  • Is there any relevance in the idea of reincarnation?

    Of course. In Theravāda Buddhism you will find a highly literal interpretation as well as a more general, “spiritual” interpretation.

    In a literal, mechanical, scientific sense, the cells in your body are constantly dying and being replaced using nutrients in the food you eat. The universe is moving through you. You are parts of every other organism that has existed on earth. You are parts of every human on earth. Every other human is parts of every other human on earth. What you do to others is done to yourself. Be kind to people.






  • I think nothing outside of the gospels is of any merit. It is probably worth your time to read the red words in the bible. Jesus was on some real shit, minus all the son of god stuff

    Before people get huffy yes I have read the entire bible; it is not “the most beautiful book ever written” nor anything close to that, but Jesus was an interesting dude

    You also can not read the bible as if it’s modern English and interpret it as such. Always consider 1. who was talking then, 2. who they were talking to, and 3. the context in which they were speaking at the time.
