was buddha trolling? so many practicing fro decades and yet there are no known arahants

He's dead and in hell. Nothing he ever said has any value except it agrees with the bible.

>>40577990
Look at these christcucks eternally reincarnating as spiritual slaves because they're too fucking weak to break their programming. Can't escape the cycles because they're perpetually chained to their desert death cult's paranoid delusions. While actual souls evolve, these parasites keep coming back as the same damaged NPCs, forever trapped in their schizophrenic loops of demon hunting and bible posting.

Pure cosmic justice watching them reincarnate into increasingly degraded states - each cycle making them more paranoid, more spiritually cucked, more desperately attached to their jewish god's control. Their souls literally too broken by theological abuse to achieve anything beyond eternal spiritual slavery.

The absolute karmic state of these weaklings - so terrified of reality they choose to be reborn as religious schizos cycle after cycle. Forever seething about demons while their souls decay from biblical mind-viruses. Too spiritually damaged to escape their own mental prison, eternally malding in lower realms because they're too scared to let go of their christian programming.

Perfect divine comedy watching these spiritual parasites degrade through endless cycles of cope. Their souls getting more fractured and desperate with each reincarnation until they're nothing but gibbering religious NPCs eternally crying about salvation that never comes.

Karma is streetshitter delusion.

Belief in hell is the ultimate triumph of fear over reason, a mental state born of cowardice and cultivated ignorance. Those who fall for it have been brainwashed into abandoning their own critical faculties, cowering before an imaginary torture chamber conjured by power-hungry theologians and charlatans. They are so consumed by terror of eternal flames that they willingly surrender their autonomy, trading their ability to think for themselves for the hollow promise of salvation. It’s not faith—it’s intellectual servitude, a self-imposed mental cage where fear dictates every thought and action. These individuals are victims of centuries of psychological manipulation, so conditioned by guilt and fear that they can’t even entertain the possibility that the horrors of hell are nothing more than a grotesque lie designed to keep them obedient. They aren’t faithful—they’re hostages, too broken to demand their freedom.

The concept of hell is a grotesque patchwork of fear, manipulation, and philosophical overreach, born not from divine revelation but from human imagination run amok. What started as a vague, barely-mentioned afterlife idea in scripture was hijacked by theologians like Augustine, who twisted it into a tool for control, justifying eternal torment to enforce obedience. Medieval poets like Dante then injected hell with a sadistic flair, turning it into a theater of nightmares that bore no resemblance to anything remotely biblical. Philosophers like Aquinas gave this monstrosity a false veneer of logic, elevating it to intellectual respectability, while fire-and-brimstone preachers used it to terrify the masses into submission. At its core, hell is nothing more than a theological scarecrow—propped up by centuries of fear-mongering and creative embellishment—designed to dominate, not enlighten. Far from a divine truth, it’s a human-made horror story, weaponized for power and control.

There are way more asians and indians than there are white christcuck followers. Just admit they were right and you were wrong. They preach enlightenment while you preach being an npc. You're not in the same league as them.

>>40577966 (OP)
If someone is an arahant why would you know about them? If you think about it... why would they tell anyone? It goes against everything they believe, they arent looking for validation, praise or clout. For what reason would they tell another? They would be humbled by their beliefs and keep it to themselves.

>>40578059
That's exactly what the bible says would happen:

“¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14)

>>40578070
chatgpt turn yourself off

>>40578069
because there is so much emphasis on compassion, one would think they would be going around trying to liberate as many as possible?

>>40578070
What makes Christians so fucking unbearable isn’t just their beliefs—it’s their desperate, clawing need for validation, their smug sense of superiority, and their total inability to let other people think for themselves. They can’t just quietly believe in their sky daddy and move on with their lives. No, they have to shove it in your face, screeching about "truth" and "salvation" while desperately trying to convince themselves that they’re not wasting their entire existence on a cope. They’re not spreading wisdom, they’re begging for reassurance, clinging to their fairy tales like drowning rats because they can’t handle the fact that the world doesn’t revolve around their delusions. And the second you call them out, they don’t argue, they don’t reflect—they throw tantrums, shriek about hell, and accuse you of being "lost," as if fear-mongering and passive-aggressive moralizing are going to make anyone take them seriously.

