You are correct. There is a difference between the holy catholic church and the ROMAN catholic church.

Catholicims does include all Christianity. While Roman Catholicism, is the religion with the pope.

I consider Christianity, Judaism, and Islam more or less the same religion. Same god is same religion as far as I care

sry but judasim doesn't believe in Jesus... the basis of Christianity (CHRISTianity) also islam believes in muhommad not Jesus

so i guess both of those are different religions.. no matter what you think..
just dissagreeing not arguing

Grunz..

Buddhism is NOT a religion!!!!!!!!!! Dont confuse a set of Believes with a dedication to God.

Buddhism is more a book of rules to live life by. A way of life that is in harmony with the world we live in, not a dedication to God.. They pray to Budda, not God.. They ask Budda for good weather and full crops, not God.

I go to Thialand for my holidays every year and Thailand is 80% Buddist.

My personal thoughts are that Religion should be banned world wide. More people have died because of religion than all the World Wars put together.

I was born Catholic but am now Agnostic.

Dog out............

All three believe in the same god, all three believe in Adam and Eve story and the creation story, Jesus was a Jewish messiah first and christianity intially a minor Jewish sect, Islam recognizes Jesus as a major prophet and so on. They are almost the same in my mind, far more similar than different in the basics.

"They pray to Budda"

sorry man this is also pattently false . budda is just a enlightened man really a position (since there have been several) , like jesus without the living god stuff.

number three from dictionary.coms definition of religion.

"3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader."

budda was a spiritual leader a fully enlightend man nothing more. you can pray to him i guess but it seems foolish to do so seeing as hes dead. i know im a buddist and i have never and will never pray to him.

you have seen the simplification of the religion for the uneducated masses, talk to the priests and you will get the actual story hopefully.

Dogma is not required to be a religion. look up the definition.

nice statue eagler! but i guess the logic is buddists build statues and lay flowers at their feet so they must worship them . following the same logic, since christians build statues of jesus and the profits and lay flowers at their feet the they must worship them also. i thought you guys were monotheistic ?

TOWD..

Pary to Budda should have read Asked. I know, was amongest Buddist and i did ask questions, i also read the Book of Budda. You guess it, in the drawer of the night table in my hotel. Yes, Budda was an enlightened man. They go on there knees with incence burning Asking Budda for help. Not God! Not a religion.

Oh and TOWD, we build statues of our dead and lay flower at the bottom. Does that mean our graveyards and memorilals are also places of worship?

Dog out.......

i agree that they do prostrait themselves befor budda but its pretty clear in the pertanent texts that this is directly as wrong as worshiping a statue of jesus or the saints but people do both.

as to why i guess people just like worshiping strangly shaped rocks ( like mecca )
