Debunking a Creator

Are you going to tell us what you know??

 

Him, ralis & Co. know double standards.

Him, ralis & Co. know double standards.

 

He dug himself into a hole, didn't he?

[gatito]

A double standard because according to him this only applies to Vedanta.

 

 

Another double standard because I posted a summary on how to put the buddhadharma to practice, here http://thetaobums.com/topic/32739-yidams-in-vajrayana/?p=500344

 

No double standard because it's not a belief system on which I'm reliant

 

You've said that your system is faith-based

 

Are you going to tell us what you know??

Ralis dug himself into a hole when he tried to judge Buddhism on the basis of e-prime.

If you both promise to behave nicely

[RongzomFan]

If you both promise to behave nicely

 

Yes, sure.

[Simple_Jack]

Yes, so are believing the Vedas, the Torah, the Bible, the Koran are of divine origin.

Yes, so are believing the Vedas, the Torah, the Bible, the Koran are of divine origin.

 

Believing that the Vedas are of divine origin is unnecessary but you can believe that if you want

 

Niether position presents a barrier

bump

[gatito]

Yes, sure.

 

It could take years and probably will

 

Is that also OK?

[ralis]

I reiterate that I can only discuss what I know about - no double standard - it's not reliant on any belief

 

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

[RongzomFan]

Yes.

[Simple_Jack]

Vedanta is based off of the Vedas and the Upanishads which are considered of divine origin.

We are going around in circles here already

Ralis dug himself into a hole when he tried to judge Buddhism on the basis of e-prime.

 

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

Another double standard.

[RongzomFan]

Are you Gatitio going to tell us what you know??

[Simple_Jack]

You should admit that Vedanta is also faith-based like the Torah, the Bible, the Koran.

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

bump for a response

[Simple_Jack]

This applies to the principles of Buddhism how?

[gatito]

Another double standard.

 

I'm going to walk away if you don't pack this in

 

You should admit that Vedanta is also faith-based like the Torah, the Bible, the Koran.

 

For the third and final time - what I have been taught is not

[Simple_Jack]

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

 

Which should also apply to the Vedas, the Torah, the Bible, the Koran.

[Simple_Jack]

Then this should also apply to Buddhism.
