Politics and religions are very often an reason to start a WAR
How can one be an "honest to God" Buddhist?
How can one enter the serious discussion category, and ask pointless questions about semantics he understands perfectly well?
How can one assume what another understands perfectly well? For all I know you might be under the impression Buddhists have a God to be honest to.
After all, you're under some misapprehension that there is something inherently nonviolent about Christianity.
Actually Buddhism does not rule out God or God's per se.
you can actually cross buddhism with any religion you like. (which is why it became so popular, because it fitted in with existing doctrine)
The difference is that in a traditional religion. the God-head holds sole responsibility for your ascension to "heaven"
In Buddhism it is you yourself that is responsible.
Mike Cash, I opened a new thread to continue this off-topic discussion.
Is non-violence a tenet of the teachings of Christ?
Now back to the question: What religion are you?
What does this mean in English?As seen from the 大乗仏教 principle of 仏性, I can't not be a Buddhist, and I'm fine with that. Mark me down as Buddhist.
Then (forgive my ignorance) how do you mean "I can't not be a Buddhist"?
The poll is perfectly alright as it is. The question is What religion do you belong to? If you are either an atheist or agnostic you do not belong to a religion.
