Buddha gave up the enlightened god-state in order to return to the world to help others try do the same

Ya well, you can always argue selfless people are really being selfish

depends on context

well, think about it for a second

You can be selfishly selfless

two true statements: 1)Hardest thing is to watch the one you love, love another. 2) Love is running into a buring buildning withno thought to yourself

Just me that finds it odd how much women like horses

@HunDread And here’s where you get into the weeds. There’s a bunch of different Buddhist sects that differ on this stuff.

Yes

these are contradictory at first glance

Is it a sexual dominance thing

@Scale_e there's always different sects that focus on different specifics

BUT no if you consider that when you love someone, they become apart of you

so the thought of losing them is like asking you to disconeect an arm or a foot

I just find it sad that the only differences mentioned in Christian sects are fundamentally methodological in terms of the rituals happening in the Church as a building.

most of us would rather be dead that cut off a limb

thus, love is the most self-ISH

Or whether all or only some of the apostles are given due attention.

This exists

Religions can break themselves because of the many individuals that contributed to building them.

It's the entire wizard of Oz sorry

Story

In juggalo form

It's the worst and the best

religions like rules aren't for those at the center; they are for containing the firnges

Not necessarily @ManAnimal

@HunDread

but like any rules, they ONLY work to do so if everyone follows them

A whole lot of fuckers breaking them rules.

those along the center are usually smart enough to break rule without problems

yayayyayay

but that isn't the point

the point is to contain the outliers

and exterminate

Most people are closer to the center.

no church or religion?

crazy left that we can't contain

Sin is forgiven provided you go to church

So people sin like crazy.

THEY need religion

Because their mentality is focused only upon that, and it continues to fuel itself.
