Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
I had god this morning.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I never understand why some atheist swear to God or refer to God here and there?
If God does not exist why on earth these people would refer to someone who does not exist?
That is a way to go mental. Smile

Stop making shit up.


Your stupidity is just behind believe. (As if i wouldn't already know)
Benares or Varanasi which many describe as the older city on planet earth is full of temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and these temple were build thousand of years ago.
But in India there are evidence of Shiva that lives thousand years ago everywhere.

Here you can't go really wrong.
The evidence that this temple was 7000 years old are all there and in it there is evidence that Lord Shiva was worshipped.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingam
In here you also find out the meaning of Shivalinga as the symbol of Lord Shiva. Confused Fall

An allegedly 7000-year-old temple does not say anything about the origin of yoga. Your thinking is very muddy.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

I never understand why some xtians, muslims etc use words like "Wednesday" and "Thursday". If the Norse gods do not exist, why on earth do these people refer to someone who does not exist?

Either that is a way to go mental, or there's a far simpler explanation.

When i work in the mental unit i see no logic explanation for what patient say or do.
Everything boil down to damaged brains. Smile

Ok. let me see.
Before you categorically exclude that Shiva lives 7000 years ago.
Now that you got some evidence of that fact you turn at yoga.
I am sure that if i give you more evidence about yoga being 7000 years old you will turn on something else.
How can i make you happy Chas? Confused FallThinkingConfused Fall

Non sequitur.

What does "you turn at yoga" mean?

You have provided no evidence yet.

I'd be happy if you got some professional help or possibly medication - it could improve your life.

Wikipedia Wrote:The origins of Yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-vedic Indian traditions, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in the same ascetic circles as the early sramana movements.[8][note 1] The earliest accounts of yoga-practices are in the Buddhist Nikayas.[9] Parallel developments were recorded around 400 CE in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,[10] which combines pre–philosophical speculations and diverse ascetic practices of the first millennium BCE with Samkhya-philosophy. Hatha yoga emerged from tantra by the turn of the first millennium.[11][12]

So yoga is about 2500 years old, not 7000.

Here there is something very very funny.
Sometime we have the evidence right in front our very eyes yet we can not see anything.
Most of Shiva representations are of Shiva in the lotus position.
Lotus position or posture is when you do meditation in most cases.
Now why on earth would Shiva sit in the lotus position if he wouldn't engage in meditation?
And what type of meditation would Shiva do if his followers call it yoga meditation?
From here it is obvious that yoga was practiced by Shiva and if Shiva was there 7000 years ago it is also obvious that yoga is as old as Shiva.
What's the purpose to open our eyes if we don't understand the obvious?

Start by establishing that any depictions of Shiva in a Lotus position are 7000 years old.
Then establish that that form of sitting down was regarded as the Lotus position 7000 years ago.

Maybe Shiva had a tummy ache?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
