People hate Muslims because people did horrible things under their name, people hate Jews because they killed Jesus, People hate Christians because Christians hate everyone, people hate Scientologists because.... Tom Cruise.
AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.
But i'd just like to devote a little time to a religion which i think is really neglected in the hatred side of things.
FUCKING BUDDHISTS.
Them, with their shaved heads and brightly coloured robes... all... meditating and stuff. Being all... selfless. Bastards.
But really, its a very misunderstood religion. Which of course, having done higher RMPS, i understand in great detail. I think the group of christians who teach RMPS at one point got together and realised they should really teach us about something other than just how sexy Jesus is. And Buddhism seemed the least challenging religion.
But just a little pointer, for those who think Buddhism is all 'love thy neighbor'.....
They don't believe in love.
Or souls. And Karma doesn't work how 'My Name is Earl' says it does. And generally, its just as sexist as every other religion.
And look at this fatty?! Does he look like he's striving towards enlightenment?
But, as with any other religion, it means something different to every person. Its very naive to make general statements like 'i hate christians'. There are some lovely christians out there who don't mind women in power, gays, or sex before marriage. They're just quieter than the ones who do mind.
And i don't really hate Buddhism. The Buddha was a cool guy. And he said something which i really think should be in the terms and conditions of every religion
Don't blindly believe what I say. Don't believe me because others convince you of my words. Don't believe anything you see, read, or hear from others, whether of authority, religious teachers or texts. Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.Yeaaaah... thats my spiritualism done for this month.
Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.
Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real. Discover that there are virtuous things and there are non-virtuous things. Once you have discovered for yourself give up the bad and embrace the good.
Your profile pic implies that you love to dive in deep sea of thoughts too:)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I write for the support of Buddhism, because, I know, my mind is scattered and I have to focus it in order to judge whether this man is good or bad observing what he is doing.... I need to meditate to make my mind concentrated and focused. And Buddha showed the proper way to develop this penetrating wisdom through meditation. That's what I am practicing. Hope it is not in your liking lists:)
