This thread reminds me when my ex boyfriend spent two months pretending he was Satan... It was absolutely dreadful. That boy was such an idiot...
Stupid, stupid boy.

'buddha is my god aspect'

Well it depends on what they mean by aspect...

Every buddhist is trying to reach the same state of enlightenment as buddha...

And Buddha is not a god.

What is a god aspect?

And Buddha is not a god.

That depends on the sect of Buddhism, the definition of divinity etc.

Within soft polytheism the idea is that there is One or sometimes two sources of deity, which present to different people by different names.

The person who said this wasn't a Pagan (obviously) but it's still pretty awful. A person had asked how a person defines a Pagan:

"A devil worshipper.

1: heathen 1; especially : a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)

2: one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person"

And unfortunately, this guy got "Best Answer" too eek

In other news today, faith in humanity drops to hanging on by the skin of its teeth....

There are some traditions that worship him as that, true. From what he's said, though, Buddha did not wish to be worshiped as a god. He said that gods will not help man and that we must tend to our enlightenment ourselves (he did not address whether gods exist or not). The only part of the definition of divinity that I think could apply to Buddha would be: "of superhuman or surpassing excellence"

At least from the books I read and classes I attended. If there are any original documents that you've read that support otherwise then I could be wrong.

Well, it isn't so much a function of what Buddha said, but what god has come to mean.

Between Theistic, Deistic, Pantheistic and Monistic ideologies, the use of god could be applied to Buddha, and really- anything that has escaped the birth/death/birth cycle.

Mostly as a function of Transcendental Monism.
