god

yea juggalotus theres no "proofs" that god exist. sorry to dissapoint you but thats only speculations. Ive read many astronomical books and they were sayin the inverse.

And yea man i know its faith, but beleiving in something you cant understand, and that some ppl wrote a book about it and make it so simple, i find it stupid. Im still with the buddhist toughts, coz for me, humans invented religions to answer unanswerable (fuck is it a real word) questions. lol.

and yea its not coz u beleive or not in god that you are cool or not. but still, religions are creating so much problems. this pisses me off how everybody think they are right. and as you can see, you guys mostly beleive in a certain religion because you were eduquated like this. (thats why theres differents religions all concentrated in different places). anyway....

i suppose i believe in god, but not a person, high up in the sky dictating our actions. more of a presence, an consciousness, that is a part of everything. before all of this, the world, was created, that consciousness was all there was.

i'm not exactly what you'd call religious. i believe in God etc but i don't go to Church. the way i try to live is to enjoy life as i see fit just so long as it's not disrespectful/harmful/demeaning to others or the environment.

yea i like that way of thinking. buddhist are like that. one of their beleifs is to not harm any living creatures. (thats why most of em are vegetarians)

you guys know buddhism is not a religon right?its a philosophy.

well actually it is considered as one of the 5 principal religions of the world

by who??ask a buddhist,it is a philosophy.this isnt a debate.

it isnt even in the top 5?

Buddhism is a religion

Is buddhism a philosophy, religion or psychology?

The philosophy of Buddhism

I think you can interpret Buddhism as a religion, psychology OR a philosophy.

fair enough.
