Evil and Christians

[Gary Childress]

If I don't worship God, don't go to church, and don't see life as a sacred gift from God, am I "evil?" Am I essentially an agent of Lucifer or else a sympathizer with the ways of Lucifer? Will I only spread evil and curse others if I influence them? And if I am "evil", is there really any reason for me to live that is unselfish? Would the world not be a more "good" place without me in it?

Or.

If I start going to church, reading the Bible, and changing my ways, will I then be acceptable to Christians to live in this world with them?

Or

Should I move somewhere that most people won't be offended by my presence?

will you allow them to choose yours?

You should enquire about the stupidity of Evil, and Bullshit.
Or, Evil and stupidity.

Just stop the bullshit.

You should enquire about the stupidity of Evil, and Bullshit.

Why? So I can believe what you believe?

Bullshit answer.
I told you it's not about believe.
No rationality.

Why do you keep posting responses to me?

[Walker]

You can't help yourself, Gary.
You can't choose.

You have to bullshit.

Take it up with IC ...

He's either choosing to coddle you, or he must because of Christianity.

[Walker]

Why do you keep posting responses to me?

Why must you be responded to?

[Gary Childress]

Why do you keep posting responses to me?

Why must you be responded to?

You'll have to tell me.

If you need a personal teacher to understand, this isn't the place.

Join a choir.

If only I could be as wise as Walker. Then I could use all kinds of Buddhist words as though I knew anything about Buddhism.

[Walker]

I know that you believe life is only suffering,
and you think your suffering special. Unique.

and I know that Buddha used suffering as a teaching tool to explain the nature of mind,

because everyone knows about suffering.

You need no more details than that to get started in your own correct understanding of Buddhism,

beginning with

The Purpose of Buddhism is to understand the nature of mind.

The way I see it, Gary is playing his hand of cards in a way that reveals what other players have and don't have.

[Walker]

Devil's Advocate.
Inherently dishonest. It's even in the name.



Now that his question was answered ... bullshit sure to follow.
(it's his crutch)
