the orthodox church is way more mystic than any other church of christianity

yet it is an isrealite piece of sh!t coupled with roman demagogue


Now sidarta was 500 years before christ.


and there was contact betwwn Greeks (which meeans me) and Buddha and India


amazing


There was contact between Greece and Budhism before christianity was even a thought

[Bereta_Eder]

you do know that there was a polytheon in israel

yehocah was just one of the 10 of god's sons for some piece poor tribe somewhere to the east of greece


yehovah then becase a god of thunder


oh....... a lot like zeus isn't it?



then israelies or cannaaas got screwed

the poor sods cried

how can our god be vanquished

but wait if god is in heaven on the sky it can never be vanquished

ro,mans wre cruel tough mothers, we fcked them over so many times but to other peope they were that




yehovah was just a little god of a little tribe



now BUDDHA was there 500 years ahead

and he didn't need to defend any peoples


he jsut was there

islam if probably the msot sh!t religion along with christianit

but buddha is pure

he didn't have an agenda

to reach the divine. it is within you....


yet the whpole of india was influenvce by greek religion too

As a scientist/materialist I appreciate the emphasis on the body (although there are parts of Christianity who do not have such an emphasis).

In my post I was referring to mental demons (while acknowledging the possible existence of spiritual demons).

it is funny that all the icons are portrayed emanciated bodies, thinned to the verge of being exhumed/ascended and yet (greek) christianity puts so much emphasis on the body.

there is something mystical to the icons even more so because of their ethereal character

catholic bibelos and little toys/"statues" are just finny though.


like chinese toys from lidl

(the renessance themed paitnings arte awesome though. not sure how christian they are)

[Bereta_Eder]

catholic "manekens" of christ etc are so ugly and funny and a;lmost offensive to the faith.

due to multiculturalism i say nothing of cpurse i keep the laughter and thoughts to myself

but they are funny kitsch as f

[Bereta_Eder]

θεωσις or theosis is the act of joining with God. it is immense I dodn;t even know such a word existed.

I don't know if christianity has it but buddhism certaintly has

OTOH I find the idea of metanscarcosis (meta - after sarca-flesh, all greek words) tacky and peasant

[Bereta_Eder]

re-incarnation in latin

[Bereta_Eder]

there is something intricate and wholly human to theology.

it is like breathing or synaptic universal harmonies.

to any atheist that says the universe is endless and just exists because.

well there is the irrational right there


if you don't know the reason why shut the f up and shove your atheism up your arse because it is irrelevent and illogical
