If you can't find anything remarkable in Hinduism or Buddhism then you haven't looked very hard.
Seriously! And I bet you 100 USD that none of the bible thumpers on this forum are capable of setting their prejudiced beliefs aside for A MERE TEN MINUTES just to read a Hindu or Buddhist text. What's that, you say? You already have and yet still your Christian faith is unswayed? Great. Now try reading it again and put your faith aside. I'm not asking you to forsake your beliefs. I'm saying take a bird's eye view. Lower your biased perception of the world, cast aside the walls of belief which you've blinded yourself for a mere 10 minutes! How hard can it be to take another person's view point? I am not a woman but I can cast aside the way I feel as a man to try and imagine what it might feel like. What's so hard about analyzing some text with an open mind? (No, with an OPEN MIND.)
Like I said, you have every right to your beliefs, but I find it upsetting that you must be looking down your nose at everyone else. Why not try to learn about where other people are coming from, and why they believe what they do. It might expand your horizons a bit.
I can't be thankful enough that you're a member of this forum, VeggieJuicer. Two big thumbs up. You took the words straight out of my mouth. Case in point, my post entitled the Dance of Chod which has received nothing but ridicule and persecution. "It's the work of the devil!" Comments like that, in my mind, scream unadulterated ignorance; they smack of one's inability to walk in someone else's shoes.
I really do sympathize with people whose eyes function yet are still blind.
