Whats The Most Peaceful Religion?

[Brigzy 1,298]

Is Buddhism a religion ? In Buddhism there is not, as in most other religions, an Almighty God to be obeyed and feared. The Buddha does not believe in a cosmic potentate, omniscient and omnipresent. In Buddhism there are no divine revelations or divine messengers. A Buddhist is, therefore, not subservient to any higher supernatural power which controls his destinies and which arbitrarily rewards and punishes. Since Buddhists do not believe in revelations of a divine being Buddhism does not claim the monopoly of truth and does not condemn any other religion. But Buddhism recognizes the infinite latent possibilities of man and teaches that man can gain deliverance from suffering by his own efforts independent of divine help or mediating priests. Buddhism cannot, therefore, strictly be called a religion because it is neither a system of faith and worship, nor "the outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a God or gods having power over their own destiny to whom obedience, service, and honor are due."

I'm not sufficiently qualified to enter into a theological debate; but every Buddhist I know, (and I know a few), consider it a religion, so that's good enough for me. Just as an aside, how doe's the UK government consider Jedi-ism a religion ?

 

PS; Sikhism, Jainism and possibly Zoarorastrianism, have the same basic tenets regarding a "supreme being" as Buddhism, and they also consider themselves a religion.

I do see what your saying mush and agree, but I think the IDF could handle the situation a bit better. its just a shame innocents have to suffer this shite. after all most of us are born into a religion and "brainwashed" as you say.

The only reason the Israelis haven't suffered higher casualties is that they have the Patriot anti - missile system. IDF may be guilty of firing on civilians, but at least they telephone warnings where possible, (15 minutes I believe) to warn the occupants that they are about to be hit. And their air strikes are targeted, using state -of - the - art hardware.Hamas fires indiscriminately, using crude, improvised or out - dated rockets.

 

I don't support every aspect of Israeli politics and culture, but I do admire their resoluteness in the face of the enemy, and their willingness to defend their borders at any cost.

 

Their stand is simple - "We will not negotiate while we are under fire".

Tell me you wouldn't destroy an enemy's ability to kill your family and friends without warning Norse and I'll agree with that crap you posted! Everywhere Islam goes there's trouble.... Everwhere be it Mexico, Sweden, japan, Thailand, their own countries, UK etc etc everywhere! What does that tell you??? And while we are on this subject where is the Muslim community outcry over these IS wankers beheading non Muslim men, women and children????

you think they are only killing non muslims you know sweet F/A and many thousands of these toss pot ISIS have been born and educated in western societies so what does that signify much the same as Al Queada and Taliban were started and funded with USD all the shit happening in the middle east is as a direct result of western interference Egypt, Lybia, Afghanistan Khurdistan, Syria Iraq, most of the so called Dictators were originally put in Place by "Western Democracies" and most of the atrocities were learnt from who ?

[BigBrianBorou 35]

[norseman 424]

yeah I know about the Israeli anti missile system, but I didn't know they gave warning. I know hamas are ruthless and need to be stopped but they are no match for Israel's armed forces.America and britian could handle that situation a lot better I think

or is it a joint conspiracy between Israel and the USA to take over the middle east as Mr Icke believes, letting ISIS wreak havoc in the area causing chaos and the the USA,NATO and others will become the solution, i don't by this by the way but i do question why ISIS has been allowed to gain so much momentum and territory.

IS has been allowed to gain so much territory because there isn't the support from the british and u.s. people. The governments would like nothing better than to follow the orders of The New World Order and invade the whole of the middle east and central asia to take control of the oil and gas, lessening our dependance on russian energy; but as was shown by the votes not to invade Syria, the governments of the uk and usa are fearfull of the backlash from the voters ! they WILL, however, circumvent their own voters, and do what they are told eventually.

i do think we had a hand in the creation of the Taliban in our efforts to hurt Russia after all we did arm and train the mujahideen that then went on to become the Taliban after the Russians left. but that leaves the question of Africa and the rise of groups like boko haram,

from what i can make out, it was never about winning but lifting the blockade on Gazza but firing rockets into Israel will only ever get one response
