Okay, I understand the World Media and Politics is in a conspiracy to propagandize your religion. Let me find some Chinese new articles.

But this was'nt the original story you tried to force down our throats with your own brand of propaganda. You made a blanket statement and listed all the Abrahamic religions as being violent and war mongering. But wait a minute, here are your exact words: "These religions are the sword, gun, bullet, murder, death and violent takeover." If you have ever actually read many of my posts, you would find I have already stated many of these things about many of these religions, and with more effectiveness than you. However, I was simply showing you that your religion has no claim to purity, pacifism and decency as you yourself have just now plainly stated. Like these other religions, your's has no problem going to bed with politicians and backing the so-called right side. In this very way, your religion is equal to Judaism, Christendom & Islam. Most do the same thing throughout history right down to this day. All four of most of those major religions today also believe in a firey damnation of Hellfire and Torment/Torture for the non-believers. I don't, but you four do. Here, let me show you a Buddhist artist rendered picture of the Buddhist version of their HellFire concept.
Here's a very informative link from the University of Idaho which helps explain some of the terminology of Buddhism and the so-called - "Hell Beings" - in the picture above, plus an explanation of other demons, Powerful gods and even lesser gods the Buddhists all believe in. - - - - ->>> Bhavacakra
Hmmmmmmm , did'nt someone earlier say that this was not a religion because they had no dieties ??? Everyone should also note that this info is strictly about the Tibetan Buddhism, which means the gentle though politically ambitious pacifist, Dali Lama who is worshipped as a god, also believes in these religious dogmas.

Actually, no I would'nt. My belief is that God's Kingdom is no part of this world and I don't involve myself in the politics/wars of any country. I also don't believe in pressuring any government to legislate my views and impose them on others. It's simply none of my affair. I actually do practice what I preach.

Couldn't you have done a better job than that? Maybe next you can show some Tibetan Buddhists clashing with Chinese soldiers and try to make them look like savages?
I'm not trying to make it look like anything other than what it really is. I think the truth out there does a good enough job of showing the world that they are no different than any other religion and have indeed done so for centuries. Let's see if we can find more articles about Tibetan Monk violence. Again, these are just the factual news items.
It seems as though this subject cannot be separated from its volatility and gains nothing by continuing. This thread is closed.
