And consider plenty of christians have converted to Islam some even having religious experiences that 100% convinced them it's all true .So why is Dirch special ?
Pretty simple, really. you must be really stupid to not see it.
Also because one religion resonated with the voices in his head does not mean just any one would .

This is what is known as an anecdote. Just because you wound up Christian doesn't mean the experience is typical of those who try it. Did you A/S/K Buddha first? Did he not answer?
which includes:
learning about enlightenment and the unchanging soul which can and does pass from life to life. (which to me was the only appealing part of this religion. and the 5 different types of self denial one must master in a given life to move past the cycle of life and death.
There is no a.s.k.-ing here. life lives are nothing more than a perpetual tests, to show one's devotion to become apart of a higher collective.. Not my thing. as i do not see the point in being forced to repeat the same mistakes over and over because of a personal flaw or to become apart of a greater collective.
Buddhism is to loose your individuality or to put off your core nature to be come apart of something bigger.

But again that force does not have to be God.
Quote:This is the same standard you ask of us, to A/S/K for the rest of our lives or we find God, whichever comes first. Why didn't you use that standard with Buddha?
again smart guy because that is not the requirement for Buddhism. it is only a requirement to receive the Holy Spirit, in Christianity. If and when you do decide to test other religions you must first learn what they offer in relation to what they expect from you. Can't cross contaminate one religious experience with another or you will doom yourself to fail.
IE you would not take the Islamic morning and afternoon prayers to Christianity or would not take the lords prayer to Islam.