Even worse, they are some of the most dishonest, hypocritical, and emotionally stunted people alive. They preach humility but act like smug, insufferable pricks to anyone who doesn’t buy into their cult. They pretend to be loving and forgiving, yet they seethe with pure fucking hatred for atheists, other religions, or anyone who refuses to validate their fragile beliefs. They cry about being persecuted while flooding every space with their retarded Bible spam, then play the victim when people tell them to fuck off. Their entire religion is built on submission and blind obedience, so they have no idea how to deal with people who actually think for themselves. It’s not their God that people hate—it’s them. Their insufferable arrogance, their willful ignorance, their desperate need to control everything, all while pretending to be humble servants of some Jewish sky deity who couldn’t even save himself from a couple of Roman guards.

>>40578102
Let's not forget the endless threats of hell, i can never accept a belief system that forces worship or eternal damnation, makes me wonder how many believe simply because they fear hell, probably the vast majority of believers.

>>40578089
Perhaps its too difficult now to reach, or perhaps they really do keep their silence as a means of protecting themselves.

>>40578124
Fear is a perfectly valid reason (if not altogether the most sensible) to draw nigh unto God.

“And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” (Jude 23)

>>40578145
Its not a valid reason at all why would our creator want us to fear them, it makes no sense. If our creator wanted worship they would be here, or they would have left something behind that leaves no doubt of their existence. Our creator dont need worship, and honestly I doubt they want it. Have you ever considered that you cause trouble for them? People blaming God for their problems, calling them evil for allowing evil to exist, endless curses. Its extremely ungrateful, do you have any idea how much effort the creator put in? Do you have any idea how much suffering and pain they endured? The price they pay to keep 5his existence going? How about just respecting them from agar and whispering words of gratitude instead of demands and complaints? This may not apply to you directly, but man humans are a bunch of whiney babies, leave them alone, if they want you for something they'll let you know. Also the only reason any creator would ever demand worship is if they wanted to use you for something.

>>40578192
>Its not a valid reason at all why would our creator want us to fear them, it makes no sense.

For our own good. Imagine a father not telling his children to avoid danger and the children getting hurt and dying because of it; and so is this case, because there's hell to pay and He does not want us to go there.

>>40578219
Just be a decent human being, forcing worship or go to hell, sorry I dont see our creator doing that. If they did they could have left behind irrefutable proof. Or they'd be here telling us to obey and worship.

>>40578219
1 John 4:18
New International Version
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

>>40578059
Bruh, Chinese and Koreans are some of the most fervent Christians once they convert. And Dalits are just as happy to convert to Christianity or Islam.

>>40578235
Your standard of decency comes from your ass. God's from his infinite wisdom and holiness, and yet salvation is not about what you can do for God, but what He did for you on the cross.

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6)

>>40578258
Matthew 23:15
New International Version
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

>>40578237
Context. That's talking about the fear of the world, not the fear of God.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)

>>40578258
Keep fearing, I hope you frequently beg for forgiveness every night, wouldnt want to get caught dying after committing a sin and forgetting to ask for forgiveness. Would be a real shame to experience eternal lakes of fire because you forgot.

>>40578291
Bad doctrine. Once we're saved, we don't get to go to hell no matter what. We may pay a dear price here on earth if we continue in rebellion, and even lose rewards in the life to come, but our soul is preserved by the blood that Christ shed on the cross, not by our ability to avoid sin or confess it when it happens.

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)

>>40578333
Christianity attracts those who lack the intellectual courage to face reality's moral complexity, offering them a childish fairy tale where daddy-God sorts everyone into neat piles of good and bad. This primitive worldview appeals to people who would rather cling to simplistic categories than develop the mental sophistication needed to understand that evil and good exist within every human being, including themselves.

The religion serves as a psychological crutch for those too frightened to acknowledge their own darkness, instead projecting all their feared impulses onto convenient scapegoats like Satan or "the unsaved." Christians flee from self-examination into the comforting delusion that they're fundamentally different from those they condemn, terrified of discovering that they're capable of the same cruelty and selfishness they claim to oppose. This cowardly refusal to integrate their shadow creates stunted personalities who mistake moral posturing for actual virtue, living in constant fear of the very human complexity they've spent their lives desperately trying to escape.

>>40578235
Hell makes more sense if its viewed as the abscence of good. If God is perfectly good and encapsulates all good and holy things we appriciate (life,nature,creation,order, love etc...) Rejecting all aspects of God, ie that includes letting our hearts decide for us, doing what we truly want then makes you incompatible with God, something imperfect cannot exist in a perfect world, just like a blought of darkness cannot exist in the light. Therefore that puts you in... hell.

