    why do u people have such hate for something or for people who believe in it. just let people live there own way of life and stop trying to convert people into your ways, your doing the same thing religion does. your not fixing the problem your just adding more to it in this fucked up world. im not looking for a board fight or anything, just my 2 cents on this topic. guess peace and love only applies to the way u wanna make people think

    For the most part on this board, that is the case. This thread has been alright so far though. There hasn't been as much demeaning of people with different beliefs as the normal thread on this board.

    Oh shit, sorry for talking about history. Alright everyone, let's pack up the truth and put it back in the closet! Get a move on! People are getting offended here...

    :p
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    Man, I just posted some historical facts and was instantly referred to as a crusader... watch, I'll be the one to get banned...

    yes. tis a shame that while sticks and stones may break my bones, words can never hurt me.

    Do you really believe that ???

    I have been far more wounded by words in my life than by sticks and stones. Fallling off (actually, I jumped as the fence approached) a bolting stallion was nothing compared to being accused of racial discrimination.

    how interesting that you speak of peace and love and religion basically in the same sentence. the problem i have with religion besides the faulty premises it purports as truths, is how it has been co-opted for the supposed good and how that inevitably turns into a detriment. so much blood has been shed in the name of religion that it makes it difficult at times to see it as a good thing. my God is better than your God. my God is the one true God. isn't it enough people have faith. when did it turn into a pissing contest?

    peace and love applies to ALL regardless of race religion gender age or nationality.

    i dont know when it turned into a pissing contest and its sad it did. these so called religious people in dc drove me away from religion, i used to go to church when i needed some help in life and faith in life, now i gave up on religion. and i wasnt that much of religious person to begin with. im like u i wish it was enough for people to have faith and for people to not go into false wars based on a god. if i say i go to chruch these days, people think im some bush loving person

    Did you think I was baiting you with that comment? I don't say anything stupider than you and I don't use any harsher language. I just have a world view that most do not share, including the board moderators, so it's easier for people to 'see' that I am the 'childish' one. If you could take a 3rd person perspective and look at your own comments Mets... "I wasn't looking for a fight... I just wanted to talk shit and not get a response." then you cry wolf when you do get a response...

    oh you misunderstand me mets. as an atheist, i wish there was no such thing as religion. but my thinking is if you're gonna do the religion thing one would think it wiser to stick together rather than go in for all that dessension that splits it apart.

    Other than that, I totally agree with all of you.

    I don't know anything about that, but I know that "Buddha" was more than one person, the name is commonly used in reference to Gotama/Gautama Buddha, but the myths refer to many different Buddhas.

    Here we are, as per wikipedia:

    On the night Siddhartha(Gotama/Gautama Buddha) was conceived, Queen Maya dreamt that a white elephant with six white tusks entered her right side, and ten lunar months later Siddhartha was born from her right side
