I see where you're coming from with the assertion that Bnelson isn't "talking crap." But, for the most part, I disagree. Saying a religion like Buddhism isn't "compatible" with Christianity is just flat out wrong when one takes a look at the trials of Buddha and Christ (although the results are quite different), especially when related to what each said to the world in terms of respecting the dignity of your fellow human.

Where Buddhism and Christianity don't seem compatible is in Modern practice, but that is hardly Jesus's or Buddha's fault.

Buddha was a teacher. Jesus was God Almighty. If Christ is all, the Alpha and the Omega, what does Buddhism have to offer?

[RobbyS]

Christianity is based on belief in a personal God, and that God is the creator of the Universe. The Buddhist would say that God is not a person, and is not a creator. Indeed, the creation is an illusion.

But they're simply not compatible. No question about it. First off, there's this whole "Jesus is God" thing. Jesus wasn't just some zen master, wise man, or righteous hippie.

Simply put, one cannot be a Catholic (or legitimate Christian) and be a good Buddhist at the same time, any more than one can be a Catholic and a Muslim at the same time.

If you really think it's trash talking or offensive to say this, then you're really too thick skinned.