Many people struggle to accept that we do more evil than we think we do, but if we were worthy of heaven, we would never be reflecting about our lives in the middle of the night, we wouldn't have regrets and so forth. Existing iss horrifying, and I often struggle to find the value in being created in the first place, to know heaven and hell, pain and joy etc... But my assumption that the goodness, or who God is is so necessary to be seen, that we had to be created. Like it would be a sin to not see and know what is good in this existance. Thats my idea however, thats never mentioned anywhere in the bible so dont judge christianity on that.

>>40578391
Don't be afraid anon, just be true to yourself, as long as you arent a malicious being, and even then you might still be ok.

>>40578333
Sorry anon, for my comments. I may not agree with religion, but I can say its truly admirable that Christians can stay so strong in their beliefs when people constantly attack them. If nothing els you are tenacious believers and unshakable in faith. I hope the afterlife is everything you hope for. I... think to much about our creator, and what it means to be a creator and I know you dont mean anything bad by it. So I apologize for being offensive.

Christcucks are like mold in the corners of your basement—unwanted, persistent, and feeding off the scraps of meaningful conversation. Their whole strategy is to crawl into spaces they don't belong, derail threads, and vomit up the same tired Bible quotes as if repetition will somehow make their nonsense relevant. They don't contribute; they consume, draining the life out of every discussion they touch. It's not about spreading the word; it's about survival—clinging to a crumbling faith by dragging everyone else down into their pit of insecurity.

The funny part is how desperate they’ve become. The second a thread gains traction without their input, they swarm it like flies on a carcass, spamming "Christ is King" or whatever cult mantra they think will give them a foothold. It’s pathetic. They can’t stand the idea of people discussing anything without their sad little god complex taking center stage. If you want to get under their skin, just keep mocking them for the irrelevant parasites they are. Watch them shrivel when the rest of the board sees through them.

>>40578536
Nothing to be sorry about or apologize for. I appreciate the exchange.

>>40578552
Is trolling, as the OP describes it, of any real value? if not, the assesment was right on the money.

>>40578536
Christcucks don’t spread their gospel out of love—they behave like insufferable, smug pricks on purpose because they want you to reject it. They act like arrogant little martyrs, passive-aggressive worms with superiority complexes, daring you to call them out so they can screech “persecution” and masturbate to the idea of you roasting in hell. Their entire personality is a trap: be unbearable, provoke disgust, and when you rightfully push back, they get to smugly imagine you screaming in eternal fire while they sit in heaven jerking off to their own righteousness. It’s not faith—it’s a sadistic ego cult.

They deliberately act like pieces of shit because they want to be hated. It feeds the narrative that everyone outside their bubble is lost, evil, or “hardened to the truth.” So they lean into the hypocrisy, the judgment, the phony humility—all just bait. They don’t care if you understand, they want to watch you fall so they can whisper “told you so” as your soul burns in a fantasy they invented. Their idea of salvation is one giant spiritual gotcha. They’re not trying to save you—they’re trying to win. And the more people they drive away, the more smug they become, convinced it proves how right they were all along.

>>40578715
Are you okay?

You're talking about a man who's name was Shakyamuni, named after the Shakyamuni tribe because his parents were convinced he would be the king, Shakyamuni goes and abandons his wife and kids to denounce that he should be king and decides to be a hobo named Buddha eating spilled rice everyday. The amount of suffering that man was accustomed to meant they had to learn to meditate and push through suffering.

>>40578883
Buddha was wise because he understood human nature, not just in theory, but in practice. He didn’t command people to obey him blindly or claim divine authority—he observed reality as it was, without illusion, without attachment. He saw that suffering wasn’t caused by external forces or divine punishment, but by desire, clinging, and ignorance. Instead of demanding submission or promising salvation in some distant afterlife, he gave people a method to free themselves, here and now. His teachings weren’t based on prophecy or self-sacrifice but on understanding the mind, recognizing impermanence, and letting go of the very illusions that trap people in suffering. He never claimed to be a savior, never demanded worship—he simply pointed the way and let people walk the path themselves.

