I think BWB will have more attention because of Atheism forumOriginally posted by Herzog_Zwei:And thus less moderation needed in BWB.
Anyway a sidenote, I haven't had a need to exercise my moderation power in this forum (edit posts, close topics) for several months. -
one of the most logical explanation i've come across!Originally posted by longchen:Just an opinion...
Most people are wholly engaged in symbols and concepts. Atheists are also engaged in the symbolisms associated with 'prove' , 'evidence', 'science' and so on and so forth. I believe January is an engineering or science students if i am not wrong.
The problem is... when we engage in discussions, we also need to use symbols and concepts. So what happened is that, symbolism is actually re-inforced in the discusssion process. Therefore, it is very difficult to convince another.... because the conceptual/symbolic realm is not the place to find the answer.

yes...Just like Buddha told his followers that debates about the existence of God are futile and in the end will only take them away from concentrating on more important issues.Originally posted by yamizi:Agree with laoda99.
I believe there are a few threads showing the scientific evidence of rebirth, although I don't agree to all of those.
However I believe Lord Buddha would rather us spending time in comprehending His words and living it.
And yes, Omniknight is right that we shouldn't dwell too much in rebirth. It's our actions, speech and thoughts that in the present and now matters the most.
Personally I think Lord Buddha would like people to believe in His teachings as in a way to improve one's quality of life and one's spirituality, rather than debating over the credibility of the scientific evidence on rebirth.
Science probably evolved because we need to improve our problem solving abilities and pass on knowledge, learnt during the problem solving process, to other generations. -

I think this is because the concept of a "God" profess to offer people an avenue to rid themselves of Dukkha without the need to go through the trouble of cultivating oneself. Its a shortcut of sorts, like a backdoor approach to ending sufferings.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Yet the topic of God is sooo popular and debates are endless

Your moderation of my posting in the metta chatbox thread. Technically, it is a valid point of discussion, although unorthodox.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:I don't understand what you mean by 'force indoctrination'.
Your insistance that rebirth is an actual reality while it is still not a proven fact thus concluding that it is a true experience of all human lives. -
