Ah, I understand what you are saying because I hear it from all manner of self-proclaimed Buddhists....and yet, freedom of speech! You can call yourself whatever you damn well please! Maybe nobody will believe it, but you sure can do it. Heh. Buddhism has no say in the matter.

Yep. And I'm a bodacious bare breasted boofin' babe. But don't tell anybody.

What do you mean when you say "who makes a good point about that"?

I remember when I first became acutely aware that Christianity had engulfed Pagan rituals----reading Jitterbug Perfume in high school.

Can you tell me about other specific examples of religions emerging out of each other?

And who are you?
