Oh, Ish, if only everyone could allow it to be that simple!! The problem with Christianity is that it's VERY specific. You have GOT to label Jesus as the Son and accept him as the ONLY way to God. The happiness of mankind is not really the goal. I believe that it's a terrible thing to raise a child without the ability to make wise and thoughtful choices. It's like my saying to my boys,"Well, there are many ways to clean your room, but the ONLY way that hunts in this house is MY way, forget anything else having any possibility or validity." Now, I realize I'm being simplistic. But that's the problem. Where your solution is inclusive and accepting and loving, it just won't hunt in Emile's house.

"X, maybe we can agree that there is one God. Some call him Budda, some call him Christ, some call him Yehwea? Some call him whatever?Same God, different names, same wish, the happiness of mankind." Very very wrong. Christ is not the same of God as Buddha. Jesus is the One Eternal God who created all things. Buddha was a man who searched for God five hundred years before Jesus and claimed to have found him. The original Buddha claimed that he sought God with all of his heart and all of his mind and found him. His method was an authentic Old Testament method and I believe he probably found the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jaob. Remember, this was 400 plus years B.C.. The Buddhism of today has nothing to do with Buddha's original method. Buddha's original principles still work today because it is an eternal principle of God. The only difference between Buddha's day and ours is the fact that God has now come down in human form and identified himself. His name is Jesus. Buddha only claimed to have found the creator of all things. Whoever uses Buddha's original method of seeking God with all their heart will find Jesus, and not some vague universalist concept of God preached by modern Buddhism.. There is no salvation outside of Jesus
