if you believe in and trust god...

then you are a fool for worrying about anything.

 

Hello,

so believing releases you from self-responsibility?

absolutely not! no action is an action in itself.

 

I agree. It's best not to worry. however, different people define God a different way. SOme think of the magical mystical "sky daddy", (ton laer), others me, think of the human race, the earth, myself, my dad, my freinds, rivers, trees, and Lucifer. Faith is an important thing, but it's up to the individual how to go about it.

PEACE

 

Hallo,

if I would be god (in fact I am, but please don't tell anyone) I would be really pissed off if all this people would sit on their asses and waiting for me to do all the work.

Well said/God is mutha-fuckin dead, I won't start fity thread, dead like a dread (lock) on whitey's head- TZYDOG- Aspiring rapper, check the ill flow, mad technique and skills, yo yo.

 

exactly why karma last more than a single lifetime.

 

No, but recognizing the truth relieves you from anxiety.

 

Karma is more abstract than that. A true Bhuddist or Hindu woouldn't attempt to operationally define it.

BEst Regards

 

But you do.

Better regards.

 

Hello,

the objective, AFAIK, is to 'generate' no karma at all. How can one reach this objective? Isn't that stagnation?

yees, I am guilty of Hubris (analogous to the Hindu way of thought).

I have challenged my maker...DEATH (Not the poster, the concept, but the poster DEATH, from Dayton is a cool cat, he might as well be God.. better than the faltering old dead man with no hair who justifies arbitray human suffering, and thinks that eating aplles, fucking, abortion, being gay, and smoking bud (in mt ROman Catholic upbringing this was considered sin). PEACE LOVE AND DEATH:deadxmas:

 

uuuummm to become enlightened? as i obviously have not done this go around.. i have many lessons to learn yet.

 

Well, one could worry about whether or not they are doing the right thing in God's eyes.

 

Hello,

you're many steps ahead of me. I've been grown up in a christian context, but I don't practise neither Buddhism nor any other religion. That doesn't mean that I deny the existence of god. There is a place for god, even for rational thinking engineers like me. There's no inconsistency with modern scientific theories. In practical life I try to follow the rules of the 'Alte aus Koenigsberg'. Seems to work for me.

What difference does it make who created it, can't we just enjoy it?

 

Here's what the Bible has to say on the subject.

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
- Matthew 6:25-34

 

I really like this


And you know your Bible, bravo

 

I keep a stack of scriptures handy in case I need to lob one at somebody.

 

Dear Wild-Flowers,

no . It's human to look behind the curtain. We want to find out how things are, we want to play with them, which is equivalent in one way or the other.
