<<How many postings do you think we'd be seeing if he were drawing 
Zoroastrian/Tibettan Buddhist parallel lines?
Just a thought....>>

That was a good post, Thor.

But my answer would be, Just as many.  Let's not idealize the east.  

The East have had their religious wars too.

<<Isn't it possible to find wisdom and love and beuaty and meaning from 
somewhere other than Jesus, Buddha, etc.?

Dave>>

And the answer to this question would be, No :)  It isn't.  Our religious
traditions taught us what love, wisdom, beauty and meaning Is long before
we distilled them into philosophies.

If you dropped the etc. from your sentence, you'd get a lot more people
to agree with you, though.
