alright, then you shouldn't be too troubled. tolerant christians are fine. if you would read what you quote, you would see that i think christianity is a good religion, except for the 'covert everyone else' part and the 'all other religions are wrong' part ( refer to the ten commandments. i think it's 7 or something that says, warship only god. right?)
wow. 1000 buddhist parties. so that's like, what. one every 15 minutes? |

one a week. 1000 weeks. 52 weeks in a year. we'll call it about 50 weeks a year. 1000/ 50 = 200 years.
i doubt you're that old. and worship sounds too benign. warship sound more intimidating. like war ship. like, kill if you're on the wrong side of the guns. like, us vs. them. like good vs. bad... i don't bother myself with reading religious scripture. it's written by humans. i only skimmed the ten commandments to find out what the heck roy's rock was doing sitting in front of the courthouse of my state, saing to the world that i belive in what it says. |

I think then, it is quite clear that any insult he/she (? sorry) threw out was targeted at Christians who are too zealous in "spreading the faith". And about going to religious "parties" and/or festivities, which ones have you attended? I've been too a few of them myself... and I will tell you now that the ones I've been to wasn't very exciting... *shudders*. |

Buddhists don't have parties... It goes against spiritual enlightenment to have fun.

I hate it! I don't like the proffesor's attitude against a Christian boy. I wouldn't expect that though.

Speaking for Buddhists... A lot of 'em younger ones are pretty cool about it. Heck they make fun of themselves most of the time. Now, if you mean the older people getting offended if someone critique their belief, sure they do, but they'll do no more than turn a blind eye on him. Remember that Buddhists are supposed to be tolerant of other faiths. |

I have decided to renounce Allah, and go into the forests with the Samanas and find enlightenment and achieve Nirvana in this world instead of worrying about how many Virginians there will be in the next. |

Eh, the story was nothing new on cB, because I must've seen it at least 5 times in the "god" debate. It only turned into a debate because people wouldn't accept the fact that there are more than one truth when religion is involved. |
