are 'atheists' taking over buddhism? Perhaps they are, since it is the one "religion" which Richard Dawkins didn't criticise heavily in "the God Delusion". cheers, ardenz

I just read this Forum's rules - NO Religion or politics in the lounge- :eek:

Fence-sitter:eek: , but thats the worst thing you can be called by an Atheist!

mmmm....both. Marise Ruthvern's book is well written and fairly unbiased. He traces the root of the term in American churches and its adoption to cover many other beliefs, whether secular or religious, so yes Fundamentalist Atheism is a possibility. I haven't read any of Dawkins' other books...

what might a Rastaferian have on their windowsill ? one too many

The God Delusion Richard Dawkins This book sort of brought me to this site - searching for the grey bits between the black and white Fundamentalism The search for meaning Malise Ruthven I read this a while ago and am re reading in the light of Dawkins. .......maybe a good Murder...

G-d !....so thats how it works...:eek::confused:

Culture, land, power and religion ! Yes it is sometimes difficult to step outside ones own culture and religion especially if traditions go back far enough. It is very glib to say "when we all believe in the same God, why the disputes " when history and tradition go deeper. I often think places...

As one of many products of a Catholic marriage in a Catholic controlled state, I am trying not to blow my top in relation to religion and birth control. The hypocrisy of the Catholic church to tell people how to live their lives, while within the church there were numerous scandals and abuses...

Sunny, I prefer this more openminded view. Modern times call for less restrictive thinking. I am tired of bullies telling me what things are, I prefer to discover for myself. Go on Paganprophet ...were waiting for your revelation.

I'm not sure where the Zero Point Theory is at, at the moment . I read a book over a year ago called "The Field" by Lynn McTaggart and followed it up with some internet trawling. Yes it is very interesting - making the connection with science and religion - conciousness. from publishers...

Mee, I am suprised that you are giving so many links to a particular religion's website. If one googles Jesus you get all the different points of view so as to form ones own opinion - and there is always Wikipedia Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
