I am not trying to impress you with the "facts" greg... ...i would never dare to do that. I am somewhat serious when it comes to perceiving other peoples little cherished dellusions though. they can be very destructive in the end , and only perpetuate "myths" that divide people from knowing the complete "truths" about themselves and their chosen beliefs, that in fact came from other teachers in other lands , centuries before... regards Mars

Of course Buddhism wants to claim Jesus as it's own, to lend it credibility, yet Jesus condemns, and directly contradicts, all the distinct teachings of Buddha. Talk about a fictional make over, hundreds of years removed! Talk about a fictional make over, hundreds of years removed! This must be the most blatant case of the pot calling the kettle black, Very honestly greg , sometimes when I read your responses I feel like I'm witnessing someone falling and tripping all over themselves in a desperate tumultuous tangle. I have no problems with the central core beliefs of Christianity. But , I think what you are trying to say is that Buddhists made up all these stories to emulate Christianity after Rome converted ? That they waited for almost 1000years to copy from all the many subsequent Christian embellisments to the "gospel " stories and later enhanced mythification ? This is really the highest form of denial and ignorance of history that I can imagine coming from a 20th century human trying to hide his head in the sand . It is completely the reverse case in the chronology of historical events. The teachings and stories of the Life of Buddha were extremely well evolved and advanced by the year 250 yrs before Christianity, in the Great Indian Ashokan Empire bartelby.com These teachings King Ashoka had inscribed in stone and put everywhere throughout the Indian continent and the Buddhist/Ashokan Seal remains on the flag of India today. When the Buddha died in the 5th century, there were literally 1000's of monks and disciples, Kings and Princes, that had direct contact with him in the 45 years that he taught his ministry . All 30,000 pages of the Buddhist Pali Cannon texts were already recorded and committed to writing by the year 30BC. But they were already known, taught and practiced , and changed one of the worlds largest Empires in 250BC and for centuries before. All a matter of History , Greg. You are truely in extreme denial and relying on blind faith , and desperate to prove what is not really important , but trying to invoke hostility for lack of evidence and historical fact. regards Mars
