The Nature of Religion

[Lykan]

"The world that you see is a reflection of your own state of consciousness. Your state of consciousness is reflected in how you see the world." - Steven Sadleir

A Jew, a Christian, a Moslem, and an Atheist were all taking a walk together when they met up with a Hindu, a Vedic Scholar, a Buddhist, and a Yogi, and they entered into a deep philosophical debate. Guess who won?


The Jew won, because he was chosen to win.

The Christian won, because his faith in Christ never swayed.

The Moslem won, because he fought for a righteous cause and will go straight to heaven when he dies.

The Atheist won, because he left the argument and spent his time doing something more productive.

The Hindu won, because he earned spiritual credits that would assure him of a better next life.

The Vedic Scholar won, because he could out-argue them all.

The Buddhist won, because there was no one to lose.

And the Yogi won, because although he could see the truth in each perspective he was not attached to any conclusion.


Thus is the nature of religion in the world today.

And what of the nature of truth?

Where did you get the bogus view that Muslims believe that
"because he fought for a righteous cause and will go straight to heaven when he dies. "

Muslims don't claim to know anything about their destination in the afterlife, all we do is a strive, but the end is unknown.

And if your claim regarding the muslims are false, then what makes me trust a word you say about another....needless to say consider your view on the collective issue.
