Science?....Religion?....or just Nature?


"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in the cosmic religion for the future: It trancends a personal God, avoids dogma and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity."
Albert Einstein

by definition religion deals with the nature of god. of course, buddha refused to address that topic as irrelivant to his mission. so it is NOT a religion. Seeing that science and nature cant be seperated it would be that. the four noble truths (the crux of buddhism) simply advise us how to better be in tune with life/existance by curbing our desires. furthermore, he insisted that noone believe or accept his teachings without exploring his findings in depth on thier own. what religion takes TAHT approach?
good quote to post. pass along the wisdom!

Any way you look at it religion is just a way of trying to get the masses to live, breath and think like someone else.

On a side note, is it me or have spammers found yet another way to annoy the crap out of people. I'm coming across several blogs' comments where people are putting their links to blogs that are buisness related (i.e. wedding photos and car stereo systems). They're like locusts, I tell ya!

PS: I found you through another blogger's site :)

Is there a box to check that lets people with other blogs (not just blogger) comment?
