Christanity is not a religion

So now everyone who says he/she is a Christian is now only a philosopher, according to the great expert, O'Reilly, and some of you responding on this topic.

Interesting, but stupid.

This is the best yet!!

Better to have a philosophy of there being a higher power than none at all.

Why?

Something the Dog Said wrote: In my understanding, Christanity is considered a religion, with schisms such as Protestant, Catholicism, etc. with sub schisms within each of those. To claim it is a philosphy, while Judaism is a religion is just not well founded.

What Fox and O'Reilly are trying to do is by claiming that Christianity is not a religion is to enable it to be endorsed by the government to get around the 1st Amendment.

And what would your understanding be of Buddhism, religion or philosophy?

Buddhism would certainly be a religion albeit not one within the strictures of western religion. But then again, that was Zen and this is Tao.

Western religion is a Business, millions are made and millionaires abound by bieng a christian. (look at the tube evangilists)
Also you have budhist who have learned they can become very rich by preaching inner peace etc.
(maharaji this and that spelling could be wrong.)
religion is for the weak.

To keep dogs like you in check of course.

What is the difference between a beliefs, philosophy, cult and religion in your words? (as just providing someone else's definition will be a good indication you don't understand or don't think that deep)

Well, since you're being a total d.b. Beliefs can and most of the time inter-twine with cult and religion. Philosophy can span all beliefs. State of mind is what your actually trying to get me to say, but I understand if you don't understand or don't think that deep. It's all the same man, on all continents, with the exception of some real radical stuff. Btw, I'm not any of the "mainstream" beliefs/religions/philosophies/ or cults. Over the last decade or so, I'm more of an Earthy type. To quell the NEXT barage, I don't put much weight into the "manmade warming" of Earth.
