Well , there are many forms of "knowing" certainly . And of feeling and loving .

The question really has to do with your love of the poor, disenfranchised , infirmed and helpless . I would submit many of us do all start out with this same "blessed" kind of innocent senses of egaliity, equality , caring & compassion . To despise the elitism and the selfish & hypocrites that design a world for their own satisfaction .

I would ask you then , that without a "Christ" or a religion , would you have found your way to these realizations still ? I would also ask you what the concept of "awakening" means in romans ? And how it differs from the Buddhist way of thought ?
Personaly , I think one word sums up Christianity and that word is -->"agape".

Interestingly enough , there is one word that sums up Buddhismand Hinduism which is almost the same in spirit called --> "ahimsa "

Why would an almighty God choose to differentiate , when the outcome of both is the same ? That is love and compassion..and lives well lived .

Jesus spoke of awakening , Buddha did as well . Please point out the differences here .
