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.

Don't be a fool.

Are you sure it wasn't because you already had Jesus in your subconscious as your God? I have a girlfriend who was raised a Christian and talking to her about Truth and God is very difficult because she believes in Jesus. So I don't anymore but I do go to Church with her. And this type of thing only solidifies it more. Are you sure this wasn't something you hallucinated. Be careful about that. Keep an open mind.

Stop thinking in terms that someone or something has consciousness and then you will have your answers. Collapse that duality. Consciousness stands alone. What Consciousness can then do is spit out the illusion hat someone or something could possess Consciousness when in fact it is the reverse. Reality is nothing more than a collection of grand illusions that Consciousness is able to play, to put forth a performance for the ages. The dream.

Very But awesome simultaneously

Why do you think the perception of the most powerful countries are so bad ? Aside from Israel. We will talk about Israel later.

It is more than this obviously. They didn't want to annex Ukraine for this reason. Putin is power hungry just not as crazy as Hitler was.

He's stage red but I think a lot of the democrats were so scared the world as we knew it would come to an end if he became President. It didnt. At the same time Trump hasn't made much of an impact. Other nations laugh in his face and back home things haven't gotten any better. If anything you guys should be happy about that. It might open the door for a democrat to step back in. Musk wants to see to it too.

Clinton was pretty messed up.

The amount of lies is no more than the amount of lies given by the democratic party. It's just that you've taken a particular side. @Leo Gura is it? or are you to biased to see the Truth. If you are indeed hallucinating realty ..which by the way you are..then you dreamed up Trump. You wouldn't make him that bad because if you did you would put yourself out of the game. You did just enough to make it interesting

@Josheno i just feel hes not any worse.

He's you. So he's not going to end in a hell realm. You are haullicating him

@Leo Gura you want a deep understanding of Trump. You have more to go He's a weird mixture.

Well..if you want to span decades then we will need decades to know of his presidency led to an improvement.

If you wanna change things around to fit your narrative, sure.

Many seek that. It doesn't lead to the end of the USA as many fear mongerers predicted.
