Its really quite interesting how much all of the major (and minor) religions have in common.
For me, it would take a lifetime of study to get down to the bottom of this problem, and such time I do not have.
One thing I have noticed over time is the difference between working religions, and faith based religions, or more importantly the definition between the pair as defined by people now.
I do gravitate towards Buddhism, not for Buddha, but for the working aspect which is to me more in-tune with what's going down with self accumulation maybe ?
In the same time....
Buddhism, as far as I can tell in Asian Country's which hold Buddha as the high and mighty is false, self serving and plain wrong. I've posted what I think is an excellent video from the Dalai Lama pointing out that very fact in both Christians and Buddhist's.
Hot topic and I have many thought on it Gabes LOL
