My reasoning was universal, I personally think buddhism woud be more benign in the west than Christianity has been (itself an Eastern religion in origin of course, Middle Eastern to be precise). But why have either, let's do something better...

"DECISION: however, in terms of murder-in-the-name-of, the Christians are far far worse than the Bhuddists. So both historically and now, Bhudda's followers are better behaved. Bhudda is therefore preferable."
I really don't want to argue this point though, it's a pointless battle. I just suggest reading a lot more on the subject.
Sorry, I'm in a bad mood and I see it's being conveyed in my messages, I mean no offense.
It's pretty obvious I'm stating my opinion there. I'm sorry if I've offended you, but if you're scared of people criticising your religion then maybe you don't have enough 'faith'.tolu said:Example:

An aside- how many times have you smoked DMT MoP? Did I misread you saying in another thread that you only smoke weed?

You're justifying your decisions/statements with your biased opinion..
Those are some strange assumptions you have made about me, quite funny too.ohayoco said:It's pretty obvious I'm stating my opinion there. I'm sorry if I've offended you, but if you're scared of people criticising your religion then maybe you don't have enough 'faith'.
And I've read the entire bible cover to cover (have you? I've yet to meet a Christian who has), as well as some of the deemed 'heretical' gospels like Thomas's, and as well as being taught all the BS that isn't actually in the bible since birth. The original Christians were alright- nice anarcho-communists- and Jesus was a dude. The rest are in general a horrific mass of hypocrisy (sounds stangely familiar to what Jesus said about his own religion at the time). My reading on bhuddhism isn't so extensive, but from what I've read and seen their followers are preferable.

I am making, assumptions because I'm on the defensive after your initial comments.tolu said:Those are some strange assumptions you have made about me, quite funny too.
You've done nothing to offend me, and you've missed the point of what I was saying.
