Fairy tales last only the time that it takes to realize that they are just fairy tales.
Again, i am talking about something that goes over the tales.
Quote:You're sadly mistaken that religions are only concern about external worship. This maybe the focus of Judeo-Christian religions, but it is not for all religions. For example, Buddhism is a religion, and it focus on internal struggle of removing oneself from wants.
Let us not confuse the theories with the reality.
In theory Buddhism is all royal cream but how many people take it seriously?
Just go in any Asian temples and see what Buddhist do.
They chant few old mantras while holding in their hands sticks in incense.
Will they be able to remove themselves from wants?
You got to be joking mate.
