ya when I read it for the first time, it was so different from
the god religion, in that there are no soul/self in Buddhism, which
is so different from their souls concept. first time in the history
of religion, that man can obtain salvation on his own, by his own
efforts. other religion require a god in order to obtain
salvation.
that's why it makes perfect sense................it's just like
going for an exam and believing you're going to pass despite not
having studied the whole year..................that's how
Christians are thinking..............
belief and faith as a short-cut............that's why
Christianity is so popular, thanks to their false promise of the
''easy way''................but then again, what do you expect from
a MAN-MADE religion.............created becoz of political
reasons.........
