There's not a single thing original in Jesus, nothing. His life and teachings are just a veneer upon ancient myths. The only originality is the very mixed up of a huge amount of others myths. I can't think in a bigger mythical frankenstein monster.

Did Jesus and Gautama Buddha preach a similar message?
by fulltimestudent inthere are many similarities in the stories attached to both the buddha (the one born in lumbini, nepal) and jesus, even though buddha lived in the 6th c/bce and jesus in the 1st c/ce.
this video compares some aspects of their teachings.. the text attached to the video states:.
buddha searched for the truth.

Buddha was just one source of the Jesus myth. You can see some buddhist views in the gospels like the kingdom of heavens being inside everyone and another ones.

When you're 7yo you ask to your mother: "But what about the wordly children in Armageddon ?" And your mother answer: "If you find a nest of snakes, do you kill just the adult ones ?".
When your mother says to you don't be like a goat, but a sheep.
When you know and use a lot of obsolete words.

Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?
by KateWild ini do not think god is a'morphic.
god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.
there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

People told Higgs he was crazy and many years later in a circular tube voila!!!!! Higgs Bosun.
He had faith although at the time there was no evidence.
You must be kidding.

This universe can support the hypothesis of a simulator and not a creator. There's not a single evidence towards a creator, actually we have evidences against a creator.
But going beyond the BB, our universe can be a simulation in a super fancy (quantum) computer. Maybe we are just an experiment (ant colony) from a teenager alien simulator, he just set up some fundamental forces and darwinian algorithms and he left our universe running while he's out party rocking. In his time frame he just left a couple hours ago.
If we are lucky (depends on his hangover) maybe anytime he'll release us in the "internet" or just reboot his "computer".
That's far I can seriously think of a "creator".

Reconstructing Music from the Buddhist Past
by fulltimestudent inthe mogao grottoes were an important stop on the trading network we call the silk road.. they are of interest to us, for the information they contain about the past.
left behind are wonderful images as well as text documents illustrating the transmission of buddhism across asia.. now a chinese institution in gansu province, where the mogao grottoes are located, has attempted to reconstruct both the musicval instruments pictured in some 4000 illustrations and the music that was played on them.. a video is included in the following report from chinese cctv;.

In the JW land everything turns to the opposite in 10 years.
I bet will be a flip flop about the internet.

shock horror! WITNESSING ATTIRE NOW CONDONES OPEN-NECK SHIRTS FOR MALES!
by steve2 ingo to jw.org right now friends and you will see a young male jw witnessing in a rural setting with publication in hand and - take careful note - wearing a crisply-white open-neck shirt.
bring out the carnival, light the lights: the organ ization is kicking itself into an ongoing casualization of its rank and file.. in the 1960s through 1980s i know brothers who dared to attire themselves sans ties who were reprimanded or worse.

[We did have a congregation in the very Calvinist / Ultra-white city of Bloemfontein which kept a wardrobe of white shirts and conservative ties in the back room so that any visiting speaker could be made to "re-dress" in order to conform with their standard.
3 years ago I was spoken to by a CO at a DC where I was giving a talk - who asked me to refrain from wearing a Pinkish shirt - he felt it carried gay overtones.]
