Re: Another Bloody Discgrace
we are different than the other creatures around us. we have been honored by giving minds that we can use to think. we can use to explore. we can use to find our correct way.

I don't like any religion but Buddhism seems to show at least some common sense
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
