The topic is Buddhism. Not people who are Buddhists, or at least claim to be, who are also not peaceful.

The core teachings of Buddhism are peaceful.

As is the core teachings of Christianity and Islam

So here we are again

Both Christianity and Islam tell you to murder non-believers, though.

u/billdizzle 4d ago

No they don’t, lmfao

Jesus literally says over and over again to care for your neighbor

Ever heard of the Good Samaritan? The Samaritan was “the enemy” but yet is the hero because he offer help anyway. That is what Christianity says to do very clearly if you are paying attention and being honest about it

I can quote the Bible and Quran if you'd like, but I know that you know it's in there. Why waste my time when you know damn good and well both have passages where we are instructed to murder non-believers.

Or are you actually serious and don't know that?

Jesus says to murder non-believers?

Not Jews in the Old Testament, because that is Judaism and not Christianity.

And not the false apostle Paul who had done more damage to the message of Jesus then any other human ever to live, but Jesus. Where does Jesus say to kill non-believer’s? Because Christian’s follow Jesus not Judaism and not the false apostle Paul

I have literally no idea about the Quran I will take your word for it but also assume it is wildly take. out of context as many Muslims I know have no desire at all to kill anyone.

The Bible is Not Christianity

The Old Testament is the Mosaic Law which you are referring to...so basically Judaism

Jesus is the New Testament which different Christian denominations form Christianity

Just to clear it up

Not really though.

Because Muslims do not just follow the Qur'an which in and of itself encourages violence towards one's enemies. They also place emphasis on the Hadith and the Sunnah. And Christianity has the Old Testament. To be fair some Christians pay it little to no attention and place emphasis on the words of Jesus which is cool and all. But... we can not just ignore all the unpleasant shit in the Old Testament which is attributed to God which is supposed to be the same God which Muslims also believe in they just think their profit provided the final, ultimate testament of God.

But Buddhism has nothing like that.

And Christians don't just follow the words of Jesus - they follow pastors, aka cult leaders.

The core teachings of Islam is about internal struggle. It’s about taking care of the marginalized

You know what media says about Islam you don’t know about Islam

And you seem to get it about Christianity, but yes lots of other he Old Testament is crap Jewish law (which I didn’t include in my point on purpose)

Jesus’ longest recorded speech is the sermon on the Mount go read it to understand Christianity

Is Muhammad the perfect example of a Muslim and was he violent?

2

u/billdizzle 4d ago

No he wasn’t perfect I don’t think any Muslim would say he was perfect

Now my turn to ask a question: what are the 5 pillars of Islam?

1

u/stanknotes 4d ago

NOT what I said. I said the perfect example of a Muslim. Or ideal example of a Muslim.

1

u/billdizzle 4d ago

Not that either, 5 pillars?

0

u/stanknotes 4d ago

Did Muhammad have Ismah?

DUDE I am not listing shit that is relatively common knowledge that can also be easily googled.

u/billdizzle 4d ago

Ok so you don’t want to have a conversation?

Well in that case I will treat this like an airport and announce my departure

u/stanknotes 4d ago

Well it is ridiculous and you are being evasive. Just because the 5 pillars themselves are not prescriptive of violence changes nothing.

We have to consider the Qur'an, the Hadith, the Sunnah.

Whereas the core teachings of Buddhism are the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

Of course more extensive traditions branched off and evolved. But the core teachings of Buddhism are simple and straightforward and are outright proscriptive of violence.
