Any religion can be taken over by the wrong people and perverted, can you say Islam? My premise is that other than that its much better to have God in your life than not it's basically good vs evil. Dosent matter if its Buddha, Alah or whatever its what's right and good.
No and no, but Germany was predominately Christian and Hitler used them to persecute the Jews, with the aid of Italy and dare I say the Catholic church.
Yes, God is good Buddha always referred to himself as a teacher, nothing more,.. Gautama Buddha was born and died a Hindu.
I wrestled with the existance of God like everyone else. What always brings me to the existence of God is there is no other explanation for our existence. Big Bang thats bullshit, how do you have a bang without something to cause it and without the existence of matter. Someone or something had to create the matter and the bang. How does matter and a bang exist where there is nothing? Faith in God is where I am. God is simply whats good and right and we as humans are not meant to know how we came to be other than a belief in a higher power, God.
How does God exist where there is nothing? If all matter and energy needs a creator, doesn't the creator need a creator. I know, this is a metaphysical argument that goes in circles. It has not been solved on this forum yet. The human mind knows no bounds when it comes to the quest for knowledge. What is good and right exists without a God. It is human nature. Just as wrong and evil exists without a Devil. We need a name for those ideals so we call them God and Devil and we build a society around that. And every culture has a different religion and laws built around their concept of right and wrong. Whether it is a God or Godless society, they all kill on those beliefs.
I've studied human physiology some. When you break a bone it heals, but there is an over build up of bone material, the body makes little critters that cruise the surface, eating away the bone until it's back to a normal shape,.. how do those critters know what to do, when to stop? The human egg is an independent unit, it's not connected to a brain or nervous system, yet there is an intelligence there. When a sperm penetrates the egg a chemical is released that switches the eggs electrical polarity, instantly repelling all other sperms,.. with no brain, how does the egg know to do this as well as thousands of other things? You get deeper in, ever tinier, to the cells components, and the components of those components,.. sophisticated things happen, chemicals are made, amazing changes occur, proteins split and migrate,.. how? why? it always comes down to,.. the cell or whatever just knows, It has self identity,.. the red blood cell knows what it is, what to do, where to go, it has self determination,.. it is conscious, that spark of life, it is in everything, atoms, electrons, quarks,.. god is everywhere.
