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

[observe]

I'm a athiest but it's crazy to think that religion didnt have a impact on human history...

They didn't "worship different shyt" which is why I know you are lost

And why would the Old Testament, which was written by Levantines. say we all migrated out of Africa and be right 2000 years before scientist confirmed it?

You're just making up timelines now.

Why was the European Crusades so intent on raiding Ancient Egyptian artifacts?

I have no clue, and you disrespecting anthropological timelines on your couch doesn't change anything.

""Like most behaviors that are found in societies throughout the world, religion must have been present in the ancestral human population before the dispersal from Africa 50,000 years ago. Although religious rituals usually involve dance and music, they are also very verbal, since the sacred truths have to be stated. If so, religion, at least in its modern form, cannot pre-date the emergence of language. It has been argued earlier that language attained its modern state shortly before the exodus from Africa. If religion had to await the evolution of modern, articulate language, then it too would have emerged shortly before 50,000 years ago.""


"Writing is thought to have been first invented in either Sumeria or Ancient Egypt and was initially used for accounting. Soon after, writing was used to record myth. The first religious texts mark the beginning of religious history. The Pyramid Texts from ancient Egypt are one of the oldest known religious texts in the world, dating to between 2400–2300 BCE.[42][43][44] Writing played a major role in sustaining and spreading organized religion. In pre-literate societies, religious ideas were based on an oral tradition, the contents of which were articulated by shamans and remained limited to the collective memories of the society's inhabitants."

The "why" doesn't answer anything.

Of course it doesn't. "Why?" is a fukking question.

The "role" religion has had is this:

1. organization of society

2. a failed science at deriving (or approaching) ultimately demonstrable truth claims

Thats it.

All the other pontificating and thinking and questioning and essentially mental masturbation is relevant only to specific societies who struggle with their own mortality and attempts to cope with their existentialism.

The "why" isn't a question.

Asking "why atoms are the way they are" doesn't even make sense without first understanding HOW they are the way they are.

I don't need to. Both of you have consistently made unsupported claims throughout this thread. Just name an academic source for these claims



The word Krishna literally means black in Sanskrit


He's described as being black



He's depicted as being black in Murtis and paintings

But he's not black? Blue isn't a human color either

You're the one who hasn't known what they're talking about in this thread........I've corrected you on multiple occasions

The name can be translated many ways, black, dark, beautiful… so the meaning of his name means nothing. How the people who worship him describe him his more valid to me.


You haven't corrected me yet. You're giving opinion and I'm giving you quotes from divine Hindu scholars and spuritual books. fukk outta here.

In the Brahma-samhita also, the color of Krishna's body is compared to that of a bluish cloud. The color of the Lord is not poetical imagination. There are authoritative descriptions in the Brahma-samhita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita and many of the Puranas of the Lord's body, His weapons and all other paraphernalia. The Lord's appearance is described here as padma-garbharekshanam. His eyes resemble the inside of a lotus flower, and in His four hands He holds the four symbols: conchshell, discus, mace and lotus."

Show me proof like you're telling others or miss me with your bullshyt because I can find FAR more paintings of him with blue skin than you can black.

I'm sure you have all the answers about life and death

The "why" isn't a question.

Asking "why atoms are the way they are" doesn't even make sense without first understanding HOW they are the way they are.

So you don't need a reason for examining the atom in the first place?

Different question.

Asking "why are there atoms"

is different from

"how do atoms work"

The "why" doesn't make sense because it infers theres another universe to even compare the answer to and arrive at some ultimate answer for everything.

Which answers?

How life works? Yes

How "death" or the lack of life works? Yes

Anything beyond that is an attempt at making philosophy more relevant than it needs to be

You don't know anything bro..maybe you need to drop some acid or something

How does this make any sense?

Acid (like any drug) just changes your brain's chemistry. It doesn't change the physical space you occupy, merely your experience of it.

It's more than a drug bro..it opens your potential mind up

I'm saying there's no point in knowing how atoms work if there's no reason (the "why")to know that.


Ultimately, this is where science is always going to leave you wanting. There's no point to it all, besides maybe extending your meaningless existence.


Just like when religious people ignore the "how," atheists ignore the "why" and both of your philosophies are incomplete.
