Budda, as I understand it, focused on finding wisdom and happiness through enlightenment.

Proving Human Worth: The Atheists Problem - JeffB MU - 10/12 16:37:46
     That is Bullsht, sorry - raskolnikov MU - 10/12 18:57:12
          A few thoughts in response... - JeffB MU - 10/12 20:38:00

                         Christianity has the truth because.. you know the bible - TigerMatt STL - 10/13 02:05:02
                              No. See my answer to rask above: - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:20:32
                              Precisely(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 10/13 08:03:59
               How pathetic and how arrogant - meatiger MU - 10/12 22:02:51
                    The question on the table is whether it would be logical to - JeffB MU - 10/12 22:29:12
                         Because I mostly do not care - meatiger MU - 10/12 22:46:44
                              yet they value each others lives and work together as a comm - JeffB MU - 10/12 23:35:38
                                   The history of religion is written in blood. Look at - TigerMatt STL - 10/13 00:01:07
                                        That is a very simplistic view of religion and does not - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:19:10
                              Another point - meatiger MU - 10/12 22:54:18
                                   Again, it all boils down to 'What is the truth'? - JeffB MU - 10/12 23:41:49
                                        Your religion uses fear - meatiger MU - 10/13 01:51:56
                                             That is a gross distortion of the truth. It is true that - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:31:04

               Your last paragraph applies exactly the same for - GA Tiger MU - 10/12 20:45:15
                    The same way Westboro Baptist did - tigerinhogtown STL - 10/12 20:48:04

                              He could destroy the universe, but not eternity'. He is - JeffB MU - 10/12 22:13:20
                                   How contradictory. Second death is eternal separation - TigerMatt STL - 10/12 22:33:48
                                        and your evidence that souls just disintegrate into nothingn - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:49:55
                                   I just do NOT get Dualism, sorry - raskolnikov MU - 10/12 22:32:32
                              Destruction of the soul is not an uncommon belief - TigerMatt STL - 10/12 20:16:11

                    So there is no intention to the creation - tigerinhogtown STL - 10/12 19:46:00
                    That is all very poetic and romantic - Preacher UMKC - 10/12 19:32:46

                                                                      Difference between science and religion though - TigerMatt STL - 10/12 20:52:37
                                                                           If religion resists testing new ideas, why has it evolved - tigerinhogtown STL - 10/12 21:01:24

                         God is! Why does God have to have an origin?.... - STL1DFW STL - 10/12 19:39:42
                              That makes sense. But why should that - GA Tiger MU - 10/12 20:03:10

                                             Science cant prove that - tigerinhogtown STL - 10/12 20:21:49
                                                  Actually it can because the laws we know - TigerMatt STL - 10/12 20:23:21
