So as some of you are aware I listen to BuddhistSociety when I cannot attend temple. I like to listen to the monks teach and what they have to say.
Well I was watching a sermon and someone had commented:
I simply replied that based on his teachings, writings, and books, that he taught there were no Gods, and God does not exist.
I have noticed lately an influx of christians targeting Buddhists in hopes to get them to convert.
"Buddha is the prophet of God, he taught about god" stuff like that is endless . . .
I know Buddhist philosophy is not popular on this forum but, perhaps you had thoughts on the subject.
There is even a record of a Christian church forging text saying the Buddha spoke of god, and to believe him. When of course Buddhist monks and scholars read these they found them as forgeries.
Pointing out that Buddha called himself Buddha, and other things that the Gautama would not have done.
Anyhow thoughts?
