The Most Logical Religion

[AngryTitusPullo]

I find it illogical to follow the orders of a long dead dessert warlord, but to each their own eh.

I follow (or try to follow as much as I can) orders from God. Muhammad is just a messenger, like all messengers before him.

[Biggus Splenus]

Why do these topics always get offensive. I'm not even religious and what some people are saying about others' religions is offending me...

[Knight of Heaven]

Logic and religion are not meant to be together, i thought that was the whole point. So i find the OP question paradoxal in nature.
Also for reference paganism is paganism, it doesnt matter if its Norse, Egyptian, Roman, or Greek mythology, just wanted to point that out.

Regardless, if i had to say wich is the more logical concept wise it would be Budihsm. At least it has a goal that can be somewhat palpable, even if debatable. While it requires a belief of something transcendent,its mostly from within self, not some excterior all powerfull entity, or entities.
Talking about core concepts at least.

BTW Atheism isnt a religion.
And im Agnostic myself.

[hellheaven1987]

Buddhism does not worship anything nor demand unquestionable faith on something supernature; when there is no faith involved it is not a religion anymore.

Debatable whether or not it requires a belief in anything transcendent given one of its highest values is experience and validation of beliefs/lack of dogma.

Logic and Religion should be together, however, the personalities of some... (you know) don't want it to be so.

" Basics,
It is equally ludicrous to think that some might get mercy while others don't on the simple basis of how gullible you are, or what special-subjective-magical-revelation/hallucination you might have received."

Himster,

Of course it would be quite illogical and ludicrous if that were how things happened to all them that have been born again of the Spirit of God. The thing is that they know having had that experience something I may say that you haven't which leaves you in a position of making assumptions and false assumptions at that.

" Precisely the same as your religion. They have their own prophets and wise-men, their own creation myths, their own deities and supernatural entities, their own notions of virtue and the soul (different from yours, but equally narrow and closed minded generally speaking), their own prophecies that they claim to have come true, hundreds of thousands of recorded miracles "witnessed" and "testified" to, just like your religion. All these religions claim the same thing including yours: you all claim to have impossible knowledge about impossible things with absolutely no evidence. "

As I have pointed out these myths are a twisted version of the original that God laid down at the fall of man and they only began after the flood whereas the Gospel was proclaimed quite some time before at the act of creation. So yes, they will have their so-called holy men and their so-called prophets but God's word declares them as false. If there is any supernaturality involved with them God's word tells us where that comes from and it's not from Him. As for their miracles, where is it said that the dead were raised like Jesus, Peter and Paul did, that water was changed into wine, that any walked on water as Jesus and Peter did, the Red Sea and the Jordan being parted, manna falling from heaven and many many more? It is written that millions witnessed the Red sea and the Jordan crossing, that thousands witnessed the loaves and the fishes episodes so it's not as though we are talking here about one or two witnesses. By the end of the day of Pentecost some two to three thousand were born again and people actually saw the Spiritual fire that accompanied that event.

" There's a very pertinent saying relevant to this: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. "

Very true because God also said, " that thinking themselves wise they became fools " why? Because staring them in the face is what God made so that they have no excuse for making assumptions about Him and His people. You're the one living in the glass house old fellow and your the one casting the stones.

" This is the most insane and insipid example of circular reasoning you have ever said Basics: and that is saying a lot.
"All must bow down to Christ therefore Christ must be God." Are you serious? Are you actually joking? "

Is it really? Well, once again it is written that, " every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." Now the name Lord in this context means God and because, when this actually happens during the judgement and as only God can judge, it follows that Jesus Christ is God. Yes, the Elohim, plural, the "us" that made man in the image of God. There is nothing insane nor insipid nor circular in repeating that. Some day even you are going to have to accept that fact so wouldn't it be better before death than after when it is too late?

Like I said; Hinduism is not an religion. It is not the same with all other religions. And that is a true fact.

[sumskilz]

Hinduism is a way of life. Not religion.

Like I said; Hinduism is not an religion. It is not the same with all other religions.

I think I've heard something like that before, but it wasn't Hinduism, it was...

Islam is not a religion. It’s a way of life that teaches us about our relationship with God, with the universe, and our relationship with ethics with the economy and our political system

I know and believe that Christianity is not a religion. IT IS A WAY OF LIFE.

Though what hellheaven has said it's absolutely true (I can confirm it for personal experience) in mathematics you can see and feel the beauty (example? Sezione Aurea or Golden Ratio, the theorem reaches the beauty, someone says it's the imprint of the hand of God in the created order, you find the Golden Ratio everywhere in the Universe .... but this is a long story ), nevertheless you cannot reach God through mathematics, God is not a theorem, if God was reachable using mathematics he would be a f.... equation, and your faith wouldn't have any merit, in fact if you can understand God where is your faith? where is your own risk? Where is the mystery of Faith? Let apart logic and find your personal way to your damn deity, if you need it, but please try not to find God understanding him through logic, this is idiotic, any Christian, Muslim, Buddhist would tell you the same. God cannot be measured using Logic and cannot be fully understood, God has to be felt by your soul not understood by your mind.

Look what has to do an Atheist today! Explaining the concept of god to a mass of (a)theists! This is madness! Mala tempora currunt!

Buddhist worship Buddha.

[Denny Crane!]

Buddhist worship Buddha.

Buddhists worship Buddha in the same way that suicide bombing is condoned by Mohammed and guarantees 47 virgins in the afterlife.

Ideally the only thing shown to Buddha is respect. Bowing and sitting in front of a picture of Buddha is respect to the teacher, the teachings and the path of Dharma. Like any religion not every idea that people do is found in the religion. I don't think suicide bombing is in the Qu'ran, nor do I think Buddha proclaimed himself a god or thought people should worship him. It was rather the opposite.

Gripped by fear people go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines.

I'm sorry, it appears Mormons are the correct answer

[Denny Crane!]

They are definitely the nicest people in the world I mean really, weird.

[Sir Adrian]

No thats not true.

Wow very adamant indeed. Well to be fair, Dawkins wanted the original wording to be "there is almost certainly no god", but that was considered too long.

It is true, read The God Delusion and any of his speeches.

Those who actually worship Buddha are normally not Buddhists at all.

[PointOfViewGun]

Is Buddhism a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe? Then, yes, it's a religion. Same as atheism.

Right, next time you would start saying nature science is a religion too, and Aristotle was first founder of that religion.
