I would like to take this opportunity to alter my original quote:
"Think neither god, nor not-god"
Buddha
to:

"Think neither god, nor not-god"
godnotgod

Thank you very much.

It's good to see you have acknowledged the fake Buddha quote, but I hope the more recent ones aren't fake too. You do have a tendency to make stuff up.

Don't be silly. I have acknowledged no such thing. The quote is genuine.

The quote is genuine.

Prove it then. Let's see your quote properly referenced to the sutta it is taken from.

"Think neither god, nor not-god." is what you attributed to the Buddha.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

"At Savatthī. “Bhikkhus, I will teach you the unconditioned and the path leading to the unconditioned. Listen to that….
And what, bhikkhus, is the unconditioned? The destruction of lust, the destruction of hatred, the destruction of delusion: this is called the unconditioned.
And what, bhikkhus, is the path leading to the unconditioned? Mindfulness directed to the body: this is called the path leading to the unconditioned."

No, I did not. It was attributed to the Buddha from the original source of the quote.
