Hi there! Can you explain how you can be an athiest Buddhist? I'm so confused, I thought Buddhists believed in a god!
Personally I think spirits may exist too (or I hope so!).
Ps. I'm a sucker for graphics, and a graphics search on Buddhism turned out some nice shots for me thank you

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
