What does cranial shape have to do with this discussion?

What does cranial shape have to do with being Jewish?

What are you talking about. You quoted me claiming it was your own. Stop the incessant badgering about double standards. You plagiarized my post.

Do you know what Phrenology is? In general that pseudoscience was used to classify race to determine superiority of a given race.

What does this have to do with the OP?

I just want to stop any racial/bigotry that may occur in this thread. Perhaps I was overreacting.

I see a hint of racism in your post.

You took the liberty to post what I said without giving me credit as if this is your own? Plagiarism! Here is the link to my post. http://thetaobums.com/topic/32820-debunking-a-creator/page-19#entry502404

How long will this thread take to resolve? Never, as long as Buddhists state their absolutist fundamental ideology based on circular reasoning. That is one reason why I left the Buddhist trip.

The Kabbalists use the term Ein-sof which means totality which is unexplainable. Kabbalists such as Abraham Abulafia et al. Not New Age types.

Humans are incapable of absolute understanding of totality. This thread affirms that.

Paradoxical reasoning.

You started this thread so why not 'man up' and take the criticism like a man as opposed to acting like a victim. You Buddhists can certainly dish it out but when Buddhism is scrutinized, you can't handle it.

What is your point? Are you feeling that some of us are singling out Buddhism for special judgement? Furthermore, to bring in outside topics is derailing and qualifies as a logical fallacy.

Yes. There was already a position that beings in divine realms dictate the nature of Buddhist discourse according to absolute rules.

I was judging how you posit absolutes in terms of language.

I appreciate your honesty which is rare in these type of discussions.

I about fell out of my chair when I read that. Just more faith based religion.

What I see here are statements in regards to beings from divine realms commanding adherence to absolute rules for teaching/transmission. Can that be proven, or is the belief in such, blind faith? Can a rational discourse such as what Buddhists insist on prove the existence of a divine realm that Buddhists defer to without question? Are the so called divine realms pure myth? These are reasonable questions.

I suppose ones that challenge wind up in a Buddhist 'hell realm'?

This thread is most amusing given that when Buddhist ideology/belief systems are challenged, chaos ensues.

I have been stating my position. Read my posts.

There are some of us that challenge Buddhist ideology so if you can't deal with it, then you have your own little corner of this forum.

So you and your buddies come over on the general forum to proselytize?
