WHY DOES BUDDHISM SOUND MORE LOGICAL THAN CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM?

Question

i find Buddhism to be more logical and rational than both Christianity and Islam.Buddhist teachings looks as if very close to reality where as Islam and christianity looks like fantasy novels.

Answer 1

I think it is one of the few religions I'd like to be a part of. Religion has been the cause of many wars - Buddhists are peaceful people.

Answer 2

The only logic I have is the miracles. ::D



I would still be in the Hospital, forking out thousands of dollars a month, while deteriorating further from my previous 'valedictorian' status if it were not for Christianity. Sure Buddhism is more serene and sound in many cases--but as I had previously based my entire life off of such eastern religion and spiritual practice--I have found no greater health and safety with any other God, deity, etc. than within that of Christianity.



Eh, I have such strong unwavering faith--I'm still very ignorant on the doctrine, but I know that that has changed my life is whom I will be forever indebted to. Even if there's no 'proof' of the existence of God and/or His Son. I need to thank some(thing)one. ::D



I BELIEVE IN MY MIRACLES, BRO.

And I believe that I have been off all 9 of my medications--and out of the Hospital for months, as well as the fact that I have instantaneously stopped experiencing unexplainable marks and pains in my body, in addition to the horridly uncontrollable nightmares. ::) Over night man--just gone, as if I didnt waste 4 years of my life suffering.

Answer 3

it's because, At the Moment your more interested in BUDDHISM ....



You do not know A to Z about Christianity....

It is easy for you to say you do, you may think you do. But you do not....Non of us do..We may think we do. but we do not....



Even the Apostles who were with Jesus as Christianity was being formed Did not understand Christianity until he sent the Holy Spirit to give them Wisdom. And at that , he needed to make Saul-Paul) an Apostles to help Peter , Who didn't understand how to reach out the the Gentiles.



Example

It was Paul who explained how Baptism replaces circumcision to the Apostles.



There is a deep meditative Prayer life in Christianity that most people do not know exist, Meditation of the Gospel



More importantly, God is our creator of our Spirituality (Our Soul) , Jesus our Savior from our fallen nature as Humans on earth , Protecting and saving our Souls. The Holy Spirit of the Lord our God abides in us if we allow it , All three are one God , deserving of all our love

Answer 4

Actually all prophets including Buddha , Mosses, Jesus and Prophet Muhammad taught only Islam in real sense. They all were sent to guide human beings in their respective society and prohibit social evils. The difference is that Prophet Muhammad came for entire humanity till the Dooms Day with a divine Book called Holy Qur-an which addresses all humanity.

Answer 5

Because they are



Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Buddha



“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Buddha

Western religion

[Creeds] have been the bane and ruin of the Christian church, its own fatal invention, which, through so many ages, made of Christendom a slaughterhouse, and at this day divides it into castes of inextinguishable hatred to one another.

-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Whitmore, June 5, 1822

Answer 6

I'm not sure it's more logical, it's just another religion. But the reason why it's getting so popular is because of its tolerance and peaceful tone. Which is enough for me to respect Buddhism.

.

Answer 7

I don't find bad karma a rational teaching or understand how it is more logical than the teaching of forgiveness for repentant sinners, via Christianity.



Proverbs 28:13



"He that is covering over his transgressions will not succeed, but he that is confessing and leaving them will be shown mercy."

Answer 8

Do you think so? Reincarnation? Its much gentler and more attractive than the Abrahamic religions but logical? I'm not sure.





Edit - No, nor would I want to. I am an atheist. I do not believe that reincarnation is any more logical than Heaven and Hell because when our brains die, we are gone.





Edit -"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

Interesting, doggy pastor - my respect for Buddhism has just increased.

Answer 9

It doesn't sound logical to me. Budda was just a man and his dead bones are now in the ground. Whereas Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit is alive today - you can have a living relationship with Him through His son Jesus Christ who gave up everything for you. You may have studied in a Christian school but why don't you get to know what the Bible says for yourself. Google the Father's Love Letter and know that it is for YOU!

Answer 10

Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a belief system and even if it is a belief system they do not shove their beliefs down people's throats.

Answer 11

Probably because there's proof that the buddha actually existed since his body parts still remain. Also because of this famous quote from the buddha: "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

Answer 12

I found it to be stupid. And I will tell you why:

It says that everything is a balance good/evil light/darkness etc.

But here is the tricky part. They believe light and darkness , good and evil are codependent. Science has proven that light can exist and be defined without darkness , but that darkness is nothing more than the absence of light. Similar approach can be made for good and evil. Dalai LLama said he would renounce his faith if he were proven wrong. I just did this. Why doesn't he convert to another religion?

Answer 13

Because it not based on myths and fairy tails but one mans experiences in the real world. The Buddha even said don't take his word for it make your own judgment for yourself.

Answer 14

you know what is Logical?



accepting reality and only believing in something because there is evidence or good reasoning supporting it.





Buddhism is like that??? ...... i don't think so.





however, i likes Buddhism just because Buddihism does not say about Hellfire afterlife. cheers!

Answer 15

Someone's had some Caps Lock for breakfast...

Answer 16

because it's a lie,a lie is more trust worthy than the truth,the truth is Jesus from the original Bible and the truth will never be revealed as a human logic one

Answer 17

They are more tolerant but not necessarily more logical.

Answer 18

It's trendier.

Answer 19

You need to look deeper.
