Why aren't more black people interested in Eastern Religions?

Meditation isn't easy and asceticism is hard to adhere to in an anxiety driven, consumption society.

You don't need to be religious to meditate

Horus --------> Jesus --------> Buddha

Africa had religion for 1000s of years before humans migrated, d you seriously think those oral tales were being told by migrants? You aren't going to find text pre 5000 BC so of course not a lot of evidence.

I'm not buying it. Do you though.

Mind you, the indian subcontinent existed for a LONG time before the egypt you're referring to.

I'm a "practicing" Taoist. Think it's the most neutral, bare bones, look at the universe.

Why do you need to be "something?"

This is what I don't get.

Follow the lifestyle if you want..but why toss your rationality to the wind by adopting superstition thats unproven, unsubstantiated, or flat out wrong?

 

[observe]

They're bullshyt. Regardless of where they come from.

lifestyle is one thing...believing in supernatural bullshyt is another.

It's other unexplainable forces out there..if you think the universe is black and white than you're a fool..

Yup... we just been remixing it again and again that we don't know the OG source

Religions aren't limited to a single origin.

Religions are just failed sciences created by people to both organize their societies AND explain physical phenomena.

Yes, there is some overlap as a result of cultural overlap and interaction, but to ignore that "religious" concepts can independently arise is flat out wrong.

What does that have to do with my post?

Not really.

You are wrong.

You don't know what you just said.

What does this have to do with being 'black or white?"

There are things I don't understand.

And?

That doesn't mean I get to make shyt up to fill that hole in.

The point is to keep searching and asking questions...not adopt bullshyt to fill that hole.

The god of the gaps just moves the goalposts whenever you learn what you previously thought "god" was there fore.

Science can't answer the meaning of life like eastern religions can

This is a cop-out. You can't source and provide evidence for groups of people whose tech made them ephemeral.

Except, it can.

And has.

And will continue to.

Eastern religions don't answer anything.

Providing a "pattern" for you to live by doesn't mean theres a "meaning" of life.

The "how" is more important than the "why"

Nah, the concept of a sun god is well established.

you're really trying too hard.
