Buddhist spiritWhat are those?
Buddhist spiritWhat are those?
I think I'm more nontheistic, as in I don't care. Whether God exists or doesn't it won't affect my life in any way. Its not like God will come and fix my problems or even care about me at all, that's some heavy coping
Theravada Buddhism never denied the idea of a higher power from my understanding.Yes, but they are still atheistic because they don’t believe in a God who made the universe or controls anything.
I think their higher power is the laws of the cosmos, like karma, rebirth, etc. Theravada Buddhism says that no entity even exists in reality, and it’s an illusion. So a higher power wouldn’t be a person.Theravada Buddhism never denied the idea of a higher power from my understanding.
Buddhism does believe in different realms and dimensions, but you are reborn there due to karma and eventually die. Not really spirits because I thought a spirit is something that’s inside us that moves from lifetime to lifetime. There are formless realms in buddhism, but they have no kind of body at all not even an appearance of one, and also a rebirth destination.Buddhist spirit
I'm between atheist and agnostic. Depends on how I'm feeling.

Yes it’s not materialistic. I think the difference between Buddhism and most other religions is that in those some god helps you in some way but in Buddhism only you can help yourself at the end of the day.It’s complicated but regardless it is not materialistic and that’s still a higher power
Top KEK.Anyone who is not an atheist is either stupid or insane.
