Hey all, Buddhist here

Post #1

Post by BlackFlag »

I'm 20 years old, I live in New York, and I'm a practicing buddhist. As far as the "God" questions goes, I'm pretty much an agnostic, though I do believe if there is a "God", that it would not only be the wrong word to describe it (I do not believe "God" is a sentient being).

Anyways, thanks in advance for welcoming me. See you in the fray ;)

Welcome. Which form of Buddhism do you follow?
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�
