<<Michael, your point cannot be truthfully refuted by any on this thread. It is only the Christians that these people feel free to bash. They dare not say anything about Jews, Muslims or any other religious group for fear of being politically incorrect.>>
This is utter bunk, Chris, and you know it. I have written extensively here in the past regarding the polarization the Zionist Jews have created in Israel, and the bloodshed they caused, while supporting the Palestinians, who are mostly Muslims. I do think that original Muslim teachings have been perverted by contemporary conservatives, who are definitely abusive of women and children. I also have made it clear that if most Christians were following Jesus' teachings of love and tolerance, the world would be a far better place. Unfortunately, they have been sometimes corrupted and used by people who hate and exclude others. I see you are in the negative mode by calling others sinners. Not everyone has the same concept of sin, so it is a rude form of name calling, at best.
I cannot think of anything very negative that Buddhists do, but if something occurred to me I would feel quite comfortable talking about it here, since in my mind it is not individuals but blind adherence to belief systems which causes so much strife on this planet. |
