Sorry I pissed you off. Let's just drop this topic, OK?

Those caps had it coming; all shiny and flashy, spinning so fast down the street...it's enough to drive a dog to the brink.
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.AeschylusRead more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/qu...zeMUwcpY1Io.99

If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

Is that really the essential question? Essential in what way exactly?
I think the essential question is the following: Is Jesus who He claimed to be or is He a fraud?

The essential question is who is Jesus and who/what is Buddha?
Jesus claimed to be a god and man and Buddha claimed to be human and awake.

And that's why Jesus wins.

End of discussion for the simple minded.

I'm not belittling you, so unsure why you're doing it in return. I just think Jesus wins in all aspects. Am I not allowed to believe that without being "simple minded"?

You turn what could be an interesting discussion into win/lose terminology. That completely shuts down any dialogue.

Oh well, you lose. Take care!

No point in discussing the topic any further. We wouldn't want a Buddhist to talk about Buddha on this forum, would we?
You've shut it down. Bye.

We welcome discussion of all religions and all topics. What we/I have an issue with is stupidity, idiocy & people whining and crying victim. People who continually belittle and talk shit to others but then cry foul and play the victim when others do the same. People who condemn the board as a whole, and staff, and owners, about what people have done and people that have left, and spout the same lies over and over, even though already proven to be wrong.
Oh, and this isn't a thread meant to discuss Buddha. It was a question, and I answered several times. I believe you have threads strictly about only Buddha already, continue in those, or start a new one. Either way, I don't give a fuck.

I get the message. No more Buddhist commenting on this thread. You got it.

I get the message. You are a lesbian and hate everything man. If a man posts, he gets scorn, because you hate all men. You got it.
