That we should consider death early or face despair and insanity in old age.

I'm considering death early and facing such much earlier than I would if I just did the usual shit that people do and never think about it until they hit 60 or so.

Proof that buddhism is also a crock of shit.

All religion is a "crock of shit."

[Inu_Ranma]

Buddhism as a whole isn't a religion.

I don't believe in god, Budha, or any of that crap.

I do believe that something happens to us when we die. Maybe decomposers that tear up our body die in the grass and cows eat us and then we turn into cow sperm and come out as cows?

Who knows.

Seriously Shim, if you're swearing about Buddhism is that you know nothing about it. And why worry about death? Geez. Read this:

Although with the emanation of these consciousnesses there is a division into "departments", they are all based upon mental discrimination. The eight consciousnesses are still basically one. To use an analogy, let us think of a room with seven light bulbs. You flick the light switch and seven distinct lights shine. Turn the switch to "off" and the lights disappear. Yet there is just one electric current, and its source is comparable to the storehouse consciousness, or, more fundamentally, the enlightened mind.

Death is like the severing of wires or a break in the switch so that the lights go out. Yet the electricity is unharmed. The generator is still generating and the electricity flows wherever the circuit is not broken.


Now think if it all ends when you finally go. Sure, these are all words, but seriously, are we really made to end like this?

EDIT: Never mind what I said about Buddhist perverts, I misunderstood those phrases

Is athiesm a religion?

I don't really count it as a religion, but a belief.

I read tons about it when I was desperately seeking for a purpose to life 4 months ago. I didn't find one.

You will never find a proper religion. They are all bullshit.

I mean they say that god flooded the earth and made it rain for 40 days. Well, that is not physically possibly. And it is impossible that Noa went around the world, collected a male and female of every animal on the planet, put them on a boat, and lived while everything else on the planet drowned. Just think about it, it couldn't happen.

You do realise the meaning of "God", right? *sigh*
God isn't subject to time or the physical boundaries. :B
