Christianity has remarkably similar roots to Buddhism. It is in my opinion, more than a coincidence. In the so-called missing years of Jesus life, from the age of 14-15 to approximately the age of 27, it is likely he traveled into India. There are many theories that point to such a journey, perhaps first with Joseph’s brother and subsequent trips solo. Regardless, the question that begs to be answered, is, did Jesus obtain his inspiration from teachers of a Buddhist sect??

Re: "Well thank the Jews for monotheism..."

Wow! Another "ism!" <g> As I said before, "isms" make me nervous.

As an aside, my worship of the True God is pretty much unrelated to rationalized theological ideas that are often associated with "isms."

Best wishes,
