Seal....
What dont you understand:
It is not about what I do or don't understand. It is for you to decide for yourself, which you have. Yet you want to make your errant decision everyone else's. No it is about what you don't understand, or actually comprehend would be a better term.
Silly mom playing with fire.
I guess Seal didnt understand.... should I write it out simpler
Yes do that so you can continue deeper into the woods.

Seal....
What dont you understand:
God is a gallon of Milk sitting on the counter top.
Prayer to the Gallon of milk and ask for the pain to go away in my neck.
Outcomes:
Pain goes away... Gallon of Milk has answered my prayers.
Pain remains.... Gallon of Milk has its reasons why not to answer my prayers.
Pain has spasms.... we don't always get what we want.. I don't question why.
Doesnt matter what you prayer too the outcomes will always be the same.
The God delusion.
Prove it isnt so.
Seal:
It is not about what I do or don't understand. It is for you to decide for yourself, which you have.
Houston we have a malfunction in our communications node.
Yet you want to make your errant decision everyone else's. No it is about what you don't understand, or actually comprehend would be a better term.
Houston, diodes have blown...... Does anyone have ANY intelligence around here?

In Japan millions of Buddhists pray to Amida Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light. They believe that Amida has created a Pure Land in the west and that those who have faith and repeat Amida’s name in prayer will go there. Yet they also believe that Amida is really within them.
A gallon of milk anyone? 
In Tibet prayer is going on most of the time. Tibetans pray in a special way. They believe that when certain sounds and words, called mantras, are said many times, they arouse good vibrations within the person. If a mantra is repeated often enough it can open up the mind to a consciousness which is beyond words and thoughts.
Chant anyone?

Angel, you are being sneaky 
Post the whole piece and not the last paragraph.....
Do Buddhists pray?
Buddhists don’t pray to a Creator God, but they do have devotional meditation practices which could be compared to praying. Radiating loving-kindness to all living beings is a practice which is believed to benefit those beings. The sharing of merit is a practice where one dedicates the goodness of one’s life to the benefit of all living beings as well as praying for a particular person.

Far better than believing in an Evil God that likes to destroy everyone at a whim.

The greatest way of showing who we are is how we live and how we love.
Edited to change love to live...whoops.

Nothing delusional about that mom. Dillusions come from pickled brains and worship a God that is evil in the OT and the NT. Why on earth would anyone support it! They dont have a conscious but then again there isnt any when having a delusion.

 It's beyond me.
They proclaim "There's nothing but the blood".
Why?
Why not "nothing but the love and compassion."?

How about these Dillusions...
The many faces of Buddha: (which is the real one? )
and why so many temples and made with gold, jewels and giant Buddha idols when their own people are dying even today? Just think how many dying in China right now would be fed just on a tear down of one temple!

Why are there Buddists right here that brag about their compassion and wisdom, and not over in China helping their own?
Why are answers always demanded from Christians when my questions go unanswered?

Angel, are you getting delusional?
How about these Dillusions...
Careful Angel.... Dillusional people believe in Compassionate God who murders the innocent.
The many faces of Buddha: (which is the real one? )
Only one "The Buddha" as you know but countless "Buddhas". Everyone is a Buddha or Awakened but dont realize it due to their "delusions". Or, better still "ignorance." 
and why so many temples and made with gold, jewels and giant Buddha idols when their own people are dying even today?
There are no idols in Buddhism. Leave that for you Christians to idol over your "Icons"
Just think how many dying in China right now would be fed just on a tear down of one temple!
Did you know that if you go to a Buddhist Temple they will house and feed you, free! With all the love and compassion that can abound. And no Evil God in the process!

Meanwhile religious psychos are steering people away from doctors including mental health professionals. Childred die. Adults die. Stupid people who believe prayers (magical incantations) work better than educated medical professionals.

SOC.....the Bible states in many places that there's nothing but the blood that can take away sins.
Tell you what, Angel, if I had unlimited funds, I WOULD be over in China and Tibet helping where I could. But since I am but a poor single mom I guess I have to stay here and show it to those I come in contact with while remembering my brothers and sisters elsewhere.
Donations anyone?

Sorry, thought China was a Communist State Yes, that is more like it "Them and us" true Christian "Equanimity" 
The Lord God says, "YOU WILL OBEY OR ELSE I WILL SEND YOU TO AN ETERNITY OF HELL!!!!"
So loving, compassionate and oh so wise!!!!
Why are answers always demanded from Christians when my questions go unanswered?
Sorry thought that is the way of the Christian Unable to answer any questions posed to them. All we get is spite and trolling

Well that's a poor excuse if I ever heard one, (believe me I have done my part). Christians have been helping all around the world for centuries; It's called organization.
Where are all the Buddha organizations that flea to serve others countries? There are none that's why because it's all about "self" and not about helping others in need.
Did you see the photos of "Buddha get's his very own Hollywood square"? Check out page 4 on the link I provided.

Christians have been helping all around the world for centuries; Helping how? Helping themselves to gaining converts by force? What exactly went on for centuries? Inquisitions? Witch burnings? Crusades? Blood Libels? Martin Luther's antisemitism? What kind of help is that?
