If you want to learn about something, then you ask questions about it without preconceived notions of it, then you will see it for what it is and not
what you want it to be. If you merely want to ask questions only to further your preconceived opinion, then you will learn nothing, and thus you are
walking in tiny circles.
Our conversation has gone nowhere...
I think having Tupac as your avatar indicates something very negative and superficial about your personality.
And where are you getting the idea that i dont know anything about Buddshism?
A very good friend of my mine is a buddhist. And ive read deeply into it. I personally own a book comparing Judaism to Buddhism (letters to a buddhist
Jew) and i also own many books written by the dalai lama and other buddhist authors. Prior to my discovering Judaism, i was into buddhism, theosophy,
hinduism, Taosim etc - eastern religions.
I know what i dislike about Buddhsim, and ive written fairly lucidly in my earlier posts what that is.
Go look up the word antinomian. I dont think you understand what it means
Antinomian - particularly a term associated with gnosticism, but also meaning
1. One who maintains that, under the gospel dispensation, the moral law is of no use or obligation, but that faith alone is necessary to salvation.
The sect of Antinomians originated with Johannes Agricola, in Germany, about the year 1535.
2. rejecting fixed moral laws: refusing to accept established moral laws that apply to everybody
Understand? Antinomianism is an essential tenet of buddhism. Some fully accept a 'moral law' that is relative, that everyone has their own particular
tastes and distates, and therefore their own peculier gauge of whats right or wrong. Im not saying all buddhism promotes hendonism, or negative
behavior. Different schools, different outlooks. but the point and essence is - ANYONE CAN DO WHATEVER HE PLEASES. Wherever his heart leads him he
goes. Whether that means embracing an antinomianism, or embracing a strict moral code. A buddhist will respect and tolerate people of different views
because the kernal of their philosophy is a moral relativism.
