The teachings of the Buddha in the Pali suttas do not support a dualistic worldview. Instead, it proposed the logical quadrilemma. "Yes, No, Neither Yes nor No, Both Yes and No."

Another excellent reply... and in accord with 'all' forms of the Buddha's teaching.

@igm,

The majority of Tamils in India are Hindus. It is hardly any fault of mine that you can't distinguish the Tamils of India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Yes, i consider the Dalai Lama a pig. Get over it.

Tamils are Hindus in Sri Lanka ... make a point Set by twisting everything to fit you're hatred of Buddhism and me.

If you want to call someone a pig then don't call others to account when they voice their views and you accuse people like spade of not debating 'up to your standards' what a piece of work you are...

@igm,

I don't hate you, i just despise you as a pious fraud, much like your hero the Dalai Lama. I certainly don't hate Buddhists, i just despise pious frauds. According to the CIA world factbook, 69.1% of the population of Sri Lanka are Buddhists, and just over 7% of them are Hindus. The same source reports over 8% of the population as being Tamil . . . hmmm . . . there's a problem with your numbers, there, Bubba.

I have never accused Spade of "not debating up to [my] standards." Either quote me as saying that, or reveal that you are a liar. I have no idea of what this little bit of incoherence is supposed to mean:

You've got an "if clause" there, which implies a condition, and yet you don't provide the condition. Why would you expect me to call others to account when they express their views? As it happens, if someone expresses a view which i consider questionable, i usually do ask for an explanation, or point out any fallacy i see.

What a piece of work you are.

They're christian but you probably knew that.. wouldn't suit your vendetta against Buddhism though would it?

I also know about your tactic of posting as much as possible after posts which show you up for what you really are... to put some distance between others reading later and those posts... Bubba.

@igm,

I have no vendetta. You're delusional and paranoid. Now you're imagining that you're sufficiently important that i have a "tactic" for dealing with your delusional accusations. It appears that your tactic is to throw out accusations which you never substantiate.

I don't hate Buddhists and i have no vendetta against them or you. I do despise pious frauds, which means that i despise you.

Then you need to 'quote' posts which substantiate your accusation of my piousness, fraud, delusion and paranoia... it just sounds like hatred to me, but go ahead... substantiate or look like a liar... or just peddle more disinformation.

I have 'plenty' of instances where you have vilified both Buddhism and me. Some are just a few posts above this one.

Your next post is about Sri Lanka and you said that Buddhist were fighting Buddhists for 30 yrs this is just not true and your reference to the fact that some Tamils may or may not be Buddhist is beside 'the point' you were making. Tamils in Sri Lanka are Hindu and even that is beside the point as it is a 'separatist' issue between Tamils and a 'secular' government. Not as your vendetta wants to show Buddhist killing Buddhists for 30 yrs.

The fighting in Sri Lanka was between the Sri Lanka army (who are secular as is the govenment) and Hindu or Christian Tamils who want independence (not as a religion but as a political wish).

@igm,

There is a big difference between vilifying pious frauds and vilifying Buddhism. It doesn't matter to me what you think on the subject, and you're a fool if you think i'm going to jump through your hoops. You want to call me a liar? Help yourself--are you really so dense that you think i care what you think of me?

@Setanta,

Yea, call me names with 'empty' accusations.

I'm calling you a Buddhist hater and a hater of me and I have plenty of references. See above and all over the religion and philosophical forums. Some of it is obvious some of it is passive aggressive.

I amended and added some lines to my post which is previous to the post above.

Sure, Bubba, whatever you say . . . sticks and stones, lover boy . . .

Are you attempting to suggest that no Buddhists have ever been killers? Are you attempting to suggest that Buddhists being soldiers is "beside the point?" It is exactly the point--the point is that Buddhists are no better and no worse than any other religious group.

Buddhist monks were prominent warriors, both for their own political reasons and as mercenaries in feudal Japan.

@FBM,

I few questions, if I may...and to igm who considers this pretty much a perfect reply:

You wrote:

Quote:

The religious Buddhism is not qualitatively indistinct from any of the theist religions in that the ignorant pray to imagined spirits for salvation, good luck, etc.

Are you suggesting there that only "ignorant" people pray to imagined spirits?

If "yes"...are you prepared to defend that assertion?

Are you willing to dismiss the very intelligent people who pray...to what apparently you consider imagined spirits?

Are there any "spirits" that are not imagined?

Are you certain the ones that you consider "imagined"...are not real?

If you would prefer these one at a time...just deal with the first and I'll submit the others later.

@Setanta,

Setanta says.... 'I don't hate Buddhism' ... Setanta (without so much as breath in between) continues in the same vain but now we've moved to ancient Japan from contemporary Sri Lanka... to continue with his theme.

Readers please expect more calling of the respected heads of Buddhism 'pigs' to continue.

I've only called the Dalai Lama a pig, and i stand by that. It's hardly my fault if you expect Buddhism to be treated with a respect which no other religion can claim. You're just like the fanatical Christians who want to claim that their preferred superstition is entitled to respect. I don't respect any other form of superstition, so i see no reason to extend to Buddhism a courtesy i don't extend to other religions.

@Setanta,

Oh I see, you were just withholding respect... sure you were... how did I and the 350+ viewers we've had during our 'discussion' miss that?

@igm,

Wow . . . you've been keeping track of how many people view the thread? So, in addition to being delusional and paranoid, you're obsessional about this, too? I've got better things to do right now, but i may be back later. Post something interesting for a change, 'K?
