I'll accept your tacit confession that you are desperate to EVADE my questions and that you will avoid them at all costs.

You don't "ask questions" in good faith, and you aren't genuinely interested in any answers.

I get a foul whiff of mental illness from that one.

His manifesto, chronic lying about his socks and political views all indicate severe mental illness. He has average or better intelligence and education, but definitely wacky.

You don't "ask questions" in good faith,

You don't get to declare the "faith" of my questions. My question are my questions, and your job is to answer them, not to EVADE them, especially not with LAME excuses that stretch the boundaries of absurdity.

... and you aren't genuinely interested in any answers.

You don't get to declare whether or not I want answers to my questions. If I ask a question, it's because I want an answer.

The last time you attempted to compose a "gotcha!"

I don't compose GOTCHA's. You EVADE legitimate questions because you are a pretender who has no business speaking at the adult's table.

post about a book I read it blew up in your face

You fled that discussion also the moment I asked you a grown-up question that you, of course, could not answer. Your track record is 0% on providing correct answers, if I'm not mistaken.

Let's review:

Buddhism simply doesnt concern itself with gods.

Incorrect. The Dhammapada is chock full of references to gods, spirits, Devas, descriptions of Hell.

I'm going to ask you to identify two gods referenced in the Dhammapada. I don't remember any gods being mentioned.

For your convenience I have included the Dhammapada (with English translation) here:https://www.ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Texts-and-Translations/Dhammapada/index.htm

I'm not going to discuss the Dhammapada with someone who ... [lame EVASION omitted] [lack of identification of two gods omitted]

You haven't read it, have you? On the other hand, you know that I've read it because I was able to call bullshit on your error. You are now EVADING because you realize that I have a good understanding of the Dhammapada and that you do not. You are EVADING because you were once again caught trying to roleplay a thmart perthon and we're revealed to be ignorant on the topic. There is a valid reason that you lack credibility.

All you had to do was to identify two gods in the Dhammapada, which you assert is "chock full" of gods and other supernatural entities. You instead rushed to somehow disqualify me from being able to ask any questions.

[message-board pivot omitted] [declaration fallacy omitted][American-clique pivot omitted][The Dhammapada] is chock full of references to the diety Mara, Hell, Devas, and samsara.

You still haven't posted any quotes from the Dhammapada to support your claim, and I only asked for two. Two gods.

Mara is the weakness of the flesh that all humans have and that requires discipline to conquer, whether to maintain a diet or to take a cold shower when you aren't getting any. Mara is often anthropomorphized in stories, but those are purely allegorical.

Devas are just running characters in stories (parables, fables, etc..) like Sherlock Holmes. They aren't gods.

Samsara is not a god; it is essentially this plane of existence whereby people are mere pain accumulators, from the moment of birth, through life, and then in rebirth through reincarnation. Samsara is the cold, hard, cruel world, as opposed to Nirvana.

Hell is another plane of existence, i.e. the underworld.

You aren't aware of any gods in the Dhammapada; you were just trying to sound really thmart and got carried away writing about something of which you know nothing. You obviously haven't even read it.

There are no gods in Buddhism. The religion has a great deal of spirituality and supernatural concepts, but there are no deities. If you had bothered to read the Dhammapada before impulsively rushing to thound really thmart, you might not have made the junior-league rookie errors that you did. Apply this lesson to science and learn some before impulsively rushing to make stupid, scientifically illiterate, bandwidth-wasting comments.

0%. You haven't answered any of my questions, and I'm not the only one posting on JPP who knows exactly why.

You don't get access to my time until you show some integrity and maturity

I am not interested in sitting down and coloring with you at the children's table.

Yes he can.

Yes he can.

I agree

God is not your enemy. By "God", I mean the force behind the creation of our Universe. If a lightning bolt strikes you down, it's because you were stupid about bein in the open during a thunderstorm. If you drop dead of a heart attack in your 60s is because you chose to eat too much fat, smoke and not get enough exercise. If you are caught in a hurricane, it's because you choose to live in a hurricane area. Same for an earthquake. God is not after you or causing these problems. We choose for ourselves.

The universe was created by a giant talking walrus.
