The Buddhists Do Believe In God

[MormonFreeThinker]

Some people are mocking the video because they say that Buddhists do not believe in God.

The religious Buddhists do believe in the God of Einstein, the God of Spinoza, the God of beauty, the God of order. 

The Buddhists are also religious because they believe in the next life. 

Some Buddhists do not believe in a secular scientism. 

 

Buddhism - "A widespread Asian religion or philosophy, founded by Siddartha Gautama in northeastern India in the 5th century bc."

Buddhists don't believe in a creator God, they aren't a-theistic they are non-theistic

Religious Buddhists do believe in a kind of God of Spinoza. Very similar.  

 

Atheists Buddhists do not.

Sigh.

 

More semantics.

 

Probably good for 40 pages or more.

They (religious) at least believe in the God of order and the God of Beauty.

And this has to do with Mormonism why exactly?

The video was deleted (in the original post), here it is again. I can't hear it because I am in class at this moment. 

Did something change?

Why needing to bring out this connection with the Buddhists?  What does it really matter that someone is incorrectly mocking this video?  What does it have to do with the video going viral?  It seems like you just like to start threads sometimes.

 

Serious question...

[MormonFreeThinker]

Why?

 

Because inappropriate videos have millions of views.

If that video goes viral, it will appear in the "Suggestions" in Youtube.

See my edited version for my more complete thought...

 

If you wanted the video to go viral, why not just post in the original thread to share it?

[Avatar4321]

So in other words, you don't really care a out what. Buddhists believe. You just want to spread the video. Seems kind of trollish to me.

 It seems like you just like to start threads sometimes.

 

Why not? It it just a message board, I don't take it too seriously.

Maybe you should change your portrait picture to something less serious

Why not?

 

Because it is annoying….and risks you being put on limited btw.  Apparently mods don't like threads being pushed off on to the second page by floods of what amounts to the same thread duplicated over and over.

Well, that sounds like a worthy cause worth devoting time to.

......nope, I could not keep a straight face.

Yes, something did change.  It turned into the garment video.  It must be a sign 

[MormonFreeThinker]

Why? and why Do you care? It is just a message board, and I am almost done with what I had to say. 

[Calm]

Because it takes time to read threads and I'd rather not have to endure what is basically a repetitions or just a promotion for someone's pet project.,..and I usually can't tell before I've opened the thread and read it.

 

Plus it displaces worthwhile threads on the front page, people forget about them and do not continue to respond if they don't see them.

[MormonFreeThinker]

I was right, religious Buddhists do believe in a pantheistic God, see 1:58 - 2:15

 

He said, "we have a .... God"

Maybe you should extend that to all the threads! 

 

After all, it's just a message board- who cares? 

[halconero]

Depends what school of Buddhism you're talking about. I'd also argue that even theistic Buddhism's version of God or gods are very different concepts than the anthropomorphic Father-God we love and revere.
