quote: Not that i am arguing your point... im not. I just found it curious that he would denounce Buddhism then come out for it after a book is written in the "new world" form. Perhaps he changed his mind? I haven't read a word from him so I can't give my opinion, but being able to change one's mind is a sign of being willing to evolve. - LA

quote: ORIGINAL: InvisibleBlack quote: ORIGINAL: LadyAngelika Atheism is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. Buddha was not a deity. Neither was Lao Tzu. They were essentially spiritual philosophers. In fact, Taoism was a philosophy until China turned it into a religion in the late Han Dynasty. I've never seen a contradiction between the original philosophical teachings Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism and Atheism. - LA But... but... what about the Taoist Crusades!? The War of the Three Buddhas!? The Confucian Inquisition!? Oh. Wait. Wrong continent. Nevermind... Funny guy. Actually there are a few wars documented in the name of eastern spiritual philosophies. Then again, you are going to find a moron or two in just about every segment of the society. The basis is that these philosophies call for resolutions of inner conflicts within the self and peaceful resolution of conflicts. - LA
