    In your belief why God created us

    Thomas says more clearly earlier in the text then in it's final verses that men and women are equal. It says the world does not have full understanding until male and female are regarded as one and the same- so that male is not male, and female is not female. Maybe, but I'm pretty sure it was...

    Isn't the exclusivity of Scientific Verification accepted on faith?

    Actually my contention is with those that enshrine science and reject other methods outright, without having given the matter any thought. There is no obvious reason to outright reject non-scientific methods of verification, or at least to insist we ought.
  3. Buddha Dharma

    Is it time for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains to draw closer together for the world's sake?

    I find this very interesting because it reminds me of things some Buddhist teachers have said, particularly in Zen- about the world of Samsara and Nirvana being the same, but difference being an appearance.

    In your belief why God created us

    The Gospel of Phillip agrees with Buddhists that rebirth into the world of forms happens due to ignorance, and that the one from beyond the world of forms can appear as any being within it. Such as Phillip saying Christ has appeared as a child, a beautiful woman, an old man, etc. In Buddhism...

    In your belief why God created us

    This is what Buddhism shares in common with most gnostic worldviews. The view of this world as an entrapping web of illusions and limitations, so only capable of imperfection. There is a shared view that a being like the Buddha, or in your case Christ- came from something beyond this system to...

    God's opposition to homosexual behavior. Why?

    Everything in there has no leg to stand on in condemning gays. Their understanding of human biology and sexuality was underdeveloped, or even arguably non-existent. :cool: You're correct, that the lack of empathy for LGBT people is sickening. Reckon these zealots will ever own up to how many...

    Do you believe you aren't afraid of death?

    I believe I'm more afraid of mode of death, and if it'll be painful. I don't fear death as a prospect really. I'll be able to cast aside this suffering house of ego after a long run. It seems serene, looked at like that. Life can be nice, but it's uncertainties and less pleasant aspects make it...

    Don't forget he was an evil Socialist too. He supported wealth distribution. See Book of Acts... I tell ya. That dirty Commie.

    Favorite '90s Song(s)

    I better stop after this because I have about a million 90s favorites. It's the music of my childhood. The nostalgia alone can make it for me. It reminds me of those simple times, like getting into trouble with friends up the road when kids still played outside.
