• Belief in Deity
The concept of a supreme Creator God is rejected or at least considered irrelevant to Theravada Buddhism. Buddha, "the Awakened One," is revered above all--not as "God" but as supreme sage, model of a fully enlightened person.

• Incarnations
Buddha was a human, a fully enlightened spiritual teacher and inspiration. As there is no belief in or relevant God, there are no incarnations of God worshipped.

• Origin of Universe and Life
Buddhists consider it the job of scientists to explain origins of the universe and life. There is no contradiction with scientific discovery, however many maintain that the world creates and recreates itself millions of times every fraction of a second.

• After Death
There is no transmigration of individual souls, but through the law of karma, one's wholesome or unwholesome intentions become imprinted in the mind. Negative mental states persist through continual rebirth until one's intentions become wholesome. Once fully enlightened, one is liberated from rebirths, reaching a state of absolute selflessness resulting in ultimate bliss called Nirvana--the "Deathless State." One becomes Buddha (or one with Buddha). Some Buddhists, especially modern Western, don't emphasize or believe in literal rebirth.

• Why Evil?
People have free will to commit wrongs or rights. Evil doings may result when egoism, cravings, attachments, and ignorance are expressed as greed, hatred, and violence, which, if unmitigated, is perpetuated through rebirth.

• Salvation
Enlightenment is an individual journey to Nirvana (complete bliss)--liberation from suffering and cycles of rebirth--acheived by following the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path. To eliminate karma, which causes rebirth, one must extinguish the belief in a separate self that give rise to cravings, desires, and attachments. The path to enlightenment includes loving-kindness and compassion, moral conduct, charity, wisdom, and meditation.

• Undeserved Suffering
Unenlightened life is suffering, and the cessation of this suffering is the primary goal of Buddhism--to reach Nirvana, to end cycles of rebirth. Suffering is a result of past-life greed, hatred, and ignorance, which return as suffering (karma), while compassion toward others who suffer reduces the effects of karma.

• Contemporary Issues
Abortion is considered murder, and all violent acts cause horrific karmic consequence. Homosexuality in itself is not specifically condemned by scripture, but opinions vary, especially among various Buddhist cultures--e.g., Buddhists in the United States are generally very accepting, while some Asian Buddhists are generally strongly opposed to homosexuality. It is believed that divorce wouldn't occur if one follows Buddhist precepts, but a couple is not condemned if they separate due to vast personal differences. In Theravada countries, gender roles are generally traditional (e.g. woman as child caretakers and men as providers), but less rigid as contemporary demands are made on women (e.g. working women).

[Dark Carnage]

No God or supreme force. Or not sure. Or not important.

I don't like how this is done.

I say there's no God. I'm not on the unsure list, or not important list. I firmly believe there is no God, so why I am put into the same group as those?

Just seems like an easier way for me to end up with some result that tells me I have a slight belief in God, just like it did.

Neo-Pagans are a community of faiths bringing ancient Pagan and magickal traditions to the modern age--including mostly Wicca but also Druidism, Asatru, Shamanism, neo-Native American, and more. Neo-Pagan is an umbrella term for various and diverse beliefs with many elements in common. Some Neo-Pagans find no incongruence practicing Neo-Paganism along with adherence to another faith, such as Christianity or Judaism.

LOL,it is SO weird that,because humans are so knackered by their own mortality,people that DON'T believe in the big invisible imaginary friend are considered to be foolish churls,whereas,people that regularly talk to a non-exsistent,intangible and invisible imaginary friend are considered to be upstanding citizens.


world?
and your people??


I hate you.

Human beings are weak minded creatures. They need their vices to keep themselves going. Religion is just one of those vices.

Let's pray for them.

Mahayana Buddhism includes diverse beliefs, various sects, schools, and trends. The main Mahayana sects include Pure Land, Zen, and Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. We focus here on some of the traditional elements of Mahayana Buddhism.

An umbrella term for a wide range of personal and individual beliefs and practices influenced primarily by Eastern religions, paganism, and spiritism.

• Belief in Deity
God is the impersonal life force, consciousness, ultimate truth and reality, the incorporeal, formless cosmic order personified within all people and matter. God is all and all are God.


• Incarnations
Most believe there are no particular incarnations to worship, as all in the universe are embodiments of God.


• Origin of Universe and Life
The universe, life, and matter were not created by God but "are" God. The universe and life emerged out of the creative power of the eternal universal life force.


• After Death
Some believe in continual rebirth--no death--as life is spirit. Some believe that our souls rest for a time before deciding on a new body (or bodies). Heaven and hell are states of consciousness, self-imposed, due to ignorance of God as all.


• Why Evil?
No original sin, no Satan, and no evil. Most believe people make "mistakes" when they are ignorant of the power of goodness, which is God, within themselves and others. Some believe evil is perpetuated through accumulation of past-life wrongs and spiritual ignorance.


• Salvation
Salvation lies in the realization of oneness with the impersonal life force. Awareness can be heightened through methods that induce altered states of consciousness, e.g., hypnosis, meditation, music, drugs. Spiritual "tools" include crystals, tarot cards, amulets, channeling, fortunetellers and psychics. Some believe the salvation of humanity will occur when a critical mass is reached, when people converge in experiencing their oneness with God and with each other. This will bring a New World Order or new Planetary Order, resulting in oneness of civilization and one-world government, peace, and harmony.


• Undeserved Suffering
Suffering is the result of greed, hatred, and spiritual ignorance in a person's, or humanity's, past lifetimes, which returns as suffering (karma). Suffering is sometimes viewed as occurring for a specific purpose, to further spiritual growth and learn a life lesson. Suffering is also seen as illusory, in that it results from attachment to bodily pleasure and pain, and only the universal life force within, God, truly exists.


• Contemporary Issues
Abortion is not condemned, as there is no official doctrine. Generally, adherents are supportive of a woman's right to choose abortion.

[pavlovs dogfood]

Agnostics are inclined to question the existence of supernatural being(s) or a force, e.g., the answer to whether or not God (or Deity) exists would be: "We do not and/or cannot know."

 

[Nancy Callahan]

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)

 

[BlackSymbiote]

I'll bet it's near impossible to score 100% on Nontheist (Athiest). But it's so easy to score 100% with the ones that have a belief in God.

Keeping everything at medium on the priority option, I went through and clicked every option that said "No God, or not sure" (which is a great way of covering their asses, isn't it) and Not Applicable for everything, and this is what I got:

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Nontheist (96%)
3. Secular Humanism (96%)

I then went through and clicked N/A and None of the Above:

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Bahá'í Faith (81%)
3. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (81%)

How the hell do you become a Liberal Christian when you click NONE OF THE ABOVE, but a Unitarian when you click No God? It's fixed I tells ya.

Here I went through and put Disagree with all the Agree/Disagree questions and selected "No God" on everything else:

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Nontheist (89%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (87%)

So essentially the highest ranking you can get in Nonthiest is 96%, at least through my experiments. Obviously they put the "not sure/not important" part to the "No God" option as a way of covering their asses and making people think it's impossible to not believe.

I'm a Baha'i for real. I don't agree with a few things from Sikhism (like keeping the hair long) and I'm not a Jew, I believe in Jesus, Muhammad, and Baha'u'llah. So i am pretty happy with my results. But only God can really give you a test like that
