For all you Atheists, when it comes to the "God Theory" vs scientific evolution....

Buddhism is the most practiced religion on the planet and it is gnostic

Buddhism isn't 'gnosticism', though.

The theologies are entirely different​

Whole different thing.​

What do you mean it isnt Gnosticism? Define that?

There is no 'demiurge', no ''Archons', no Jesus, etc, in Buddhism. Gnosticism was an entire theological system that was competitive with early Christianity and tried to answer questions regarding 'good' and 'evil'....

They believe the same thing though

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Thesis - whatever position you take

Antithesis - the opposing position

Synthesis - the middle ground that accounts for the most realistic outlook

Any argument that can go on for

THOUSANDS OF YEARS

is not really two opposing views.

Here are two opposing views: People should eat plants and animals. People should eat sand only. This argument maybe would last for the first few weeks of the Human Empire, but once niqqas started dying from eating sand only... argument over.

These long long running debates are two sides of an invisible dance that is eternal. Dark and light are the opposite of one another, yet they weave and mingle on a pivot point that both are connected with. They define one another.

Science is real. Get your rulers out and go check.

G-d is real. No way to actually measure the spirit. By definition it is immaterial.

Material

Immaterial

The synthesis is the understanding that the spirit exists among the flesh. In fact, the substance of this universe is that spirit. That consciousness manifested into our material realm.

G-d does not use hammers to build, but the forces of the universe. G-d builds with gravity and nuclear forces and probability.

Yes evolution is just like the scientists say it is. And they will also tell you that DNA is scientifically impossible. As far as it randomly coming into being.

The world religion founded by Mani (216-276 CE) and known to history as Manichaeism has its roots in the East, borrowing elements from Persian dualistic religion (Zoroastrianism), Jewish Christianity, Buddhism, and even Mithraism.

Let me make this simple for you:​

Hebrews "borrowed from" Egyptians, but they didn't believe that Atum created the world using semen.

Same logic holds true for Christianity and Gnosticism.​

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

People keep forgetting that the bible was written by men and men claimed a "god" said such-and-such and people ran with it.

That’s my biggest gripe and feel religion is a hustle. I believe in God but not how these practitioners are pushing it
