ur all dumb in my view

You didn't need to tell me that... I know that already. I'm just saying... it's STILL the same. If you don't see that, then you're still thinking too literally.

Are you gonna be a buddhist just because it's a unique view of the world and life and whatever? Christians view the same way only they explain how to view the world in this way differently then a buddhist would.

Religion is religion... why go any deeper then that? God is the thing, the it, the am, whatever it is, that governs the universe and humans and animals and the Earth. It is all the same...

Oh yeah... and buddhists do worship God. You're "unique" perspective on reality is the God I'm talking about. It's all the same God. Fuck me... different Gods... that's stupid. Like there are different Gods trying to convince different people and cultures different perspectives on life with different morals and values... pfft, it's laughable.

i agree, y'all is stupid, and cant see that, because it happens to be at the underside tip of your nose, and only through deep meditation can you astral project and see this particular spot on your nose.



or you can do what i did and use a mirror then proclaim enlightenment :D

Not to mention the whole buddhist concepts of reality, suffering, and humanity is quite unique.

Buddhism teaches god is within the environment, the energy around us and yourself. Every other religion teaches us that. That's why they make out god to be like man-like creatures. I'm been raised in a buddhist household, the concepts are far in unique. Remember Jesus? He claimed he suffered for all our sins, therefore in return, we have to as well?

It's no different, the teachings are culturally altered and twisted, but deep in the heart of all these religions, the concept is the exact same.

Maybe everyone should just believe in the truth which involves showing unconventional love to all. Even those who are egotistical retarded assholes. Open your heart to these people and see what happens despite the difficulty. Jesus said "You can be just like me", I'm sure Jesus would'nt lie 'less he was smokin up on dat haze.

Philosophy is the root of human nature, and coincedentally or not, the root of religion.


by learning and growing, you are philosophising. you are just like these religions' roots. not to say they have grown to be anywhere near ideal, all of them stem from the same root, yet attempt to segregate themselves from one another.


this is why i stick to philosophy over religion, and why i tolerate taoism and buddhism more than i do islamic or judaism.

"You'll never know anything until you realise you know nothing."
I don't remember who this is from, but it took me 2 months and one intensely philosophical LSA trip to fully appreciate it.
I could try explaining my perception of it, but you guys prolly wouldn't get it. Not becuase you're stupid, but becuase when i talk to myself, I do it a certain way. I have it all in my head in the way I talk to myself, not in the way for others.
It's not hard... You can probobly understand it without even doing LSA. But the LSA helped me go deeper into it than I ever would of without. :rasta:

If he was actually "enlightened" he wouldn't drinking something as fucking bad as alcohol.

We all know that alcohol is the cause of so many of the worlds current problems.

That's not necessarily true. Plenty of people deemed wise have successfully used alcohol without becoming assholes.

And saying that alcohol is the cause of the world's problems is like saying that pot is to blame for the lack of morality in America. Some people who drink may be problematic, but don't go blaming the chemicals that they, themselves, choose to consume.

religon is just a crutch people use when they dont no how to deal. i smoke pot to make the problems go away (and it works)
