| | There are a lot of beliefs on here that I disagree with. Instead of allowing myself to get fed up, I just don't bother to reply to them. It's possible that the guy meant that the Buddist god was better because he took the guy to his heaven sooner as a reward for converting. Who knows what people on myLot are thinking? I have really read some strange ones on here. | | | | | | |

| | Krunkmunky. Buddha is another name for "GOD" just like Jehovah, Allah, Isis, or even Zeus ! Each culture adopts a name for their particular higher power they assign either a gender or personality to when neither are genuine attributes of a God anyway. Gods are historically genderless, powerful, possibly omniscient, omnipresent and omniportant but certainly not exclusive to the Christian, Buddhist, Confucianist, Taoist, or even Wiccan who have the most Gods and Goddesses and are not as confused as everyone else seems to be . . . So chill out ! | | | |

| | I am trying to swear off on religious discussions because there are so many judgmental people out there that don't know what they're talking about. But, I am having a little bit of a hard time. So, I'm just gonna ignore them instead. | | | | | | |

| | I don't even bother responding to posts like that. When it comes to discussions on religion I will just post my basic opinion. I never state my opinion as being fact. There are way too many religions out there for 1 person to sit and say I'm right and everyone else who doesn't think like me is wrong. That's the problem I see with a lot of very religious people. They just aren't willing to at least acknowledge that other people think differently from them and that it's ok. | | | | | | |

| | Not to be disrespectful but people these days treat religion like their favorite football team. "My team is best. Yours sucks" It's pretty childish. I suppose I can see where Buddhism would get certain religions' panties in a bunch as it promotes inner peace and enlightenment with the Buddha as a guide rather than "This miracle happened! Worship this god or he will smite you!" This is why I'm spiritual rather than religious. Though I do believe a lot of the teachings from several religions including Christianity I believe that religion separates people more than it brings them together in the longrun. Before anybody flames me and or tells me I'm going to hell, keep in mind I respect other peoples spiritual and religious choices and don't think they are wrong for choosing to worship in a more organized way. It's just not for me! | | | | | | |

| | I definitely agree with you on that. Organized religion is not for me, just a little strange for my tastes. Just seems like everyone is following blindly rather than thinking for themselves. | | | |

| | I agree totally with you. The world would be a much better place to live if only everybody would tolerate the others' religious views and not try to impose their own views on everyone. Religion is something very personal and private and should be recognised as asuch by all people. | | | |

| | Some people just refuse to believe that other religions exist and do good in the lives of others. They want to continue living in their own little bubble believing (or following blindly?) what their god teaches them because they are too ignorant (afraid?) to believe that other religions exist and can all lead them to god. | | | | | | |

| | I think there are a lot of people that go out there and read one or two chapters of the bible and then think they are an expert. The other major problem with some religious people is they use the scripture in a way that makes them feel better about their point of view instead of letting the scripture change them internally like it is suppose to. Even though I am a very dedicated Christian I still believe that no matter what religion you follow either way their is only 1 God that everyone is still praying to no matter what name they give Him. | | | | | | |

| | Ignorance, in all it's many forms annoys me, whether it comes from someone presenting a religious argument, or someone presenting a secular one. No, Buddha wasn't a god (at least, not in how we define the term "god" generally speaking), and he never claimed to be. Buddhism, however, IS a religion (I state this only because you seem to think that it is ONLY a philosphy). Buddhism does have a philosphy, it also has a spiritual side to it. A religion does not need a god to worship in order to be counted as a religion. If there is any spiritual belief system, it is a religion. Atheism is a religion in that the spiritual belief is that there is no supernatural (at least, for a majority of atheists I know. There are other "denominations", if you will, of atheism that would believe something that is counted as supernatural, and just believing in no god/creator/etc.). The person you're referring to probably meant to say "that shows you which belief is more accurate." I would say s/he was still wrong in their assertion that one person's death makes a certain religion more or less correct than another, but that is just my own opinion. | | | | | | |

| | There will never be a right answer and a wrong answer, as everyone holds to their own belief system. What upsets me is the total lack of tolerance and understanding between the adherants of the main religions, after all we are all living on this planet, do you think we could actually make an effort to get along. | | | | | | |