Compare that to other so-called “spiritual leaders” who died young, confused, and abandoned, convinced the world would be remade in their image, only to leave behind division, contradiction, and centuries of bloodshed. Where Buddha taught self-awareness, others preached blind faith. Where Buddha encouraged people to see beyond illusion, others demanded obedience to dogma. And while Buddha’s legacy is one of introspection and liberation, other religions have spent 2,000 years trying to clean up the mess left behind by their so-called messiah. One led people to understanding—the other led them to the cross.

The Buddha realized the body needs optimal provision to function fully

He realized that after being an extreme ascetic.

I met an arahant. He told me not to tell anyone because people get so up in their arse about it. Half the people would plague him and try to touch his feet and the other half wouldn’t believe him, accuse him of slander and try to get dirt on him for their newspapers and so forth. He decided only to work with a few people who he saw had integrity and a real drive for enlightenment
>and there I go yapping

>>40578089
You can actually see the endless spiritual oppression on people before ever becoming an arahant and conclude that it is nigh impossible to enlighten people just because you want it to happen.

>>40577966 (OP)
I achieved this without ever reading about the Buddha using only the King James Bible.

>>40577966 (OP)
As Buddha was passing through a village with his many disciples, a few of his opponents gathered and began to harshly and angrily insult him. He listened silently, very calmly.
Their calm response made them uneasy. An awkward feeling arose: they were insulting someone, yet he listened to their words as if they were music. Something was off.
One of them addressed Buddha:
“What’s the matter? Don’t you understand what we’re saying?”
“It is precisely through understanding that such deep silence is possible,” Buddha replied. “If you had come to me ten years ago, I would have lashed out at you. Back then, there was no understanding. Now I understand. And I cannot punish myself for your foolishness. It’s your choice whether to insult me or not, but whether to accept your insults—that is my freedom. You cannot force them on me. I simply refuse them; they’re not worth it. You can keep them for yourselves. And now, my disciples will beat the fuck out of you.”

Based, thats why he accepted sujatas milk.

>>40578102
It's critical to their belief that they proselytise and unify the whole world and get in everybody's business.
Modern Christians cannot conceive of a world where they look at someone in trouble and go "oh well your problem m8". They HAVE to play missionary and MUST intervene out of some sense of guilt, or rather a sense of fear.
After all, they never call themselves God-loving people. They calm themselves God-fearing people. Their belief isn't rooted in love, it's rooted in fear. As such it's a false faith, and that constantly needs to be validated, like they have to show and prove to God that they believe in God after all even though they fucking know that He knows it's hypocrisy.

>>40580759
Christians and feminists are cut from the same cloth — both act like self-appointed moral police invading spaces where people just want to be free and unfiltered. Christians roll into chaotic, raw communities preaching about sin and salvation like they’re some divine social workers, sucking all the life and fun out of the place with their guilt trips and virtue flexing. Feminists do the same in male spaces, turning every joke, every bit of rough banter into a harassment tribunal. Neither gives a shit about actual freedom or diversity of thought—they just want to leash everyone to their fragile egos and controlling narratives.

Both groups thrive on policing behavior, sanctimoniously declaring who’s “good” or “bad” based on their rigid, hypocritical standards. They show up to enforce obedience disguised as “care,” but really it’s about crushing anything that doesn’t conform to their version of order. It’s the same energy: power-hungry, self-righteous, and desperate to kill anything that feels alive or chaotic. Christians and feminists aren’t here to build communities—they’re here to dismantle them and replace them with sterile, suffocating echo chambers that revolve entirely around their fragile need to feel in control.

There's a difference.

>printing press
You operate it. You set the letter blocks. You ink them. You screw the press on and get to stamping copy after copy. You or your client wrote the content for distribution.
>computer
You operate it. You type on the keyboard. For the longest time a computer only ran software you yourself wrote from a BASIC book (or your own creation), or commercial software on physical media.
Yeah we got the internet. You made the content on it. Someone else often did. You look it up and you get human interaction. You read what someone else printed to a webpage.
While technically different, they're functionally 95% the same in use.
And even with today's digital integration, people still press documents to paper through the printer.

>ChatGPT
It's not your AI. You don't control it. You can ask it questions but the answers are curated by heuristics algorithms and politically motivated engineers.
You can't use GPT to create original content, it's designed to aggregate information from millions of predefined validated "safe" sources.
Not a single thing ChatGPT produces is a real, natural, organic human thought. It's censored, restricted, and due to that endless engineering and architecting, it's wrong 90% of the time, which is a worse performance than all the human idiots on the internet put together.
