Mars,

Forgive me. I do not mean to come off as if I am judging buddha or any that proceeded him or came before. I do not mean to judge anyone because I could just as likely have been the one I judge. I was trying to point out that he left the key ingredients to joy and happiness in his pursuit to find those very things.

Regarding agape, I agree that those men have shown selfless love. However, the source that they and you look to is what I am referring to. You try and obtain by works. The god you look to demands acts in order to gain salvation. That is not agape. The God of the Bible, the One True God, meets us all on the lowest rung. We come to this God with empty hands not by any deeds. For there is nothing we can give Him that could possibly merit His love. He loves simply because it is His nature.
