And what have they to say of the eternity of the world? If all is change, and change is the only permanence, then we would have an infinite series of mediate events, with no beginning, and thus no possibility of causation. It is a metaphysical possibility to regress movement to infinity, since nothing moves itself.

If there is and must be a Prime Mover, then, would not this mover also have to contain, at least virtually, all the perfections found in the world? For it is s a principle that perfection can only come from greater perfection, not lesser. And yet we find the perfection of rational intelligences (or persons) in nature. So how exactly does the Buddhist escape any analogical nature of Personhood in God, or the One?

Why is this doctrine "normal", and Christian doctrine insufficient?

Buddha was a lazy entitled elite fuck who didn’t want any responsibility so fucked off to the woods for “solitude”

I wonder how he got so obese in the woods where he was not taking lives of “other beings”
