Buddha is not really on person you know they been quite a few buddhas. They are not worshiped as gods and to make it clear to worship something as a god means that thing is a GOD!
Oh and Buddha is not a manifestation of God (with a capital). He was a man who achived enlightent and asented beyond the mortal need.
To claim that the the characters of another religion are just extment of your or is just so........I can't find the word so say just how it make me feel the only thing that spring to mind is a deep mouning shout of Urgisjuytnb![/QUOTE]O..... K....... Er... All I was saying is that all the religions I meantioned stem from the same God, not just MY God but everyones. My religion has just been created by his most recent Manifestation. Also just because Buddha didnt claim to be sent by God or a Prophet or Manifestation doesnt mean he wasnt.
Just bacause one religion has a God with 6 or so arms or a fat man doesnt mean they arent mentioning God. I have a simple and (hopefully) non-contraversial name for god; Creation! THERE! I will call God Creation just to make people think im not refering to only to the arrogance or Christianity in thinking that if anyone mentions God they must be refering to Christianity because there is no way other religions could have the same God as us! (In case you didnt notice that last sentence was dripping in sarcasm)
