yea thats pretty much what i was saying. suffering is a stepping stone on the path to enlightenment. is is unavoidable, but it is however traversable.
I'm agnostic. I don't think its possible to know if theres a God or not. I also believe if there is a God, where probably not his pride and joy. I mean, put yourself in his place. Theres the entire universe, which is mind numbingly huge, then theres this little planet in an obscure galaxy, that is inhabited by a bunch of monkeys that murder each other. Look at the world as a whole, theres tons of differnt religions, some worship nature, some worship certain people, like a pharaoh, some worship a single god, some worship many gods, some worship asteroids, the moon, or the sun, the list goes on and on. This just proves the point that religion isn't that complex of idea. Even though i'm agnostic, im 100% positive christianity is bs. Its just a cult that got out of control. I mean, a married virgin get pregnant. 2000 years ago, god impregnating her doesn't sound that far fetched, but common, what if she messed around with someone and got pregnant, or maybe even blacked out and got pregnant. And by the way, I wonder what Gods DNA is like anyway? its completely ridiculous. Also, back in the middle east when jesus was living, there was TONS of little groups that had messiahs. Allot of them were at once bigger than Jesus... like the beatles. Jesus just got lucky. Also, back then, people in the middle east were known to use holy anointing oil on their skin, which is proven to contain a good amount of marijuana, and get high that way. Now if I lived back then, and I thought you could cure a fever by sitting in a cold river, or schizophrenic peopel were possessed by demons, than watching a guy preach, while on a psychedelic drug, might make me think hes the sun of god, same thing happened with manson's followers. Also, say jesus was the son of god... I wouldn't take the churchs representation of jesus as truth, in fact its far from the truth. The catholic church are not good people, they've killed many people, brainwashed many people, and are flat out terrrorists. The jesus that actually existed is nothing like what they say in church.
