I really like the Pew Forum and I'm not sure how many other religions might have had a different take on the questions, but is it really fair to ask a Buddhist (a non-thiestic Buddhist, not a ChrisBu or JewBu) how often they pray, how often then get answers to their prayers, or if they think more than one religion leads to eternal life? It's not a big deal, but still more evidence of why we should have a world religions class in high school. Heck most college age kids don't even know the difference between Sunnis and Shi'ites and we're over there shooting at them.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336284049302046478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30116234.post-80394904413182561832009-02-20T22:32:00.000-06:002009-02-20T22:32:00.000-06:00Not that I am endorsing King and I-style Buddhist ...Not that I am endorsing <I>King and I</I>-style Buddhist caricatures, but there are plenty of people on the planet who have a decidedly theistic religious appearance to their Buddhism.greenfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646826003797658563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30116234.post-23231331032541442009-02-16T01:17:00.000-06:002009-02-16T01:17:00.000-06:00I like my few preconceived notions I have left.

I find them, and send them to the glue factory as my Dad used to say. Something I found funny until I found out what he was talking about. Then I cried for a couple of days thinking about all the beautiful horses that were no more...<BR/><BR/>I actually believed in re-incarnation long before I found my way back to the path.Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586759980410037672noreply@blogger.com
