  1. Buddha Dharma

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Oh I don't know that I went so far as to think about rather it is cause or effect. That may be why I didn't start a thread. It was a passing thought.
  2. Buddha Dharma

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    That is a nice thing to consider yes. I'm just not sure it harmonizes some of the incompatibilities. I don't deny the Baha'i religion has nice things about it.
  3. Buddha Dharma

    Eh, just personally I'll pass on the fried pig flesh. I win though ;)
  4. Buddha Dharma

    Ancient pantheism

    You may even like Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Naht Hanh. Some people do.
  5. Buddha Dharma

    Ancient pantheism

    Oh I forgot to mention the Stoic authors you could read. Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    It would, but I ultimately decided against it- for the time being. Someone else can start it maybe ;)

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Yeah that position also can be argued for sure. Maybe even on the grounds of Sidda.
  12. Buddha Dharma

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    I don't know about that. Your post brings me to an interesting point I considered making a thread about the other day. The fact that much of the unity between ideologies and cultures in the 20th century, where it was sought in place of conflict- took place within ecumenical efforts. I was...

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Okay, I can try to explain this and clarify it. What I meant by problem is the usual problem with a certain kind of universalism. That by saying all religions with conflicting claims are equally true- one is in fact saying they're all false. Since they conflict. Equally true is then what, in...

    Do You Know What To Do?

    Yes. Tell the portrait of Ariana Dumbledore to go back to Aberforth at the Hog's Head and transform into the tunnel to Hogwarts
  15. Buddha Dharma

    Ancient pantheism

    Tao te Ching, Bhagavad Gita, Lotus Sutra, Diamond Sutra, Heart Sutra. Some of the letters of Paul seem to teach panentheism. Chang Tzu. @Vouthon can help you out, I'm sure- with finding good Christian mystics.
  16. Buddha Dharma

    Ancient pantheism

    Anything Taoist or Dharmic. You also couldn't go amiss with some Christian mysticism, or Stoic philosophy. Those are arguable forms of pan or panen-theism. Mahayana Buddhism, in those schools where Buddha is treated as an actual transcendent reality, is clearly pantheism if you ask me.
  17. Buddha Dharma

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Yes, arguably in self-defense. I know what you're referring to, but I don't see Krishna as a warmonger. Most Hindus don't approach Krishna like he's a warmonger, I wouldn't think. They talk about the Lord's universal love and such.
  18. Buddha Dharma

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    I acknowledged the things I admire about the Baha'i religion in my OP. At the very beginning, matter of fact. I just think that this is a problematic aspect of their theology that requires some hard explaining. I don't see the Buddha as being like Muhammad or Moses, because he never would have...
  19. Buddha Dharma

    Do Christians think it is possible to reject their logic/arguments at face value?

    Yes, I am asking if Christians think their theology is so error proof that people must be misled, or must misunderstand it somewhere to not accept it. Those Christians that do behave as such, I mean. I've had Christians tell me I don't understand the atonement, so I reject it. These individuals...
  20. Buddha Dharma

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    As much as I admire Baha'is in some senses for believing in world unity and peace- I think personally there are some significant issues with their theology. The religion teaches that every world religion was revealed to a time and place, so might seem different. I find that a somewhat curious...
