Sarcasm is dead.

In an air of open, respectful debate - let's chat! I think you're agenda to attack "fantasy" is making you less objective.

Truth exists within "attachment is the root of evil". A man putting "an axe in your head" has motivations. Perhaps the axe murderer was attached to money. Therefore, he killed and robbed you.

In seeking "reality" you should read up on quantum physics, specifically space/time. It'll bring into question your notion of reality. Be wary of fixating on literal interpretations.

Do more research.

I like that you are sharing your views..but the dharma is essentially the same as the ten commandments..and Buddhist meditation the same as christian contemplation..and remember that when the two become one you shall enter the kingdom of heaven..Jesus wants you to discover your soul and meditating is a great way to meet it right now..the person you think you are is worldly and sinful..but not your true self which is just under the surface of the ego.. My advice would be to stay with Christianit

Buddhism is the only religion that makes sense. I have been enlightened deeply by it.

I don't call myself a Buddhist, and I don't care about what the religion says, but I do believe that God is everything, and I believe in reincarnation, and Karma, and you don't need to be religious to believe that at all. It's basic science. Buddha never claimed to be a God, he was only trying to relieve suffering, and in case you haven't noticed, Christianity says pretty much the same thing about desire and the devil.

@danjrael1 I agree with that. Very wise indeed. Thank you. :)

@danjrael1 Well put and funny, I like and will probably use your menu statement with some of the people I study with. :)

A 13 year old boy with a thesaurus, a webcam and no knowledge of anything other than what his parents taught him to believe. There is a display of closed minded hostility in your words.........well love to you.
