Don't let a couple bad examples ruin your experience if your truly seeking Christ. Take it up with the Man himself.

(Jan 3 06, 10:37)I'm not really seeking Christ. I was surrounded by the guy for twelve years of education. I left him behind honestly, as I find the Buddha as a far more elegant and eloquent spiritual wellspring. Everything in Christianity is about Sin, which at the end of the day is whatever you want it to be, in Buddhism, it's about dealing with suffering, which whil espiritual, is rooted in every living human's experience. Therefore, Budha dealt with real things, Jesus dealt with imaginary and arbitrary
"sins" that are culture and temporally specific...but hey, the Sermon on The Mount is great stuff...

(Jan 3 06, 10:57)Sorry bout that. I see where you're coming from, although I believe Jesus dealt with very real things. Murder, stealing, adultery to name a few ... I think are all rooted in human experience. Just turn on the news. Everything in Christianity is actually about salvation through knowing Christ. I only know (or think i know) the basics of Buddhism. What are some specifics real things that Buddha dealt with?
