I Didn't Know It Till Now.....But I'm Totally a Buddhist!!!!

Religion has always been a real sore point with me.

Sure, I was raised as a Catholic (Italian Dad, Irish Mom), but to me it was just like going to shcool......I couldn't wait till I didn't have to go church any longer after my confirmation.

So lately, with the way my life has been going, I thought that maybe I should consider getting back to some religion and faith, and I started to read the bible.
Now, since I don't want to get into some long dissertation tonight, I am going to sum up my feelings in the next paragraph regarding religion and the bible.

First , it always bugged me that wars and killing , quite often, are started because of religion , and in the name of God.  Then, after reading a few passages from the bible, I come to learn that Noah, and Moses, and Kane and Able, were all over a couple of hundred years old.  Well, that sealed it for me and God and religion.  If I was not a believer before I read the bible, just the first couple of pages nailed my coffin shut on that belief....and I don't think I am coming back to life......like some people.

I just happened across the beliefs and laws of Buddhism......and sure as shit, I am a Buddhist.

So all you saviors out there, I welcome all of your criticisms and your comments.  Don't be shy.  As a Buddhist, you will not offend me.
