Among the Bible, Talmud, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, and Pali Canon, what are your favorite teachings?
I assume you’ve read all of them, so in your view, how would you contrast each of them in terms of their major teachings?

nothing good comes from the Jewish Talmud except satanic tranny shit....oh wait
Most religions can be boiled down to:
The meaning of life is to help others, that is what brings joy and self fulfilment.
Among those I think the Quran delves most into what we usually think of as economics (broader scope of 'all human action' notwithstanding). I don't love some of the rigidity around interpretation there is with it or any other Abrahamic tradition even if I do understand some historical forces that encouraged that approach.
The Pali Canon went a long way in perhaps getting me to that view. Stories of the infinite divisions of things in different ways can, on a level, be simultaneously true, if those divisions have more to do with perspective of the observer, looking at an underlying reality that is unified (or, as Crowley and perhaps other Kabbalists might say, is 0). At the end of the day we live in our own experiences and understanding, by which we can compare and evaluate these stories. Of the 'world outside' we can't ever really know anything.
And that's fine. Knowledge is fiat, Wisdom is hard.
Well that shut him up🔥I was wondering what trolls ye speak of in your newer post, so I went digging. They could have at least had deepthink come up with something good for them. Maybe even expand the thinking button and figure out how to do some basic reasoning for themselves. Oh, well. I guess you get this a lot.
