God the Father does not want the defeat of the living

yeah when you find the treasures within, you can not care if some crab people want to be near you or not. if you are happy inside, the opinion or presence of those captured people who deny themselves their spiritual birthright so that their boss makes more money is meaningless. people who need entertainment to be happy are retarded, they don't know about the treasure within. not blind but trained to close their eyes at the best thing there is to see.

There is strength to be found in Christianity but not in Buddhism. Buddhism (and Hinduism) are coordinated efforts to keep 3 billion people eating bugs while believing it wrong to complain about it. The appeals to the meek in the Bible would be the only writings at all compatible with Buddhism so the combination would just be a worst of both worlds. It would be the religion of someone who lets someone push him to the ground, then whines about it to God, and then stays there forever because he believes the pusher was of a higher caste delivering holy command onto him. It would be a religion of forgoing not only your sword, but your shield too.

i don't think you differentiate between the core teachings of a religion and the contemporary institutional interpretation of it.

when someone tells you he is a christian, that tells you not a single thing.

>there are christians who follow the teaching of jesus christ (forgiveness, sharing, caring, peace, giving people chances), they are trying to practice the religion in the way that i assume is what has been drawing people to it originally.
>there are people who say they are christians and believe bombing another country is ok because they were beaten into believing the end justifies the means.
>there are people who say they are christians who are lonely, they just low effort cosplay as christians to meet people at church.
>there are people who say they are christians but only because everyone around them is and they will forever just imitate the people around them because they are not in the habit of doing their own thinking.
>there are disgraceful people who say they are christians who just want other people to respect them even though no sane person would respect them, if they knew them.
>there are people who say they are christians who lay awake at night worrying about other people taken their ill-gotten gains away from them.
>there are people who say they are christians who only exist to fool, exploit, control and enslave others.
>there are people who say they are christians who rape others.
>there are people who say they are christians who rape children.

so when some dude tells me he is a christian, which of the few archetypes i listed does he mean? if any. what am i to assume? is the person actually learning the original christian values or are they learning property through violence and manipulation while using the wholesome parts of the christian ideology as virtue signaling to paint over the cruelty of debt-based economic reality? probably just some cruel person or maybe a lost person. as i type this i very much notice i sound like i believe man is born sinful, which i don't believe, because it assumes people don't have control over themselves even though they want to. people choose their actions and then seek for ways to not be responsible for them.

tldr. christianity doesn't mean anything. it is just a stage, it is usually bent to express whatever is currently desired.

i've been interested in judianity a bit but i don't think i understand much of it. i thought jews were smart and i liked their art but not anymore. i have such a disdain for theater and illusion and from what i gather, judianity is just theater on all levels from the micro to the macro.

living as a delusional person usually leads to an even worse psychological health. it's better to face the reality of envy and powerlessness.

how truly bleak modern times are getting can easily be tracked by the latest surge of interest in religion especially in the last decade. everyone is so hopeless, as a last result they go back to methods they for a fact know it doesn't work.

That's just Gnostic Christianity, which lost out to the more traditionally Abrahamic Orthodox Christianity back in the 2nd and 3rd century.

i don't think you thought this through all the way. i don't feel envy and powerless. i have my moments in which i feel the bleakness but in general i don't dwell on it and every second that i don't, there is less reason to be envious.

just because you don't have a private plane and a personal army does not mean your life can't be awesome.

i just learned how to make grayscale pictures into a regionmap for sim city 4, obviously i am quite powerful…

It don't matter, aint none of this matter.

Fundamentally incomparable.
They believe totally separate metaphysical things and have totally different goals and only tiny overlap in values.

there is the idea that all religions try to point at the same feeling and there is not just one way to access this feeling.

they approach the feeling from different points, use different words and concepts to describe it but they have in common the desire to connect people to the source.

when i was in a poor part of india, the people did not speak my language or know my memes or share my priorities but i witnessed in them a deep connectedness that at times i have felt myself.

This isn't new. I'm Christian and Buddhist. In Japan it's very regular for Christians to be Buddhists also

That idea is wrong and said in ignorance.

how about some substance to your post.

>>314919
It got the amount of substance it deserves.
Especially when every time you in particular pop off about a topic it's just to argue and maximize attention, rather than coherently discuss anything.

If you are going to go out of your way to format all your post a certain way to be more recognizable that comes with the drawback of people catching on to your nonsense and thus knowing exactly what to expect from you. Which in your case is not much.

>It got the amount of substance it deserves.
no, you don't have any substance and at this point i call your gender into question.

>Especially when every time you in particular pop off about a topic it's just to argue and maximize attention, rather than coherently discuss anything.

pop off, attention? that's exactly what a 14 year old female would focus on. you are but a decorated mirror, animated by the attention of other.

>If you are going to go out of your way to format all your post a certain way to be more recognizable that comes with the drawback of people catching on to your nonsense and thus knowing exactly what to expect from you. Which in your case is not much.

that's you trying you hardest to resist your training to call it "reddit spacing".

you are a substanceless person, your opinions are not your own, you don't use your head for thinking, you use your head to observe what others are doing and imitate it or condemn it but you don't bother to understand it so when you communicate, you are limited to a low level of perception that to me is so low, it is not even worth discussing. but it is all you have. so there is the problem that what you consider worth mentioning, is not interesting enough for me to read.

i already try to write so that limited people such as yourself have an easier time understanding but i am not gonna pretend that your empty, relative words pass the bar just to calm your female emotions. either include substance or be disregarded. you seem like you are too tired to get into substance and i am not gonna treat you like you are a person of substance. it's clear to me that you have resigned yourself to seek conflict in order to get noticed; which is the social strategy of the ugly and the incompetent.

The sun is pointless to worship.

I enjoy the sun, but it's only a sign of a true transcendence. It is not "THE" God

Christians are pathetic.

>>317109
The only thing pathetic is your faggot crab ass on this forum, we all are pathetic here, otherwise we would have never been on this forum to begin with

>>317110
No, this is not a forum for pathetic losers. It is a forum for wizards - adult men who choose to remain virgins. If that makes us pathetic in your eyes, then you're the faggot.

>>317115
>>317112
If you have a true choice in the matter, then yes, as a principle someone sticking to it shows willpower and resilience.

But for a far balding geek who couldn't even match a transgender dwarf on Tinder let alone talk to succubi, it isn't like they're "choosing" to be virgins.

And for every tall handsome Bruce Wayne who has his life together but abstains from sex, there are at least a million fat weird neckbeards who are virgins simply because succubi find them disgusting.

And the latter type to me isn't wizardly in any way.

I'm an ugly, short guy but at least I try to maintain hygiene and feed myself through honest work. I've never tested if my virginity is voluntary, but based on my previous life experiences with succubi, I'm pretty sure not a single one of them in this country would have sex with me.

Theres a name for that, its Gnosticism, or atleast Christian Gnosticism since theres many forms of it.
However, the fundamental beliefs of buddhism and gnosticism, which is rejection of the material world, its god(s), and an afterlife, that enlightenment would be above all of it, are entirely incompatible with Christian theology. The gnostics say Christ came to the world to teach enlightenment to the world to free us from the demiurge (god).
Its mostly a dead religion that attracts a few /x/ schizos here and there, and theres a lot of theological holes in its teachings. I don't like gnosticism personally but its an interesting concept, and buddhism and gnosticism have a really interesting aesthetic in a modern context.
