I didn't say I followed Buddhism, just that I respect it. I cannot respect Christianity. That religion has brought to much pain to this world. I seem to remember Jesus preaching how he would separate the wheat from the chaff, and the goats from the sheep. You don't need Jesus to be good, and to do good. Perhaps not all Christians are bad people, I will give you that, but we atheists are not necessarily the baby eaters that practitioners of your religion make us out to be.

I respect the Buddhism faith. I have no respect for christianity.

hehe I think he would be right at home with them too lol... It was in Afghanistan (The Buddhas of Bamiyan ) when the Taliban was in power.

Well, we’re not the enemy, Pat. Buddhists are concerned with eliminating suffering, and deepening and harnessing our compassion. For ourselves, and for others. Including you.

Or at least we’re trying. And those statues of ours? All they are to us, really, are reminders of that. Those statues help us to think about and re-engage with our motivation to eliminate suffering, and to deepen and harness our compassion. You can destroy them, but it won’t change a thing.
