I'd like to be able to debate this more but my written debating skills are not very good and I am not able to express my views as well as I would like to. I will just say this, you cannot make a definate view on either religion or athieism without opening your mind and trying to learn as much as you can about the whatever teaching they may have.
I try judging people on their personality, not race, religion, colour or even the sports teams they support! What I don't like are people who display such extreme negitivity about subjects like this, whatever side of the line they are on.
I know it may be splitting hairs but Buddha is not a god, he is considered a spiritual leader and teacher. I only know this because I recently watched a program on Buddha, not because I'm a know it all!
I know this topic is "serious business" but that made me laugh, good work.
