If god can talk as we do, then god has emotions, and emotions are weakness. I would try to poke him with words to see where is his weakness. When he got so angry, i would throw a bamboo piece at him and run into the forest.

God to Panda power ratio would probably be insane, so there is no reason to try reasoning with him. I would be a bacteria in his eyes, and he would have nothing to wish from me. So i would just troll him and run away :3

Well god has emotion, I mean in fact he once was going to kill of the Israelites after they worshipped a idol. However the difference between his emotion and ours is that God does not act on emotion. Humans do. Emotion is a indicator, not a choice maker.

But i didn't say "god acts on emotion". It's even better if he doesn't act on emotions. I could make him angry for hours, and he couldn't act against me haha :D

Do you imply that god would take his revenge from me eventually? But, isn't this the definition of "acting on emotions"? You told me that god doesn't act on emotions, so it doesn't matter how many bamboo pieces i throw at his chubby face, or poke his butt with bamboo, he still cannot take his revenge or it would be acting on emotions c:

In all seriousness I do enjoy the fun things you would do to basically test god, although I cannot tell if this is a real conversation I'm having right now. Lol :rofl:

Oh, I was referring to Buddhist heaven. You can be reborn there no matter your religion or sexual orientation. There are gay and transgender thewada (gods).

You know, if you think about it, if there's no heaven and hell, Buddhism will be a little bit true, because eventually, in some universe far in the future, a brains neurons and neuron signals will be assembled in the exact same placement in the exact same positions as when you died, in a habitable body on a habitable planet, and you will be brought back.

I would ask God to let me live my life since I don't believe in one, nor do I find his/her existence or lack thereof particularly relevant to my life.

If heaven and hell were unreal then Buddhism would be untrue because belief in both is a major part of Buddhist beliefs. That sounds a lot like Eternal Recurrence rather than reincarnation. :p

Isn't Buddhism about rebirth, and then ending said rebirth with not existing?

People are born in different realms based on their past conduct, the vast majority being reborn in the ghost, hell, and animal realms, with a very limited few achieving a human birth and even fewer entering heaven. The human and heavenly births are the best because it allows you to meet a Buddha or hear the Dhamma and enter the road to Nibbana. This is one reason that generosity is so popular in Buddhist countries because charity means that one will be reborn as a deva and continue to benefit in future lives.

No, Nibbana isn't not-existing, that viewpoint was rejected with the other existential questions about what happened to the arhat after death (ancient Indians had four different categories: existence, nonexistence, both, and neither). Nibbana is a dhamma (phenomenon or reality) where hatred, greed, and delusion are wiped out and the enlightened one is unconditioned after death. There are a ton of different opinions about what exactly this entails, but nonexistence wouldn't apply.

A little bit true?The authors of Buddhist doctrines, if they were now, would be a group of excellent fantasy writers.Similar to the DND.The Buddhist universe is a Matryoshka doll universe.A thousand worlds make up a small one. A thousand small thousand worlds are called "medium thousand worlds"; and one thousand medium thousand worlds are called "great thousand worlds".Sanskrit is called tri sahasra Maha sahasra Loka dhatu.The six great divisions in the wheel of karma in every world,Three virtues:Heaven, humanity, Asura, three evil: hungry ghost, animal, hell.Look ,Their ideas are so amazing!
By the way, Buddhism originated in ancient India, today's Nepal. They advocate equality for all.All beings are equal. All things in the world can become Buddhas as long as they realize the true meaning of the world.Whether it's human, animal or Buddha. They are all equal

Okay then. But this was mostly talking about reincarnation, if it was taken literally and not just "your subconscious stores your memories but your main body forgets".

I think they still refers to the soul.The essence of life in samsara is still the same individual. But the data will be cleared during reincarnation.I personally think that the so-called subconscious is just an old storage space. The brain may exist in a garbage collection mechanism similar to JVM.

Not only did I think about Video games and the pandemic, but I thought about bigger questions like reality and God. Imagine this, lets say that you are part of the lucky few that can talk to your God/gods. That's right, not only talk to but ask questions and see him ( I say Him since I don't want to say It and its out of convivence ... my god does not have a gender at least in my beliefs)! So what would you ask God/gods? And what answer would you expect from God/gods. I would personally ask him what he does usually, since I kind of wonder that. I would assume he would say that he enjoys watching his creation and listening to their prayers . But that's just me.


depends on the god I suppose.
