Because he's just a pawn in your game of Chess.

Everything is a state of consciousness. Even that. It's the biggest barrier only because of the state of consciousness.

That was sarcasm.

I blame AI

What did the Chinese know. What about Abraham? If you want to go back to the old testament we treck very holy grounds. The Jews are the Chosen Ones after all.

Shouldn't be a need now.

Buddah wins there.

Exactly. Only the biggest prophet there is

@Wilhelm44Christianity is the most popular so it's the easiest to attack. The others don't press their point as much or try to convert you like most Christians do.

What about Moses?

@Breakingthewall Just curious but how many times 5-Meo did you move to anything else? What do you take from all your trips? Did you break through the wall?

That's pretty cool to hear the history behind the name.

I should have you talk to my gf. But these types of talks don't work on hard evangelists because they have it so deeply ingrained you can't shake it. They will not think like you and I do.

@Breakingthewall you're in there too I just couldn't fit everyone. Awesome name.

Enlightened at 22. Splendid. Took me to 48.

You can't sidetrack this thread lol @Loaded Shaman pretty nice but where has be been

You made me think. It's the people not the religion.

I think its because Christianity is so widespread. It's so very deeply ingrained, even more than Judaism. Way more. Try working your way out of that one or deconstructing that. It's almost impossible.

@Water by the River since you mentioned him..please shed light on Sogaku Harada. He sounds like a boring version of Mr. Miagi. @UpperMaster you have one of the coolest names on the forum yet we never hear from you. Hello Mclfy! You in there?

I'm not saying he didn't walk the earth I'm actually with you. Unfortunately though, saying he existed is pure speculation. History is what it is. I can also say that George Washington never existed. And there would be a whole lot of resistance to that. And the argument that our country was shaped by him so he must have existed. But in truth all we have is the writings.

Well..i think saying they are imaginary actually doesn't mean they didn't exist..in imagination. Did you see him walk? No..you didn't. Nor did i. So whatever we say about him is imaginary. So they're not wrong.

I'm asking you to state the obvious please. For us political dummies.

You get the bonus points too. Just don't let it get to your head. Might overflow the dam.

Sshh..you might piss some folks off 😀 And besides..maybe they did exist and were enlightened right? And from there everything got twisted because someone wanted to believe in someone to lead them to the promised land? But sshh..be quiet or you might really anger some people. They may even come for your head at night.

Buddhism came the closest with no self. The buddah was the closest of the three. The issue is Christians can't be torn away from the idea that Christ is the second coming. Yeah he existed and was enlightened..but...that's where it all got twisted around. I love it when a Christain says the Bible is the word of Truth.
