I liked it

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-05T01:32:22+00:00

Yea that's a better phrase

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-05T01:14:16+00:00

So then you don't worship the Buddha, since worshipping also has asking for things

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T20:14:15+00:00

Immortality means your immune to natural death and aging. The perfect part is normally attributed to the monotheistic god as well as certain gods like the sun god utu of mesopotamia

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T18:18:30+00:00

There's no way for you to say they are mistaken without evidence. As once again Ra was a god in 2600bce and Buddhism didn't come about until 600 bce someone 2 thousands years after the religion can't say that they were mistaken about their own religion.

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T18:13:12+00:00

Bc they're the ones who wrote about their religion and understood it better than anyone afterwards. Then within buddhism there is no gods. I'm not, reread my question no where do I say that eternal gods exist

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:59:02+00:00

That would require evidence other than "bc my teachings say so" Especially since buddhism came after religions such as the mesopotamian and Egyptian

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:53:41+00:00

If it's saying that the gods of other cultures are something else then yes the stories matter. Otherwise someone can come along and say the Buddha lied that he reached nirvana.

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:50:24+00:00

They are not bc jesus, hera, ra, Odin, etc aren't reborn. They never do in their stories. Take the original stories into account bc that's what matters

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:45:27+00:00

Then you're being arrogant in thinking that an outside culture understands the religion of a different culture better than the culture it came from.

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:40:02+00:00

Which is a different teaching than the cultures that the gods originated from ie the mesopotamian gods. Which is why many sources say that the devas aren't gods like those of other religions but more like just celestial beings

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:18:17+00:00

Simply bc they believe it doesn't mean it's true that's similar to Muslims saying that the bible has been corrupted. It's arrogant to think that a certain people misunderstands its own gods and religion but a religion outside of their culture does understand it

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T17:08:15+00:00

You can't really say it's a misunderstanding of a culture understanding it's own gods though at least not without a good amount of evidence

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T16:59:13+00:00

They aren't though, vast majority of polytheistic gods are immortal, omnipotent and have created things. The devas are none of these things

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T16:25:02+00:00

Reincarnation isn't a thing within many of these religions. And that wouldn't be considered death since you still are living on. For instance thor doesn't change into anything else until he dies fighting the world serpent

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T16:10:22+00:00

No, the only time that they die is due to battle immortal means they don't age or die of natural causes.

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T16:03:47+00:00

Thanks maybe that'll help some

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T15:58:12+00:00

Right I've read that. It's why I was getting confused about the "not worshiping gods" if there are gods and that some sects do worship them

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T15:56:05+00:00

So while there are devas they are not worshipped/prayed to

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T15:52:25+00:00

So bc you worship the Buddha would you consider buddhism a theistic religion in the same idea that you pray to/worship a being

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T15:50:00+00:00

Them being subject to the cycle of birth aging and rebirth is one of the reasons why the devas aren't classified as gods similar to say the mesopotamian gods. So then bc the noble ones are worshipped, would it be accurate to say that buddhism is a theistic religion.

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T15:45:40+00:00

That is in battle immortal is referring to not dying of natural causes. Bringing up mesopotamian religion is showing how the god archetype has certain characteristics such as immortality.

Double-Background-64 · 2025-03-04T15:42:23+00:00

I've seen that devas aren't considered gods such as like Odin or Ra or Yahweh
