That’s a valid question. I'm not a Christian if you got that impression I am truly sorry...for myself. I just don't like to see people try so hard to be what they aren't instead of just realizing who they really are. I don't think salvation for a Westerner comes from the East, and I would have to say nearly every "Buddhist" who starts off as a Westernized Christian, or Jew is simply lying to their selves once again. And I have to wonder why they would want to no just leave their religion, but then go to another one. I would have to imagine it is usually because people just like to be different and Buddhism is a way to do that... perhaps like Communism or Fascism. People who hate themselves can't accept anything about themselves, even the things that are good, and I think that is why you find so many Latte Drinking Blonde Haired Buddhists. Not because the religion holds any truth to them.
