To be honest, you should assume my knowledge of Buddhism to be 0. I only knows what my parents taught me and that too is very minimal and I suspect is a combination of Taoism since I know that Buddhism has no concept of worshipping gods.

This is made worse by the fact that religion and believes is at the bottom of the list of what is important to me in life. Religion(I know, Buddhism is a way of life) too is the least I am concerned about when making decisions since I already have more than enough to worry about. All my life, I am guided only by moral values and my own principles.

Wow... what can I say. Absolute identical on every little thing.
Back in schooling day, I would pray to make sure I pass my exams so I could spent more time on sports. But what did it got me, barely pass or fail exams.
The day I start forcing myself to the library everyday, I realized I can pass my exams just like that and still can afford to spend some time for sports even during my exam days.
Since then I told myself it's better to be a hardworking person rather than relying on something you don't see.
Set a principal in life. Go towards it. Nothing will be wrong. More importantly, show respect and moral to others and you receive the same in return.

if you are really interested,

you can try to read on a bit about the 4 noble truths and 5 precepts. a good way to start.  biggrin.gif

people will only think about religion when they are in danger, eg. dying, fallen sick..etc...

Maybe it's only me but I feel people shouldn't be selfish all the time or rather don't be selfish to certain degree which is unacceptable.
This point about thinking of religion when in danger is an selfish act and it doesn't seem sincere at all. Just how I feel.
