So ... some end up knowing more ... and some end up knowing less |

You have to learn what God is not before doing learning what it is. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 61850741 United States 01/21/2017 09:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | God is an idea. I've been an atheist a long time, but I'm willing to admit that the idea of god makes sense. Something that created this weird existence. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72313746 Most likely, however, is that we know nothing about god. That all religions are wrong. They are all contradicting each other, so why would one be truer than the other? Is god something we can know nothing about in this life? All religions are true for those who truly believe |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73271507 Canada 01/21/2017 10:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | God likes it when people sing to him. That's my best guess. Cause he made us, and we feel inclined to sing for him. The angels all sang. Every tribe sings and dances and chants and hums and bangs the drums or what have you. God likes singing. From that, you can surmise he's as strange as we are. Gods a toe tapper. Scary thought, but somehow comforting as well. Images. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68785131 United Kingdom 01/21/2017 10:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All religions offer fragments of the truth. Christianity offers all of it. (I used to think Buddhism did, but it only offers the truth of a Godless, nihilistic world.) We can know Jesus and we can know love, but we cannot hope to comprehend what transcends existence itself. There is surely infinitely more to God than what He reveals in the Bible, but that is all we need to know as human beings. God is an idea.

You haven't read the Agganna Sutra and Abhidharma that I mentioned above. Therein is explained that at the beginning of this universal cycle, we were all Divine Beings, who have now devolved into ordinary beings of the six destinies. The idea that the Buddhadharma is some cold bleak materialist atheism is a huge misconception, spread mostly by New Atheist style 'Buddhists'. |
