>There are only two ways to worship. true or false. real or counterfeit. both can be found in nearly every religion. take mine for instance. a person flys through a white-out and crashes into a mountain.
This is the statement that I have a problem with.
How can anyone make such a statement about every religion. This is an absolute statement, made by a person on just on faith, covering all faiths.It does not cover my faith, it is an insult in my faith to make such an ego driven statement. How can someone of one faith decide that for every faith there are only wrong and right ways to worship.
No one has the right to judge my choice of worship, let alone tell me that there is a "good" or "bad".
There are many paths to Budda, any (many) can be valid for a specific person.
As a seperate issue, I feel the post was about an inch away from saying "There is only one path and it is mine" It is not a far step from stating
there are 2 paths to 1 path.This post shows no respect for the myrid religions that do not have such rigid ideologies
