Sacred Truths

The SACRED TRUTH IN SCIENCE IS THAT THERE ARE NO SACRED TRUTHS. Carl Sagan

In religion, however, the REVEALED TRUTH has yet to be REVEALED. As to when
exactly or how precisely it will be REVEALED, who the fuck knows? Poch Suzara

Buddhism and Science

"Doubt everything. Find your own light." "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Buddha (623 -543 B.C.E.) Indian spiritual teacher For my part, as an atheist, I love, respect, and admire Buddha. He cared for world sanity. He was always on the side of humanity. He cared for all life on this earth. His way of thinking had nothing to do with being bothered with a silly divinity out there; or by being frightened of a stupid deviltry existing everywhere. I have every hope, if science and religion will reconcile one day, science will reconcile only with Buddhism. Poch Suzara
