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.

Why do ppl think ur a satan worshiper if u do magic? Just cuz u do magic doesn’t mean u worship the devil, many do magic but believe in the God and Goddess of thier religon. I dont get why ppl make up so many suspisions.

Why do alot of religious people hate Harry Potter? I know the whole magic think is something you dont like, but what about all the other things it teaches? Like loyalty, Honesty, standing up for ur beliefs no matter how scary it is, that it doesnt matter how much money you have that is not what makes u a good person, family and friends are one of the most important things. Also the names of her characters all have some cool meanings, Minerva was the Roman goddess of school children, a teacher at hogwarts, Sirius black turns in to a big black dog, sirius means dog, Remus lupin the werewolf is named after the brother of Romulas(founder of rome) they where both raised by a she-wolf. The books teach children so much, so why hate them? J.k Rowling is the only writer in the history of the world to get literally millions of kids to turn of the tv and read, how can this be a bad thing?
