They are not creators of the universe or incontrol of human destiny, and Buddhism denies the value of prayer and sacrifice to them. Of the possible modes of rebirth, human existence is preferable, because thedeitie...

The Buddha of Suburbia : Passage 7
enthralled (fascinated) by the punks’ energy. In fact, Ch. and K. feel small and thus uncomfortable: ”put us in proportion”. D. Why is this turning point in Charlie’s life? In the end, Ch. is completely excited by the punk’s movement, to the point that it downs on him that “they’re the future”; it’s kind of ironic because, on the one hand punk’s slogan was “No future”, on the other hand punks are going to be a part of Charlie’s travesty (that will bring him to fame).

The primary creed is that “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the apostle of Allah.” Allah has seven basic attributes: life, knowledge, power, will, hearing, se...
