You are the one that bows to a mere man, and an statue. Confesses sins to a man. I'm not the one F***ed in the head.

Exactly. And I am not Jesus Christ. Stop professing that one is more right than the other because we do not know the truth. Neither me now you.

I'm sure that Buddhists brush their teeth just like Christians. I'm not interested here in the many ways that Christianity and Buddhism might be similar but in their differences, this one central difference in particular.

Also, for the sake of this thread, to pacify the Nietzschians let's assume that God is dead. That heaven and hell are just myth. That when you die you are dead as a coffin nail.

Nevertheless, my point stands. This seems to be a central difference between Buddhism and Christianity. Consider the example set by Jesus vs. Buddha. Buddha left his family to pursue enlightenment while Jesus suffered for the love of his friends.

Consider further the products of Christianity and Buddhism. Christianity invented science and capitalism and it was Christians who discovered and colonized the New World and drew the world together. Buddhism has accomplished...what?

It may well be that Buddhist techniques can reduce suffering in the same sense that an aspirim can relieve a headache.

Dude, Buddha suffered extremely in his search to better humanity.

Now............ANSWER MY QUESTION. STOP DODGING.



DO YOU HAVE ANY HARD FACTS TO PROVE THAT THE BUDDHA DIED IN 483 AND STAYED DEAD AND DID NOT ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT?

DO YOU HAVE PROOF OF THIS?

[Biblical_Christian]

So Buddha had Enlightenment.........Big hairy deal. BIG HAIRY DEAL! ................Enlightenment (or brightening) broadly means the acquisition of new wisdom or understanding enabling clarity of perception. However, the English word covers two concepts which can be quite distinct: religious or spiritual enlightenment (German: Erleuchtung) and secular or intellectual enlightenment (German: Aufklärung). This can cause confusion, since those who claim intellectual enlightenment often reject spiritual concepts altogether.

In religious use, enlightenment is most closely associated with South and East Asian religious experience, being used to translate words such as (in Buddhism) Bodhi or satori, or (in Hinduism) moksha.

In secular use, the concept refers mainly to the European intellectual movement known as the Age of Enlightenment, also called the Age of Reason referring to philosophical developments related to scientific rationality in the 17th and 18th centuries.

As per another emerging thought stream, "enlightenment", in conventional sense of complete realization, is impossible because "complete" is a state which never comes. The immediate next moment brings new beginning and may bring new truths as well. It may result in further requirement and scope of psychological and spiritual developement beyond anything known till date.
