How did you come to this conclusion?
"Actually we believe in No Self or Non-self"
So, you exist, or am I just imagining that you do?
Hey, google it! I am just the messenger.
Non-Self is a buddhist method for eradicating selfishness. It transcends the small idea if us being born sinners begging for forgiveness. Anatta is a teaching that says our ego, our self perception, our wants and desires, our self conception, is basically untrue, unfounded and unreal. This is what Buddha says. Take it for what it is. I respect the basic Christian intention to do good in the world but I don't think it has ever played out that way. I think Christianity is a dysfunctional religion. It is very convoluted and sad. You have to study Buddhism and be open-minded to it's spiritual wisdom if you want to be enlightened by it. It's all good!

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
