Is there any real effective difference between living in a Buddhist and a Christian country? The lifestyle is largely the same and conservatives of both espouse the very similar politics.
>>199209574Buddhists don't really proselytize
yeah, you're not surrounded by- oh wait, whats that? oh. yeah theres no difference
>>199209574Christianity doesn't really define or emphasize on detachment. Nor does it define the sense of self or ones place as an observer. I don't really see any similarities in lifestyle of either but if there are any, the motivations for them are totally different
>>199209574The Race that comprises the nation is FAR more important in determining factors. Christian Africa is a shithole because of subhuman niggers. Buddhist Sri Lanka, far better than their Hindu counterparts. Buddhist Afghanistan? Rich as fuck until retarded Muslims came in. Jews? No, just Sabbatean Frankist Khazar Satanist Pedophile Criminals.
>>199209850>Jews? No, just Sabbatean Frankist Khazar Satanist Pedophile Criminals.what
>>199209758Alright, so then... what's the difference between living in a Buddhist country and a Catholic or Orthodox country?>>199209821>if there are any, the motivations for them are totally differentMaybe, but I'm just talking about the surface level, not the core values. For example in a Muslim country the impact of religion on daily life is significant by comparison. Do Buddhists and Christians have any difference of that scale?
>>199209986>what's the difference between living in a Buddhist country and a Catholic or Orthodox country?Uh... Shouldn't your buddies in Myanmar give you a hint?
>>199209986I don't like this notion of comparing middle eastern religions to eastern ones. I think that if one camp calls itself a religion then the other is clearly not. The approach towards lifestyle and viewpoint of divinity is different. Outward appearances at this particular time frame is farcial. Would you still compare Siamese buddhism and Christianity in the10th century?
There cant be a more boring thread than this.
>>199209758clearly you haven't been on /his/
>>199210088remind me who exactly is fighting against the burmese buddhist state ?oh wait it's the usual suspects again christians and muslims
>>199210088Those are ethnic conflicts thoughever, similar to the Balkans. A war rooted in religious identity is not the same as a war rooted in religion.>>199210105>Would you still compare Siamese buddhism and Christianity in the10th century?I can't say for sure. Thailand has been semi-westernized for over a century and there's no way I can view any dynamics from a Christian-free perspective.>I don't like this notion of comparing middle eastern religions to eastern ones.I do agree the rigid Western perspective of organized religion is very different and doesn't compare well to what we have in this side of the world, but again I'm not talking about theological differences. The fact is that Muslims are obligated to live a very specific way of life, while Buddhists and Christians seem to live largely similar lives and the logistics of practicing the religion is identical (going to temple and going to church isn't any more complicated than each other compared to going to a mosque).>>199210211Are you a literal child?
>>199209574Why does Christianity has monastics when Judaism doesn't? Even the story of the Saint which Catholic and Orthodox church uses to justify the Monasticism is similar to the story of Buddha. Has Christianity took monasticism from Buddhism?
>>199211481Saint Josaphat of India is the saint I am talking about.
>>199210088Damn this goes hard
>>199209574All Abrahamists, including Christcucks, are icchantika and will suffer for kotis of kalpas.
>>199209574I'm sure it's more cultural differences than religious ones.
