Give it a fucking rest, seriously.

Religion is made up to explain things we will never understand.

I dunno if you are reffering to Buddha? But Buddha suffered more than Jesus Christ. Jesus got off easy and died, Buddhist belief is that life is full of desire, and desire leads to suffering, and thus is full of tempotary moments of passion which are illusion, and the suffering is also illusion. And by departing through death, that is the weakest way to expell the illusion. So 'Buddha', would be one of the many who has found inside himself how to cope with the world, and has unmasked the illusions laid before him. Other religions deal with the later and past too much, such as Christianity. Buddhism emphasises on the now, and clearing a path to your happiness and purity.

Did you just gloss over that whole bit about Christ bleeding from EVERY pore of his body? It's not whether you believe this or not, it's what Christians believe. Christ felt pain that one cannot even begin to imagine in their deepest and darkest dreams. And not only that, he felt it throughout his whole body. So don't tell me that he got off easy. In addition to that, crucifixion is not a healthy way to die either.

I agree with you on meditation though, but if you believe in a personal God, then prayer is a great tool.

and from the context of ur post, i take this to mean that Jesus died to escape suffering? i assume u understand Buddhism quite well to create an argument in favor of it, but every time u speak about Christianity, u either say something that's misinterpreted or completely wrong. the fact that Jesus died to save everyone, alive at that time and those yet to be born, evaded ur mind altogether.

if ur going to talk against our religious beliefs, have some background in it.

Pretty much all disputes over the Internet are trivial...

for all we know,

that Mary could have just been a shagabout and blamed her pregnancy on an angel...

Which is probably true, they've found tons of lost documents either pertaining to the bible, or completely seperated from it. Regaring her and her "whoring ways". Turns out before she had Jesus Christ, or whoever the fuck he is, she was making money by selling her body. GG Virigin crapola. But whatever doesn't matter, for or all I know Mary and Christ never existed, it's just pieces of paper depicting the past and we are led to believe it.

EDIT: Cops, luckily for Christians the word Faith was created, which is pretty much an excuse to believe in the crap they want to with justification.
