I believe this is one of those common misquotes.
It was actually Buddha who said that
Misquote or not, it's a worthwhile one. I'm not religious in the least, but always thought the ideal of love your neighbor was a pretty good one. Even if they make noise after late hours and annoy you for reasons not just cause they are from a different culture.
Also yes I'm sure there are many quotes in the Bible that say otherwise but I think the idea of Christianity and new testament sort of surpassed many of those quotes. Not that many consider that, and I'm sure there's new testament quotes that go against it but I'll be honest I only was taught it in elementary and a bit middle school.
We need to get along if we have so many people around, is the idea I imagine. Not that they could imagine the cities of today.
Also Buddha's teachings are quite nice too. They have their issues, don't let their issues cause you distress but be helpful if you're able to. Least that's what I took of his teachings, also a good philosophy, least I think so. I did listen to a lot of Buddhist sermons and perhaps took some of them wrong but he appeared to be more live and let live, help others if they would like it, if not then no worries. If only all religions were similar to that.
I believe Buddha was merely quoting Hastur.
Who was actually quoting Abraham Lincoln, vampire Hunter
And time traveller. It's a crucial aspect of Lincoln lore too many people forget.
Ah yes, Abraham Lincoln, famous inventor of rocket jumping
Nah, this was Abe Lincoln paraphrasing Einstein.
I like the idea that Jesus spent the 20 years between debating rabbis and his own ministry going east on the silk road and learning Buddhism. I've always felt like base Christianity seems like Buddhist principles through a Jewish lens.
Some of that “time in the desert” eh?
It's been a while since Sunday school, do they mention "time in the desert" other than the 40 days when the devil was screwing with him?
I always wondered about his childhood. The bible practically goes from: Jesus born > Jesus is an adult, with very little in-between. It really bugged me as a kid - I couldn't relate to an adult, let alone to one that's supposed to be perfect. Also, how can a little girl be expected to care about bible stories when so many of them are just boring conversations between old men from ancient times? Sure, occasionally women appear. And sometimes there are animals. Noah's Ark's been milked to death in kids' bible stories, probably because it's one of the few stories in the book that's capable of actually capturing kids' attention.
But anyway. Point is, since Jesus's youth seems to barely have a record, you could well be onto something.
And Abraham Lincoln.
And that Abraham Lincoln? Albert Einstein.
