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)

Each of the religious teachings given by each of the Manifestations was ment for that time, to solve the troubles of that time. That is why there is so much of a gap and differences in all the religious teachings.

24 years ago a very good friend of mine went to the top of a mountain 90 some miles west of Xigase Tibet and spent almost 16 months with some guru that was something like 125 years old. anyway in his studies with this old man he learned that the Holy Bible had been altered by the prests in the Dark ages. He told him that the times in the bible that now were written as hundreds of years were really hundreds of thousands of years and that the prests of the times were unable to comprehend that many years because they did not understand anything about time, math or anything else other than what was verbaly relayed to them by others from their Church
The main reason being that most could not read but were good at art and the ability to copy the symbols from manuscripts and pages of books of which many were from the Holy Bible. well should they miss a zero here and there never seemed to mean anything more than just a minor variation in the art work so after a few hundred years of mystakes going by unnoticed and modern priests in the years just after the birth of Christ rewriting the Bible never would believe that what was written was wrong left the Bible the way it is. This could maybe explain why bone hunters have found the bones of man that date back 750,000 years. But who really knows? only the Dead know for sure and until then I'm not going to let it bother me one way or the other. Try to remember that the Holy Bible was written by man and the only thing god ever wrote was the 10 Commandments and thats the only truth. Or is it?

TheCrimsomBlade: HAHA! Well done! the bible is in fact a giant book of metaphors (that may be a bit presumptuous of me but everyone already disagrees with me anyway so why bother fighting it?) and those metaphors could have been messed around with, words replaced to be more "simple" but in fact cause GIANT problems in the future when people take the book as actual occurances while many of the things in it are metaphors.
