Personal relationships with deities
RE: Personal relationships with deities
If I woke up one day believing in God, I think I would definitely start shoving old ladies under buses etc. It's only my stubborn obsession with denying reality that keeps my random acts of violence under control.
Feel free to send me a private message.

As is the notion that buddhism(or christianity, or god)  helps you to be moral.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If one is born as a animal it is very very difficult to attain a human life because an animal brings Karma on instinct. If it's a lion , the intention is killing and killing. It will be very difficult to get out of that life.
Seriously? *Thats* a punishment!? Someone get over here right now because I would happily kill to become a Lion.
Volunteers? 
Honestly, throw it all at me. Antelope, Lion, worm, moth, I don't care. It all sounds awesome and short lived. Like if you gave me a life as every animal on earth one after another it would probably add up to under 10000 years. Thats being generous. Compared to the most conservative estimates of how long this universe has been around and will likely be around thats a speck of nothing. 
Its like giving me a free french film for beating up the movie ticket collector. Bring it, it doesn't matter. Because after that Quieten Tarantino is airing every film hes ever made, thats right; I'm gonna be buddha bitches. I could do what I want for the next two life times and still have enough time to get a pizza on the way to nirvana. 
Also, by your logic Nirvana isn't eternal either so... fuck it.

Good day Sir, According to what i believe, If one does bad deeds, The repercussions can come in this life as well. This life, next life, in the next 10 lives no one can point out and say on which. Nothing is eternal in this world. Nirvana means, that being seizes to exist. Free from all attachment, Free from all craving/suffering and the need to cling on to materialistic things.

I agree. According to what you believe.

Question is are your beliefs right? I don't think so.

Is my belief right? I or anyone cannot decide that. It teaches me a way to live and it works for me.

Bad deeds like, stealing, bribing , cheating people, adultery etc etc.

You really think no one can decide if a belief is right or not?

So if I were to say that the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists no one could say that belief would be wrong any more than any other belief, because it's my belief?

There is the burden of proof and without evidence a belief is irrational.

No Sir your correct if i said my belief is the only belief. It is most certainly not. To me my beliefs like Karma and rebirth may or may not be there and i am fine with that. I anyway practice Buddhism regardless of the magic (as an Atheist would call it) that's in there. There are some good things which helps me a lot. Practices like polite speech for example. Take blame and praise equally etc.

I don't think etc etc is a valid description. How do you know these things are bad?
