Just to be clear those are not my words posted above... I consider myself lucky for around the age of 27 I actually read the New testament cover to cover and walked away with no religion.. No wonderment ... No big burning questions.. so I am totally at peace with all the religious stuff...
Having lived under different religions IMO they have all been bastardized by the keeps of the word... although I will say Islam seems to have enough wiggle room they can drum up a passage or a cause at will for a desired outcome....
I tend to like Buddhist (they are not all the same, believe me) if I have to live around religious folks ... They never got the turn the other cheek thing down pat (which is a good idea if you are subjugated by someone like Rome)... They may excuse or overlook something once or twice but after they voice their displeasure and the offense happens again, then the gloves come off...as it should be; again IMO...
