Debunking a Creator

[zerostao]

"These are reasonable questions."

and where are the reasonable answers?

[Simple_Jack]

The Vedas and Upanishads are shruti i.e. uncreated and eternal, ralis please disprove this.

[RongzomFan]

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

 

I thought you were some kind of rationalist??

 

Now you are Jewish?

[ralis]

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 Kabbalists insist on prove the existence of a divine realm that Kabbalists defer to without question? Are the so called divine realms pure myth?

 

These are reasonable questions.

 

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.

And Vedanta is the essence of all these teachings, correct?

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

Well, that makes sense, they were probably tired of spinning the wheels of absolutist fundamental ideology, when they could focus on more immediate concerns such as understanding the nature of afflictions.

Quest Regarding the Cause

of the World – Meaningless

 

No question can there be regarding the time,

place and cause of the origins of this world, for these

themselves form parts of the world.

 

The question seeks to have an explanation of the

whole in terms of its part. This can never be a

logical question.

 

<snip>

 

Beautifully elegant

 

For anyone wanting to follow this up; John Levy goes into a more detailed explanation in The Nature of Man According to the Vedanta

 

Yeah thats typical theism.

 

That God in unknowable.

 

Thats in any church dude.

What's limiting are the double standards he's posted in this thread.

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

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