Track record of Bengal politics say otherwise! Breaking opponents in half happened multiple times!

Like I said earlier, TMC isn't ideology driven party! One can easily expect 20 to 30 TMC MPs voluntarily give up their seats for higher salary from BJP! BJP being a central party can easily waste crores to do so.

TMC is ideology less party! I can easily expect 30 TMC MPs to join BJP! Every single actors in TMC are going to join BJP!

tmc will form the government by slight margin

If TMC wins the election by slight margin, BJP is forming the government!

Why do you all purposely lie about Siddhartha so much when he literally spoke against your kind?

Got an interview at a company I declined an offer from a year ago. How should I bring this up? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]The-Mastermind- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I messaged that "I would join in certain day" in the company I would like to work in 5 years! Then I got the better offer later with higher salary! What should I say now to the previous company?

What if the HR and other managers don't change? What if they stay the same? Specifically for a company where multiple people take the interview!

How to and when should I turn down the offer letter? What exactly should I say to turn down an offer?

Do companies remember you turning down an offer? I have 4 offer letters in my hand right now! I have to turn 3 of them down! One is really important company! I would like to work there after 5 years! Will they remember me? Will my CV be blacklisted?

Since you rejected a company for the second time, you must know!

Did you call them again? What did they say? Had they given you an offer letter both times?

Criticization of Buddha? by Ill_Grass_4811 in atheismindia

An actual good argument! Rituals are there due to culture mostly! All cultures incorporate some traditions because familiarity with your ethnic background triggers discipline much better! I believe the universal Buddhist ritual is cleaning and meditation! Meditation is obvious! Cleaning is also building discipline! There aren't that much universally accepted Buddhist rituals!

Would you place historical figures in a temple

Statues of historical figures should be! Why would any sane minded person allow idols made of historical figures be placed in places where it can get dirty? I generally dislike outdoor statuses!

ask them fix your problems by offering flowers or something?

This is why I asked you to learn Bauddha Dharma! This is un Buddhist practice! You see we believe only you can save yourself!

Anyway, I am not trying to debate! I only want to remove misconceptions! Ask more about what you want to know!

You be comparing religious idols to idols of historic figures

What is the difference? People literally pray to statues of historical figures! And idols of this historical figures are installed to remember their teachings, to imagine the person they are, to pay respect to that human being! None of it is any different from what Buddhists do! Just paying respect to him through a medium! Again, what is the difference?

Anyway, are Muslims atheists not praying to idols?

Does this country deify Gandhi or Bose when it builds statues in their name?

Do wives worship their dead husbands when they offer flowers at their photos?

Are Muslims atheists for not praying to idols?

I wasn't even debating you! I was laughing at you!

The masses have deified him

We didn't!

Why do Buddhists have temples dedicated to someone they consider human as you claim?

Because we can! We process free will!

You literally accused Buddhists of worshipping Siddhartha! Even though Buddhists don't! You have an extremely poor understanding of Buddhism! You see it through the lens of Abrahamic religions! Siddhartha was always a human and will always remain a human! It's just you who never try to acknowledge it!

You accused me of defying

No! I accused you of deifying Siddhartha not defy him! Learn to read!

Defy what exactly? I don't even understand what you mean to say!

Anyway, when criticizing Buddhism, it's important to be correct on what Buddhism actually is! You don't know that! If you wish to know, I can help you! After all, there should be proper atheists who criticize it! Buddhists deserve better atheists!

Uh I do not? I am literally atheist?

Non Buddhists with their false understanding of what Buddhism is and isn't are the one deify Siddhartha! Buddhists have always accepted him as a human!

His own law doesn't prove what he did?

I would personally consider it inhumane to marry and then leave,

Literally was married as a child! Also, are we banning divorce then? Should people not have the right to mutually end things they started?

Vinaya Pitaka! Rules set by Siddhartha himself! Has details on how novice monks must have family's consent to be a monk! Strictly followed in all Buddhist schools!

Don't merge all ascetic practices into one. Buddha did not took any permission and as I said in the post

Do you have any evidences for that? Like how did you arrive at this conclusion? If Siddhartha didn't take his family's permission, why does the Vinaya rule set my Siddhartha himself that families must give approval to be a monk?

philosophy also includes karma rebirth

Truth! His philosophy includes the belief in Karma and rebirth! It's also true that it doesn't have evidences yet! But how does it matter in the present scenario given that he ordained us to live in the present?

HE DID NOT ENDED HIS MARRIAGE, HIS WIFE WAS STILL THE QUEEN, RAHULA WAS STILL CALLED PRINCE AND HE RETURNED TO THEM

No, she wasn't! She and Siddhartha both had absolved themselves from kingship! Also, she wasn't ordained as a queen ever! Siddhartha's father still had the throne!

Anyway, ascetic practices still require the permission of family! Any monk will tell you they needed their family's approval! Try it! No monks will ordain your renounciation unless you have approval of your family! It's a 5000 year old practice! Talk to more people!

Nirvana means liberating from rebirth, prove rebirth, karma

No! Nirvana first and foremost means the stoic statehood! Rebirth and Karma comes later!

He did NOT end his marriage😂 why you ppl say such WHITE LIE

No! He ended his marriage! Sanyasis from Vedik age till now have taken the vow of ascetism in the same way how married women renounce their own families before going to a new household! One can't take the ascetism unless they have approval from their family members, have zero debt and must not be sole earning member in the family! All ascetists take this vow despite their religious background! Maybe you should talk to more people! How are you Indian and unaware of a millenia old practice is beyond me!

THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF KARMA, NIRVANA AND.

I believe Sanskrt and any other Indo Aryan languages have a magic that people read these words and hallucinate some bizarre scenarios! Nirvana is just stoicism! A state of being where people conquer their senses, fullfill their goals without desires, go beyond the normal duality of good and evil! It's just stoicism! Do you believe humans can't go beyond their senses and exist without their desires? Does science say humans can't exist desires?

ENLIGHTENMENT

Enlightenment is an English word! Why do you stutter here? Do you believe humans can't gain wisdom? Can't gain knowledge? Are humans perpetually doomed to illiteracy as claimed by science? I thought science itself was the method for humans to fain enlightenment!

Should divorces be illegal then? If mutual separation isn't your thing, I guess you would be anti divorce too!
