Satanic Temple Uses Goat-Headed Statue to Protest Ten Commandments Monument

[ThatOwlWoman]

Buddha gave a series of lecture called suttas.
The suttas are varied subjects and go into details. He was a traveling holy man after he became enlightened after meditating under the bodhi tree. youcan read the original sutta or you can look thru study courses that distill the meanings

And what is samma-vaca?” asks the Buddha in The Discourse on Mindfulness Meditation. “Refraining from lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, and meaningless speech.”

Thanks, I will read through your links; am always interested in learning about faith and also why we mostly seem to desire to have one. (And why then some of us feel compelled to use it as a bludgeon on our fellow human beings.)

I don't think that Trump follows the Buddha's teachings.

well you cant deal in armaments..but i've found it's best to be concerned with one's own path.

the idea of the path is it's a solution to the 4 noble truths
It was these four principles that the Buddha came to understand during his meditation under the bodhi tree.

The truth of suffering (Dukkha)
The truth of the origin of suffering (Samudāya)
The truth of the cessation of suffering (Nirodha)
The truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (Magga)

I am, too, getting Kennedy elected was a big deal.

We aimed for the bare minimum, and landed the bootlegger's son.

I remember my mother being thrilled. She loved Kennedy. I was young, but remember her talking about it with my aunt at our kitchen table.

Kennedy was a big deal in my family. they were all lifelong Maryland Democrats.
My parents were "block captains" to get out the vote. i sort of remember being dragged around the neighborhood for the 1959 election

Do you have a problem with Theocratic regimes? Governments that are based on 'Religion'?

Do you know what a theocracy is lol?

[Granule]

You're elevating one 'Lawgiver' above others.

Horse shit. There is no law in the ranks of Satanism, but one: Destroy God's law.

Satan is ‘the father of lies’.

Satan is ‘the father of lies’.

Exactly.

Satanism is indistinguishable from hedonism. They just want to have fun. All those stories about them killing and child sacrifice is shit made up to make them look worse. the ones I know are as annoying as the Christians.
