I’m not gonna sit here and bash on anyone, I just want to know if people of any religions actually believe their god no matter who it is will punish them for questioning him? I know everyone will just tell me they need to have faith but blind faith doesn’t seem like a good idea, that’s how a cult gets started. It’s ok to believe in God or Allah or Vishnu or Shiva but I’d encourage some one to question it, I think it’s human propaganda that tell you not to question your lord not your lord himself. Although as a buddhist I don’t believe in any god or goddesses, that’s partly why I ask. Open mindedness is something I think should be encouraged, not threatened with hellfire.
I’d like to thank one_angry_wolverine for supplying that verse from the buddhist doctrine because I’ve read it in my studying buddhism and I loved that passage but I only have it in a book and would take forever to type out.
In response to some of the answer I’m not really on a spiritual quest, I’m following the buddhist teachings to help be a good person but I don’t plan on becoming enlightened in this lifetime, I’m not the Buddha. I’ve just never seen anything that compelled me enough to say some divine being created me and is all powerful, although I won’t deny Jesus was a great person worthy of many praise even if I don’t believe the God he followed. And I don’t have a quarrel with any one who does believe in God until they become overbearing, and I know it will rub some people the wrong way but I believe very very firmly in everything scientific because it provides proof that can’t be disproved, and I’ve studdied evolution and think the evidence is more than sufficient to support it, sorry to whom this offends. But I’ll always remain open minded to all proof of anything.

* For Tina Turner music – amzn.to *TURN UP YOUR VOLUME WHEN SHE STARTS CHANTING* Tina Turner showing how Buddhist chanting is done. The Buddhist chants, mutras and mantras can stimulate your organs, cells, atoms, DNA, kundalini, Ida and Pingala nerves; your pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus glands which will bring in sync your mental, physical and spiritual at the same time. She was chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, which is said to mean Devotion To The Law Of The Lotus Flower Scripture. Namu: The words na and mu derive from Sanskrit. A close translation of its meaning is “to devote oneself”. Myoho: Myoho literally means the Mystic Law, and expresses the relationship between the life inherent in the universe and the many different ways this life expresses itself. Myo refers to the very essence of life, the mystic law which is “invisible” and beyond intellectual understanding. Renge: Renge means lotus flower. The lotus blooms and produces seeds at the same time, and thus represents the simultaneity of cause and effect. Kyo: Kyo literally means sutra, the voice or teaching of a Buddha. In this sense, it also means sound, rhythm or vibration. The universal battle on every degree, level, plane, dimension, world and sphere. *Phoenix Online Book Store: Rise From The Mental, Physical & Spiritual Ashes – astore.amazon.com * Improve Your Business & Entrepreneur Skills – bit.ly * Sovereign Tee Apparel: Visual Alchemy – www.cafepress.com * Moorish Brooklyn Blogspot Page …
