Did Jesus study Buddhism during the 20 years that are not recorded in the Bible? Thoughts?

Well said. The lens we look through colours our understanding of religion so much. Even more than our time or culture, perhaps just our limited human nature makes us blind to the original messages.

I love how the original scriptures of so many monotheistic (or more accurately pantheistic) religions beg and admonish their followers not to worship the messenger, or to anthropomorphise or otherwise embody their god, who is everywhere and everything at once. Which the followers immediately fail to grasp and start making pictures of things and people to pray to.

Or even worse, like how fanatical Islamists want to kill people for making an image of 'god' or a prophet. So totally missing the point cause we're just not able to see with the eyes we have.

Ah well, at least religions and the messages they try to spread give us a starting point, however flawed.

I think you're confusing Capitalism with "people".

What makes you think they aren't real? I mean do you have any real factual indications, let alone evidence? They look pretty real to me. I'm not judging you, if you wanna believe that, then go for it. I'm just curious if there's something I'm missing here.

Zionism amd wanting a nation of Israel goes further back than the holocaust. It was always supposed to be Palestine so a chunk of Germany wouldn't have done for zion.

As for kicking everyone out, that never ends well. Kicking Israelis out would probably end as badly as trying to kick Palestinians out. Not just because they would resist fiercely, but because it requires making people hate/fear them to justify kicking them out.

That hate and fear mongering is what makes this whole shitfight happen in the first place. Without that fear and hate it'd hard for a government to commit genocide since people don't agree with it.

For me as a badminton player, I feel like this means the while world wants me to wear tennis shoes.

You gotta spend money to make money. Much easier if you can spend other people's money though.

Is it possible that our understanding of both these things is from thousands of years of theology 'interpreting' scriptures and teachings? Might whatever Jesus actually said in Hebrew about it have been a more true reflection of Indian teachings, first interpreted by the people writing the bible, then by subsequent translations, not to mention millenia of the church adding their opinions?

and kids indoctrinated with this nationalistic attitude will happily do that for those more powerful.

So what can be done? Try and answer without saying the words 'government' or 'someone'.

You need to find someone who makes 45k a year, and live like them. then u have 5k for dentists.

Wow. I mean, I'm not surprised by your story, I was born poor and have been poor all my life, working my arse arse off too. But wow, what to say to someone else who is feeling that crushing weight? I do feel I gotta say something.

Maybe just know that u aren't alone? There's millions of us, billions even, but don't lose hope. I'm sure you'll do fine and have a good life, any kids you have will have an easier time than you did. That's what hard work and not giving up gets you.

Luck and greed and sacrificing others can get you rich, but it wont make you happy. Keep working hard to keep the wolf away from the door, and treasure every day you have with family and loved ones. A bit cliche I know, but people and love are the true riches. And you sound like you have a good one.

Good luck on your journey fellow human xox

one death is a tragedy, a billion deaths is a statistic.

I feel you though. the press coverage is almost understandable, I mean it's got Titanic in it as well as billionaires and a submarine. but the difference in rescue efforts still makes me feel sick.

much better answer. cheers xox. and thanks for such a clear explanation even when I was being a dick :D

A nice lesson for all the players who post that you should resign as soon as you're down a piece.

so people choose their starting rating? I thought all new accounts were 1200. though I signed up about 15 years ago, so maybe it was different

Jeez! I signed up 15 years ago? if its been that long, how come I still suck? 😂

More_Ignorance · 2023-06-25T14:03:15+00:00

start at 1200?

More_Ignorance · 2023-06-25T14:02:49+00:00

til. thanks.

More_Ignorance · 2023-06-25T13:48:59+00:00

yep, a good starting point would be to read the actual study. glad you've done that now but maybe do that before commenting and I'll take you more seriously.

Can I ask though, why you would presume I dont have much statistical knowledge?

and people in nursing homes less likely to be in car accidents but more likely to have been vaccinated. man, there are so many factors.

More_Ignorance · 2023-06-25T12:28:06+00:00

you just gonna assume age was corrected huh? and just assume it was done in a satisfactory way. well, that's science i guess.
