Religion/Spirituality Athiest re-write the 10 commandments

[Thsnnor]

furious!!!!

Furious about what? I'm not mad about this topic. You are mad tho and that is OK. Acknowledge your feelings... I'm sure you have a few smilies you have not used yet.

The Buddha isn't a god. Anyone can be a Buddha. It's a title; the ultimate destination in Buddhism, he is not NOR ever claimed to be a deity.

Buddha has more statues for worship than you realize. YOU may not worship him but millions due. Rubbing his belly for luck in a casino, putting coins at his feet for prosperity many demonstrate daily just how much of a god he is. Better yet out of the hundreds of millions if not billions of people who follow him how many others have also achieved the same destination? I'm sure the answer will not be millions.

Why are atheists such cornballs

I suppose turning up at someone's door saying "Hello have you got a moment to talk about Jesus?" doesn't rank as corny then.

Because they're ALL Mormons.

Ok.​

I appreciate your reply breh, but this isn't what I'm getting at. I'm not judging atheists as case-by-case, just merely saying we have nothing to judge people on their "atheisness"

Because that's retarded. The way some of these cats have butchered it's meaning, 'atheist' is just a nonsense term and doesn't mean anything anymore.

You gonna judge the morals of a rock? An amoeba? A chair?​

Ok.​

You're having reading comprehension issues. I forgive you.

It is, but I really don't see what it has to do with my post?

This is what makes this whole thing corny and flawed. Atheism is the absence of belief in God and religions, period. It doesn't have any morals on it's own or a set of laws/whatever that you can judge atheists on.

I really wanted to take you serious but you come with some really outlandish comments based in mostly assumptions and rarely in fact. You don't even investigate the shyt you say... I'm tempted at just labelling you a troll and calling it a day.

The fat statue you're talking about is Budai.

This guy... he is not Gautama Buddha. He is a Chinese folklore; he is to Buddhism what the Easter Bunny is to Christianity. If you want to say people worship this thing, it's safe to say that people worship the Easter Bunny. Just in case you're feeling like repudiating that worship is worship, b-b-but what about Chan-Buddhism?, Buddhists can worship whatever they would like, even Jesus. There's nothing prohibiting a Buddhist from being a practicing Christian because Buddhism isn't about Gods, it's more about bettering yourself through meditation.

Now this guy is the Buddha:

Regardless of the leaps and bounds you take to refer to them as one, they're not the same. A google search could have explained this but nah, fukk all that reading and comprehension. Both names sort of begin with a B, I'mma roll with it.

that does not refute the historical fact that buddha has never been designed as a god by Buddhists

It means we can generalise believers as fukking cornballs too. Even more so than atheists.

He ignores the fact that anyone can be a Buddha in Buddhism. It's a title given to a man, not a god. But he doesn't read shyt, just goes off whatever he can pull from his ass to generalize.

not sure what he would post if he stopped doing that

Nah, you're confusing 'atheism' with 'anti-theism'. They're mutually exclusive terms that are sometimes descriptive of a singular individual.​
