It's worth noting that the Buddha was agnostic about questions regarding the afterlife and gods and such, and so his teachings were in a sense rather secular. To suggest that this makes the sky god theory fall apart seems to indicate only an unfamiliarity with Buddhism and an innocent attempt to characterize Buddhism as sufficiently similar to the sky daddy religions that the lack of such in Buddhism proves a flaw in the sky daddy theory, rather than a flaw in your analogy between the two. It's worth noting as well that later Buddhist movements did add sky daddies, miracles, and the supernatural to Buddha's original teachings, so it's not at all clear why this shows a failing of the sky daddy theory. A largely secular movement was supersized with sky daddies and such. That seems to endorse whatever you are referring to by the sky daddy theory.
See. Intersting. Id like to ask some questions but I know ur just a troll trying to set me up so why bother trying to intiate a civil disscussion
Its a shame really. Someone seemingly intelligent and logical resorting to such weak tactics. And why?
U just read between the lines with paranoid glasses on.
Did u even consider my thought? Off course not. Stuck in ur one belief.
Buddhasm is one example. There are more. U should know ur Asian. LoL
So as u dissmissed me so i dissmiss u as false.

A Roman slave from 50BC was paid differnt to the slave from 300AD. I don't remember which one was better off but.
if I get the worse off employee today and the best off Roman slave I think the slave is better off.
The slave also was provided accomodation and food i think. A season pass to the Colossium... Lovely... LoL
Its all moving away from my point which is there was no word for employee back then and most people are slaves to society today anyway.
Nope, I'm going to continue to disagree with your comparison of slavery under Romans and modern, western work practices/ethics.
Also I would quite like some one with an ancient knowledge bent to join the thread such as to give those reading some good knowledge about such things as workers, payments etc.
Also, please look up Prof Lyn's book. Is a good read.
Hehehehe. The almighty. Rejecting thoughts. Dogmatic to his beliefs.
Will not accept that "just over" may be 1 cent more than on par.
Will not accept that nuances will change the "on par"
I bet u take this book as factual knowledge... Grow up man
