All ideologies have self-serving myths and narratives which serve to insulate and isolate people within ideological communities, and to fold them back inside. Yours is no different.

I do find it interesting that you at first say that all religions, east and west, are alike. Then in order to prove a different point, you assert the exact opposite, that the difference between eastern and western religion demonstrates that they cannot have the same ultimate aim or foundation.

I never said all the religions were alike, I simply clarified that I wasn't talking solely about christianity. Any likeness between them is based on earthly actions and policies. The differences are mythology based.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
