    Trump leaves Blue Dress behind a la Clinton

    An opinion is "I don't like coffee". Not: "I think porn stars are more likely to be dishonest". That carries implications. That's an assertion.

    In your belief why God created us

    That's your issue to iron out. You're a monotheist. You also appear under the assumption a deity must have generic love for people.

    Trump leaves Blue Dress behind a la Clinton

    And to think, the right wing tries to pass themselves off as the gold standard of values... They led a witch hunt on Bill when he did it. If it weren't for the right's frequent and blatant hypocrisy I'd never utter a peep about it.

    Trump leaves Blue Dress behind a la Clinton

    Because of course Saint Trump could never cheat, especially given his statements about women on record. Trump never does any wrong, does he?

    Why the Double Standard on Jesus and Allah U.K.?

    In my opinion, things like the rise of the Nazis using manipulative rhetoric shows that total free speech is a failed aspect of the democratic experiment and needs to be rethought. Democracy was undertaken to benefit people. Not furnish more elaborate and effective ways to harm them. Rhetoric...

    Trump leaves Blue Dress behind a la Clinton

    I hope you were joking about why people should find Trump impressive.

    This guy......

    Without derailing the thread into a philosophical tallywhacker contest I'll simply ask: can you live with the societal ramifications and consequences of a world where morals are subjective judgments?

    "I ain't touching that issue with a fifty foot pole"

    It seems like people were more willing to give this response when asked a controversial question in the old days, but I still deem it appropriate sometimes. Do you ever see questions on this forum and say to yourself: nope! I'm not touching it. An example would be the incest thread for me...

    In your belief why God created us

    I am not sure what this statement is supposed to imply. I'm also not sure what it has to do with my answer to your question. Do the gods enjoy when people suffer?

    How is 'not accepting the act' a true acceptance of homosexuality?

    Alright, I'll try to be more clear. I'm sorry if that was vague. I'll break it down more into specifics: If a religion teaches homosexuality is a sin- a homosexual cannot actually act on it. Meaning they cannot be homosexual. If a religion teaches being homosexual is not a sin, but the act...

    What Would Be Your Appeal on Judgement Day?

    I am far from an expert on all Sutras, so I'm in no position to do a comparison with texts I haven't read. I will say just for your future reference that the Lotus Sutra is the most authoritative scripture for my school, but we are not discouraged from looking at other texts and making...

    What Would Be Your Appeal on Judgement Day?

    Certainly he would, but he wouldn't mean by that: there is nothing true, or no criterion for determination. Westerners often suppose the Buddha taught nihilism. He was paradoxical and minimalist on the things he held as real, which is different. The Parinirvana Sutra (Theravadan: Parinibbana...

    Why the Double Standard on Jesus and Allah U.K.?

    I don't think being anti-Muslim is necessarily race motivated, nor should it be a first assumption by any observing parties that it is. Be that as it may, there are cases where being anti-Muslim has a race dimension. A Buddhist monk was attacked in Oregon for 'looking Muslim'. That shows the...

    Why the Double Standard on Jesus and Allah U.K.?

    Okay, so I've had time to process this information. What I think is- it'd still be hard to blame Muslims for what UK border authorities decide and is likely a stretch. Perhaps they decided the person had nothing of value to bring into the UK, besides more Britain First style rhetoric...

    What Would Be Your Appeal on Judgement Day?

    Well that's certainly an interesting view you have, but I can consider it to answer a hypothetical. I suppose my appeal would be I followed the Buddha, wouldn't it?
