I ask this question because well, the general view is that Buddhism is an Atheist religion but Buddhists believe in Heaven & Hell
To me the notion is ridiculous - if you are not going to believe in an entity where there is no existence of any such, well there is no evidence of Heaven and Hell...
I grew up Hindu but I am not sure if there is any evidence for Reincarnation
To me, it is but an idea
Ancient Hindus wondered why any being would keep billions of people in cozy comfort without any benefit to himself
And then they looked down at their pets, their Dogs and went Aha!

The...
Sad, really that in the 21st century, damsels in distress hoping for a knight in Shining armor is going to come "any day now" to Save them!
A quick wave of his magic wand and all our problems will be solved!
When did we become these helpless damsels?
There is no evidence for God, Heaven & Hell or Reincarnation
These are IDEAS - people trying to make sense of the world around them
Heaven is the idea that we can run away from REAL LIFE & leave all our problems behind
That is what George Bailey of the "It's a Wonderful life" fame was going to...
Who started this present war? Honest answer please
There are no Jews in Palestine - but plenty of Palestinians and Arabs live and work in Israel
And they being subject to genocide?
Who keeps launching deadly missiles into Israel?
Who elected Hamas - a Known terrorist organization - to power...
Well this thread seems to be doing very well - 4 pages so far
Do my questions bother you? Do you believe in Heaven? Is that the problem?
Do you have any answers to my questions?
All I was asking was for some respect for my views - you didn't have to come at me like that
you misunderstood the point I was making about dogs - I am a dog lover myself but I look at life from THEIR viewpoint
and it is not a pleasant life
WE use them for our pleasure, benefit - it was not a...
There could be invisible aliens looking down on us or invisible dragons the size of earth looking down on us
One can make up anything - how about the tooth fairy, leprechauns, big foot etc?
One can claim anything - if you went to a party and someone accuses you of stealing something that never...
That is why I ask questions - even simple questions like - what does one DO in Heaven?
Can you describe a DAY? ONE DAY? With DETAILS, please
Trip them up! It is the asking for DETAILS that gets them!
yes we agree that REAL LIFE is not easy
Nothing here is Free nor Given
But THIS is the world that God created for us, for you
You are finding fault with HIS WORK?
God gets an F from you?
You have a right to dislike His work, you will no longer be born as a human being
But to think you can run...
you seem to miss the point of the question - just blindly replying to a sentence or a post
.
the point is - how can one be enjoying heaven while our loved ones are suffering on earth?
Can a Father or Mother be enjoying heaven while his/her family is homeless, kids going to bed hungry, their...
"At least three times I have asked you to look up “symbiotic relationship”" STOP TALKING DOWN TO ME!
I know what it is - no need to look it up
The relationship STARTED as a symbiotic relationship - they were thrown some food and they kept guard at night
Still happens with feral dogs in India
The...
Theists can't get past the idea of Heaven - the easy lazy life - that is what they are after
And so desperately cling to the notion of a magic, miracle man
The knight in shining armor will come to SAVE his damsels in distress and then easy lazy living forever In Heaven!
.
They talk of God being...
Damsels in distress hoping for the knight in shining armor will come SAVE them, GIVE them the easy good life
OR
They get to go to some magic land in the sky & a Sugar Daddy God will SAVE them, GIVE them the easy good life!
Sorry, no such Knight in Shining armor is coming to save us
WE are not...
