*yawn* .. enuff of your goddammed preaching lah.Originally posted by happyharvest:Maybe but I dun care. Ppl who knows a lot of the scripture does not make him/her a child of God. Even satan and his carhoot knows the scripture well, I bet but though seeing, do not see; though hearing, do not hear or understand...

one of the teaching in buddhism isOriginally posted by Icemoon:not so.
but I bet relatively, a higher % of pple worshipping in a church knows more about their Scripture than the pple worshipping in a temple about their sutra.
You want to prove me wrong on this?
Sorry, I can't recognise a joke and that is not funny, yea?Originally posted by Icemoon:cool down my friend. you should recognise a joke when you see it. no hard feelings yea?
but my argument with crazy monkey is not a joke. that guy mis-interpreted my statements and mis-contrue my position.
wow .. someone here showing off what he knows about "one of the teaching in Buddhism".Originally posted by No_Problemo:one of the teaching in buddhism is
not to show off.
not to pretend know everything.
not to tell people they are doing something wrong when you know nothing.
Are you joking? You want to talk serious thing [about theology] in this crappy secular forum?Originally posted by happyharvest:Talk to you serious thing and you tell a joke ...
Paisey, children should leave adult affairs aside. I'm a small little kid who is now learning ABC and you bully me.
Adult affairs so complicated. Shun you shun you shun shun you.
cut your crap and fark off lah. dont deny this and thatOriginally posted by Icemoon:wow .. someone here showing off what he knows about "one of the teaching in Buddhism".Thanks hor .. you just added to my knowledge today.
To say a fair word here .. many of those ex Buddhists who converted to xtianity must be 'cos they know nothing about Buddhism. Much as they might not pretend to know everything, the fact is they might know nothing about [the gist] of Buddhism.![]()
deny what? On the other hand, I urge you not to assert this and that and mis-contrue my position.Originally posted by No_Problemo:cut your crap and fark off lah. dont deny this and that
mis-contrue your position as what? liarOriginally posted by Icemoon:deny what? On the other hand, I urge you not to assert this and that and mis-contrue my position.
Buddhism got teach dun anyhow scold vulgarities?![]()
Are you kidding? Using the word of God to joke? It is okay to joke with sometimes but there is a limit. And your joke is too far off from respecting God's word. You even deny being a christian. I beginning to wonder are you really a christian or you juz put it to shoot your opornent back?Originally posted by Icemoon:Are you joking?

my position has been that many so called Buddhists and Taoists do not really understand their religion. To them, it is mostly about rites and rituals and the usual religious ideas like doing good works and be compassionate (which religion doesn't teach u that?). They're not truly acquainted with the sutras, perhaps as a result of spending not enuff time in the Dharma and immersing yourself in the Sangha. To them, superstitious rituals like worshipping in Kuan Yin Temple is more important than the study of sutra and attending talks in the Dharma.Originally posted by No_Problemo:mis-contrue your position as what? liar

As a result, some convert. Like what the interviewed youth on ST said, xtianity appeals 'cos it is more rational and logical.
In short, you are either very acquainted or not acquainted enuff in Buddhism or Taoism that's why you convert. Sad to say, these people belong mostly to the former.
It is unfortunate that forummers like crazy monkey mis-contrue my position. Apologies here if I confuse some of you.
Its the thought that counts. Regardless of what I build.Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:Well, let's say you love your dad alot, and he has been with you all the time.

1. Build a Pig Sty in honour of him
or
2. Build a Palace, of which the finances is from him in the first place![]()

You are also right.Originally posted by Icemoon:not so.

Haha typical trait of a siao on christian, they dunno they hurt other religions feeling...Originally posted by crazy monkey:you say you dun look down and generalise but you are already doing so.
I thought a bhuddhist was just somebody who believes in the teachings of Gautama Bhuddha?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:You are also right.
actually, just want to say, if a buddhist attend dharma centre/dharma talks, then they will also know about the sutras/teachings.
but the problem is. lots of ppl self-claimed/bai4 bai4 buddhist. they are not real buddhist who take refuge in three treasures, seek and practise the dharma. neither do they go dharma centres.. so in the first place they are not buddhists.
so hopefully, in future more people will look into the buddhist teachings
but as laurence82 always said, quality over quantity. Buddhism doesnt seek to quantify followers quickly. aggresive preaching and evangelism seems foreign to buddhism, even though the teachings has spread around the world.
Typical traits of a siao on christian... They will not listen to others as their god lan jiao is the most tua ki in the whole world.Originally posted by No_Problemo:cut your crap and fark off lah. dont deny this and that
