It is absolutely bizarre that one day the atheists say that only science (meaning physical science) can be the answer but when a doctor (using physical science) say that the guy is dead the atheist say that he wasn't really dead.
NDEs were about people proven dead by the doctor not by Santa.
Now when someone who is proven dead by a doctor this is your science not Santa fake science.
So if the guy come back to life with something that he-she remember very well why not take him seriously?
And when instead of one guy there are thousand of guys that have the same or similar experience then the whole thing make sense.
Quote:It's amazing how you 'know' whether someone is really a buddhist or just calls themselves a buddhist.
I have been around a little bit to know who is who surgen.
Quote:Buddhist do not worship anything external. They don't worship Buddha. There are no gods in buddhism. You're trying to draw this imaginary line between spiritulity and religion where you defined spirituality as all internal worship, and religion external worship. Such a line doesn't exist. Buddhism is an example that such a line doesn't exist. The difference between a religion and spiritualism (in today's time) is religion has a written doctrine and spiritualism is all touchy-feely.
So you reckon that in the temples there are Buddha images just because Buddha is handsome.
