Would you go back in time to see if your religion was correct, if it meant you could not return

I would.
No. I'm sure my religion is correct for me and I don't need to screw up my life in some egotistical manner.
Spirit of Light
Be who ever you want
No, I would not need to go back in time to verify if Buddhism is right, I have no doubt it is correct teaching.

I wouldn't undertake a time travel trip if I knew in advance it was a one-way trip, for whatever reason.
Except maybe if I was terminal with at most a year to go or something. Then I might travel to 1969 and attend Woodstock.

...although it does sound like fun to go back to 10BC with 21st century knowledge and then use that knowledge to climb up the hierarchy of ancient Rome and become a legendary emperor....
On the other hand.... The knowledge might overwhelm them so much to the point that they'ld just kill me for being an evil wizard or something.
hmmm.

IF you could even find "Jesus", which is by no
means certain, you then find him to be just another
guy...? Does not seem worth doing.
I mean, aside from that your life there and then
would be very difficult while it lasted.

A guy who forgives people that nail'd him is definitely not just a guy... ive met many guru's in india who are adept , and i met a rare one during my teens , that guy / guru had exceptional aura his tone was soft , his eyes were bliss-ed out when he spoke. he was about 60+ of age .. i took his blessings and felt like a feather for the entire month after ... im pretty sure if one is sensitive enough you can sense the distinct from the crowd.
when you're materialistic your brain frequency is anal retentive lol , i ve felt both sides enough to know this.
whenever i recall that guy i still feel light ,calm ..

You are assuming the stories are true.
And going for sorry azz cheap shot insult.

well , lets say the stories are not true... but you have to then...CREDIT A HUMAN BEING for coming up with the IDEA of FORGIVING a torturer ...and loving enemies.
so the author of the bible even if it was a human being had EXCEPTIONAL MORALS for those times and nothing like that compares to the modern human morals or values of date.
im not insulting anyone .honestly.
i give the same response to those that ask what if bhagwat geeta was written by humans...i say fine...a book 5000 years old had a civilization with such values that we can't match even till date...then its still a wonder.

I'm irreligious but going back to ancient times seems like a bad idea for women, especially women who like working in classically male professions, being educated, and having no interest in having children.

If the ideal is to forgive everyone and anyone, then
it is not so tough to include everyone.
That is just not that hard to think up.
There are a lot of moral values in the bible.
Some of them stink.
And none of the morality is unique, other
cultures came up with the same things.
Ideals can never be achieved.
If you cannot even figure out how insulting
what you said is, I hardly know what to say.

what?? what did i insult?? who did i insult anywhere? i did use "anal retentive" and i said ive felt both vibes ..ive drowned in materialistic chases and i've been in and out myself included ...so its just an adjective for the vibe i felt on each side. dint imply that others are anal retentive..but that's how i felt when i was chasing my lustful goals..
TRY this ... ive literally tried this and felt how powerful that message is ... Forgive everyone that you feel has mess'd with you... and see how you feel the next day.
PS- include me in the list of people u forgive even tho i dint insult you.. just forgive me lol

I believe in returning but I am all in for all kinds of time travel adventures. I can rough it. I was a boy scout and used an out house. I would want all my shots beforehand though because extinct diseases would not be back then. It would also be nice to have an eternal life to do it in since there is a lot of history.
