Todays Buddhist and Taoist teachings seem to be much more useful than Christian version. The 2000 years of "telephone game" propagated through the Catholic church seems to have been particularily twisted.

For example... when DID the pope supposedly start making "infallible" decisions? When DID the "holy spirit" supposedly start to "guide the Catholic church" as "the special bride of Christ"... presumably (in the special way, anyway) to the exclusion of others?

I mean, how transparent an evil are those ideas (traditions or divine proclamations?)... propagated to THIS DAY:

<Sodano's praise for Benedict as well as the church's 400,000 priests worldwide cranked up a vigorous campaign by the Holy See to counter what it calls a "vile" smear operation orchestrated by anti-Vatican media aimed at weakening the papacy and its moral authority.>

Papacy's "moral authority".... ummm, really? Via those infallible decisions no doubt?

Yet somehow the much of Buddhist and Taoist teachings seem to have avoided such ridiculous tampering. Go figure.

PS... Jesus & Lao Tzu said "be like the children":

I think they were right... smarter than any Pope.

So, if God had to pick a disciple... would it be R. Dawkins, or a pedophile priest???

Or, "who is closer to God"... Dawkins or the (pedophile)Priest?

The Buddha principles are great guides on how to conduct oneself and chart a course through life. Unfortunately they to became politicized.

you won't hear greg or saying this...

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." Buddha
