[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4135045, member: 18225"] I can see that. Though, I’ll disagree with the ‘concept of the ultimate power for good’ angle. Yah, ultimately, there is an unreachable void in our basic existence. Science only brings us so far, and the fact is some questions have no answers. It’s just not in my nature to solve those unanswerable questions by putting unquestionable faith into a book written two thousand years ago. I love the Rig Veda, and the Upanishads. Both the Bible and the Koran bore me. Buddha is my guy because all he’s saying is that your mind is crazy, but if you pay attention, you can gain a level of equanimity through introspection. No sky god needed. I will say, wherever and however people find peace with their own existence, whether through Christianity or Islam or Buddhism or Hinduism or 12-step programs or triathlons, whatever, if it works for you, stick with it.
