[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christians are hardly the only groups who believe this.

Look at fighting between Buddhist, Hindus, and Muslims in Asia.[/quote]

Do Buddhists really believe their religion is the only true one and that everyone else will go to hell? I don't think so.

Don't paint these religions with such a broad brush. [/quote]

yes- ask hindus living in sri lanka.  Buddhism is just as varied in how it is interpreted as any other faith, there is just as much violence and intolerance and denigration of women in certain pockets of the buddhist world as in any other.  just b/c they don't believe in hell-doest mean anything since certain groups  think non buddhists lives are not as evolved and can be erased without any karmic consequence which is frankly more dangerous than evangelicals saying ppl are going to hell if they don't believe in jesus.  I'm speaking from a cultural anthro background and am neither christian, hindu or buddhist.  hindus in general are incredibly laid back and tolerant but there are some who kill people suspected of killing cows or unscheduled caste members who try to marry into a higher caste. [b]There are extremists in all religious groups b/c religion is used to control people and create order in societies. [/b]

ps he map thing is amazing !![/quote]

Sometimes it's used that way. Not always.[b] Religion can be a force for good.[/b] [/quote]

You can also have both good and bad without religion[/quote]
