Asia has it's own religions and superstitions, and despite what some might believe in the west, Buddhism is as much a religion as any other and is rooted in it's own mythology.
Some people don't consider them religions because they don't worship a God. As one person here was saying.
There are definintions of religions that have God and there are definitions without God.
So with that being said wouldn't it mean that Asians are atheists seeing they don't worship a God in Buddhism, Taoism, Confuscism and others?
I personally think they're agnostic. But I know some people here will say that without a God its atheism. Do u consider Bruce Lee to be an atheist?
Brian37 Wrote:but that is still a separate issue for me than humans needing any religion at all
I didn't make that claim here. I just put forward a great man, a real deep thinker who some people may consider to be atheist.
Is that why uv been so hostile? Cos I suggested that without religion we might still be living like chimps? Animals have religions if u define it as just groups. Right
I dunno B37 u confuse me. I loved ur theory on how humans lived in societies like Bonobo monkeys.
Ur theory is one of my theories and I was hoping to ask u some questions but u weren't open to discussion. Why?
Where was the hate coming from B37? I never insulted or abused u.
No one else here even commented on ur theory. I followed ur logic and was the only one who praised it. Yet u were so hostile. Why? I don't understand that
Well u weren't hostile to me here so i dunno, if u want to talk about ur theory we'll talk. Up to u
