We either serve God or satan there is no middle ground no gray area.
Jesus Christ who was sinless gave HIS life for us was crucified He became the bridge so to speak to God that's why there is no other way to Heaven.
God loves all and wants all in Heaven we choose.

Yes. Unfortunately the buddhists decided they didn't want to be around Him.
