No, I only wanted to bad mouth Buddhism because it is mythology, and yet ignorant superstitious people still think it is true.

Nowhere in the core tenets of Taoisim are any deities or magical powers or god like creatures. If you read Tao Te Ching, the core book of the Taoists, there are no mention of any supernatural…

That is pretty funny, because if you take away the literal interpretation of the Buddhists dogma, what you are left with is a philosophy that looks much like taoisim.

So what you are saying is that all those things in Buddhism about the buddha gaining supernatural powers and transcending time and space were just metaphors?

So you say that it is not a correct statement, then list the chanting of sutras as one of the many practices.

Chanting is a pretty big deal in most forms of Buddhism.

"In Buddhism, chanting is the traditional means of preparing the mind for meditation, especially as part of formal practice (in either a lay or monastic…

>Ultimately, who started first really isn't matter, nor which one is more "correct" as it's all a matter of preference, in my humble point of view.

The Chinese have that whole "communism killed all our culture" thing too, so that confuses matters a bit. During the cultural revolution, literally every predominate religious, philosophical, scientific, and martial arts teacher was ordered to be killed by the Communist Party, and all their books and teachings were…

Really?I thought religion was belief in fairy tales that can not be proven true.

Mythology is what we call religion that we do not believe in.

Do you not know what the phrase 'more or less means'? It means 'to a small degree or extent'; It is true that Buddha may not have ever claimed to be a god, but bodhisattva are described as having god-like powers and omniscience knowledge.

The entire concept is based on the Hindu Vedic Deva; an ascended being who has…

What does your enlightened master teach about being an asshole to strangers?

So what you are saying is that Buddha learned the Truth?

Buddha was like "Hey guys, I found something really cool, it is called the Truth!".

And all his followers were like "Oh really? The Truth is great, and you must be a GOD for discovering it, so we will all worship you!"

Yes. That is what I said. Truth is Taoisim.…

I am an American, where a huge part of the population claims to be christian and worships nothing. How true you are, it always evolves into something different. ^^

Yes, my description of the events is an oversimplification. The page you linked lists Bhuddisim as circa 563 BC, and Taoisim as approx. 550 B.C. Confucianism as well started around the same time; all three were attempts to codify preexisting ideas into a unified philosophy. Bhudda did not find Taoisim per say, he…

The difference between Taoist and Bhuddist teachings are pretty apparent in meditations. The main meditation in Bhuddisim is a specific chant that Bhudda himself invented. The only way inBhuddisim to meditate is to mediate like Bhudda; the Bhudda is what is most important.

Buddhism is more or less Taoisim, except with dogma.

So, industrial dance music... with German vocals... and bagpipes...

He lives in Canada. Prison rape is a distinctly US phenomenon. Most other countries use prison as rehabilitation, not as punishment, and view letting inmates rape each other as barbaric and cruel. Not so in the US; everyone who gets incarcerated in the US is expected to be violently raped.

Considering I already have most of the features they are aiming for in the turn based tactics game that I wrote by myself, from scratch, in my spare time, over the course of a year, with a budget of zero dollars, I would say 500K is an entirely reasonable figure.

Sigh. Honestly, if I had half that budget I could easily…

From what I understand, Blizzard was actually commissioned to make a game for Games Workshop. Games workshop was shown the game, but did not like the gameplay, so they canceled the project. Blizzard then took the rejected game, renamed it Warcraft, and released it.

What is really funny tho, is after the guy who wrote…

That defeats the point of free to play if they force people to have to buy stuff.

I dono about that.... Hideo Kojima managed to made a really awesome movie. Maybe some day a Hollywood movie directer might manage to make a really awesome video game.
