Yes it reads just as i wrote it, both religions would be far better realized if they got rid of of the naive, petitionary superstitious trappings altogether. There is nothing supernatural about human weakness or the practical paths self knowledge & change any one individual needs to take. In the sense too much energy was found being wasted after promoting such superstitions of all that imagined supernatural afterlife, Buddhism would have been better off without the Buddhists just as Christianity would be far better off without God-waving fundamentalist Christians (& their counterparts Muslims & Jews)

I mention similar sexual morality and the punishment of wrong behavior and you veer off into the veneration of relics. Not what I wrote of at all. Buddhist and asians have very clear definitions of sexual mores to the point of being very conservative & so whats your point? This culturally goes back very far just as in most all human cultures, they do cherish women & have high regard & respect for the elderly so on & so forth. Did you just come to realize this? Also i'm rarely interested in what you write since most is cut n paste anyways, what i am more interested in is the typical evasion & lies, then exposing you for the ignorant fool you are. The referrence to religious relics was a bit of a take -off that just struck me ATM to pursue how clearly this demonstrates religion descending easily into sad superstition & ignorance rapidly. Do you think the pragmatical young sage Jesus would have approved people flocking by the 1000's to Abbeys & Cathedrals just because there was piece of cloth there or wood or bone carrying some mystical healing power? This kind of superstition & 1000s of other examples have been rampant & often promoted by the trusted high priesthoods to further their hold on the imaginations of the "faithful". The relics of superstition & fantastic generated histories can easily be woven into institutionalized ideologies too, like Hitler's "Aryan" race superiority which we see mass religion follows exactly similar courses too. Its exactly this pathway that one would expect Darwinism to predict, it flowed out of institutionalized superstition & hierarchies of priesthoods of "elect" forming that would promote them, plus protect these superstitions in selective scriptures written & wrapped in hidden tongues to gain obedience & blind following. One of the best examples of this would be "eternal", trust me Brumar you are not eternal or immortal nor did Jesus ever return.
