How to Save Yourself

Oneself, indeed, is one's savior, for what other savior would there be? With oneself well controlled the problem of looking for external savior is solved.

It is the same with studying for exams. can anyone other than yourself, study on behalf of youself? When you are hungry, can anyone eat on your behalf to alleviate your hunger? answer is no.

Dondontan SG

Got saviour save what for save yourself. Jesus is the saviour.

when you are driving 200 kmh on the road, can you pray to god to guarantee your safety, from crashes? hell no. when you are driving 200 kmh, you are more likely to get killed on the road, unless you decrease your speed to 80-100 kmh.

the saviour is me, myself and I

Man himself is the maker of his own destiny. He has none to blame for his lot since he alone is responsible for his own life. He makes his own life for better or for worse. Man creates everything. All our griefs, perils and misfortunes are of our own creation.

Christianity the main focus is God/Jesus.

Trolls, have you anything to debate on my above statement?

Rooney9 SG

Yes I know. god religion is a very old religion in fact. before the advent of christianity or Judaism, there are many religions with god concept. Hinduism has a history of some 5000 years old.

I don't know much about hinduism? Do they have a God to head it?

Hinduism not related to buddhism? I am confused.

Thank goodness you reply me and not bash me.

to me, whether one god or many gods, the concept is still the same. we humans are wierd. we have our latent potential to do wonders, why do we need to seek salvation from external sources?

I don't know. Different religions different practices and theory

Don't talk like that later the 3 stooges come after you.

mankind has come a long way since 2000 years ago isnt it. we now have aeroplanes, ships, spaceships even, trains etc etc. did god ever help us one bit, contribution to science and technology? no. not only did god did not help, but it hindered and spread superstitions to a vast number of people.

Rooney9 SG

so what do u think of the message I posted. interesting anecdote isnt it.

Oneself, indeed, is one's savior, for what other savior would there be? With oneself well controlled the problem of looking for external savior is solved.

Dondontan SG

I heard of God's miracles. God helped a few of my friends.

Anyway, the choice is ours to decide what to believe.
