I think the Buddha was real.
I'm fairly certain that Muhammad existed. I'm convinced that there never was a Jesus as described in the Gospels. |

Scholars unanimously agree that the Buddha existed. The same cant be said for Jesus.

Buddhists do not need Buddha to exist. This may sounds ironic but it's true.
Christians require a historic incarnation. Muslims require a blameless prophet who wrote the same Quran as we have today. |

Why do all religions ignore what Jesus said?
Jesus said: "Verily I say unto you until Samaritans dance with the Elflings and the Jebusites sway unto the molten honey of the Afrodiscoites, there shall no runcible spoon be given unto the house of fraser" -The Book of 1Spoons Why doesn't anyone take any notice of that saying these days? Maybe they don't believe it was divinely inspired but I DO so YOU should!!! |

In essence, magic squares are blocks of numbers which produce the same sum whether they are added in horizontal rows, columns or diagonals. There were seven primary magic squares, one each for Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and the sun and the moon. The numbers that made up the magic square of the sun added up to the sum 666. It was a reference to "the sun god", the "solar deity complex" and specifically the Solar dynasties of the Anunnaki god system. Most theologians accept that the Church of Rome which is basically the Church of Sol Invictus, became the symbolic antichrist which "caused all men to worship the false image of a christ figure." Theoretically, an antichrist is one who usurps the power of Christ. Today the Catholic Pope still maintains that he is the divine authority of God on earth and he claims the right to "forgive sin." Basically, the Church of Rome remains an institution that not only presents a false image of Christ, that specific Church attempted to usurp the power of Christ. 666 means "the sun god." It's meant the sun god from day one. It's even in the Kabala. Just Google "666, Magic Squares." There was plenty of info on it the last time I checked. I first got turned on to it's meaning back in 1971 by reading the books written by the English author, John Michell. He tries to make out like 666 is a good number, but I think that is a questionable idea. Never-the-less, the Masons who were responsible for designing most of the so called Chrstian Cathedrals throughout most of Europe dedicated all those buildings by the use of Magic Squares. They regularly built churches that were supposedly Christian and dedicated the geometry of those churches by redundantly using the geometry of 666 or some other magic square in their floor plans. Each of the seven primary Magic Squares stands for one of the seven major Pagan gods. Dedicating a church or cathedral by magic squares was essentially the very ancient tradition of the practice of pagan magic. It's all very strange stuff...and spooky to say the least! The belief was that by dedicating a building according to the geometry of a specific magic square, you were "calling down the spirit of the pagan god" that magic square stood for. |

As for living a "Blameless/Sinless earthly existence," no Christian is considered "sinless" accept through grace and forgiveness. |
