The only thing buddhists "serve" is a commitment to compassion. In this, they live their lives in accordance with the way of Jesus -- which, by the "way," is what "I am the way" means.

"I live in a place where the Buddhist religion is very prominent and find it very offensive" Do unto others as they've done unto you, right Chris? "Believe what you want but fie on you if you prevent someone from coming to Christ because of your assertions." It was fanatics like you and the Vermin that convinced me that it was a fairy tale. Your fanaticism only serves to reinforce the notion that I made the correct choice. Barb

Chris It is not only the comments about Bhuddism, but the vernacular you used. Look at it again, and tell me if that is how you meant to represent yourself....... Mark

Chris, The Buddha taught how to overcome suffering using love, compassion, joy and equanimity. Do you think teaching methods and techniques to reduce suffering makes one evil? Why do you think the Buddha is a wicked vile creature? Craig

Chris & Emile: Here is an interesting dichotomy that was just too good to pass up: Chris says: >I live in a place where the Buddhist religion is very prominent and find it very offensive to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Should anyone want to defend that devil it's their perogative but as for me I rebuke it.< Emile says: >If a Jewish community in Brooklyn desires to establish their public school as a Jewish public school they have the constitutional right to do so. If a Christian community in Missouri or La. desire to establish their public schools as a Christian public school, they are guranteed that right through the constitution. If a predominate Moslem community want to establish their public school as a Moslem based school, they are given that right by the constitution.< Now then, according to the logic of Emile, if Chris had children, those children would go to a Buddhist school, as Bhuddism may be the predominant religion in the area. How do you feel about Emile's logic, oh race tolerant Mr. Land? Emile, you wouldn't mind if Chris's children learned about Bhuddism in school, instead of Christ, would you? After all, you do believe in those words you wrote, right? HJ
