Subject: RE: BS: You will believe anything if you believe
LH, I am a secularist, and I care about ethics, not religion or spirituality. Therefore, I don't find Buddhism to be superior to Christianity. Both have some excellent philosophical and mystical aspects to them, but for the most part, not. For the most part, it's all about doctrine, dogma, and divide and conquer. Organized moralistic religions, along with their pietistic believers, "faithful" have caused more human suffering and misery on this planet than any mad dictator from Attila the Hun to Saddam Hussein ever could.

I'm no more interested in Buddhist mythology than I am Christian mythology. All religion is some cultural groups mythology.
