Thoughts on Buddhism

[Epimethean]

Carn, if we look at what xtians actually do as opposed to what they are supposed to do, we see that they prefer the OT, so let's look at their deeds. A book which proclaims itself as a standard is only as good as those who revere it, and xtians depart from it every chance they get. The bible teaches nothing. Man teaches, and if he uses the bible as a tool, but still lashes out at those who are different from him, his standard is his own conduct. look at my statement. It did not say that your bible teaches people fear and loathing (though it certainly does do that): It says that your religion teaches these things.

Shall we start with Charlemagne and the execution of the Saxons? Or perhaps the massacre of Jews in Germany and Poland in the 14th century? Do the Crusades (including the Albigensian Crusade) ring any bells? How about the Inquisitions of Spain and Italy (Cathars, anyone?)? Or perhaps the witch hunts of the 15th through 17th centuries? Hmmm, or maybe the murder of the Huguenots? What about that insidious fellow named Columbus? Good ol' John Mason? The list runs very long, and many others can be placed amidst the ones I have listed.
