I understand your aversion to preaching, but then why would you think poorly of someone who posts something in an appropriate forum, with a clear title. You knew what this post would contain, so why would you have a problem with it being available to those interested?

That isn't true. When was the last time a Jew or Buddhist came up to you and tried to get you to convert?
Jews don't try and convert per se, but here in this city they canvas the streets looking for "lost sheep" of the faith to rein in.

yeah, Jews just mainly convert other people's land

The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." - Tom Morello

of course he does. In their stories, god doesn't come from earth, thus is by definition an alien.

the only reason christ is so popular is because Constantine adopted it as the new roman religion. there are/were probably tons of people like christ or buddha. Muhammed was said to have a form of epilepsy that resulted in religious experiences. he was just in the right place at the right time with enough charisma to band a bunch of tribes together. there are kids around with the same form of epilepsy (if it is true that muhammed had it (check wiki)) but...well theres lots of reasons why they arnt considered prophets. so i guess my point is the big spiritual teachers had good pr and theres no reason to follow any of them and say that you're a christian or buddhist or jew because they all have pieces of the puzzle. I bet theres tons of non-pop spiritual teachers who are just as good as they are.
