After so many years, it is still sad to see that people always misconcept this:
Buddhist is not a religion, it is a teaching to guide you to lead a happy life, simple without 7 biggest sins of human.. greed, hate......
But misconcept makes that people think that we pray to certain god, is a buddhist..
Despite what people say, it is very shameful to say that, taoism is not really a religion after all.. if you read through the tao books and teaching, it is a way to respect our ancestor; and i believe that; it is ok to use incense to pray them; as a sign of respect, after all without our ancestor we will not be here either...
Guan Yu, Kuan Yin, or any other statue placed in temple; they are once ancestor that respected by all the people..
as i see, people always bring the issues of religion, is simple; because they don't understand it and simply choose to believe in certainty, yet not understand it...
christian and islam are beautiful religion, both of them are very well in creating a good human; but you see, during the era of christianity, how many church had modify the bible and to earn for their sake? I dare to say the bible originally is for people to believe in good way, without any extra issues like saying other religion as devil.. it's the man that changes it.. jesus himself never blame others for not believing him, instead, he proves it and he showed us how beautiful is god in christian..
and i do believe 1 thing, if you are a strong religion, so what if you don't do good deeds? you ain't going to heaven just because you pray for god but you kill and harm others...
if religion is an issue in relationship, then it's not worth it, after all it is not religion that creates the massiveness, it is the people who misunderstand religion that creates this.. religion should be beautiful, and not argument in it..
if people can understand their own religion very well, it will not create chaos even in a relationship... so i don't see religion as a real issue anyway, it's just the people who wants control over their partner create it.. same goes to family..
P.S: if you find my quoting on religion is against your belief, don't take and feel offended, it is what i feel for religion; and if you are a strong believer and understand your religion very well, you wouldn't shout like a devil
i believe u are a christian. (plz correct me if i m wrong). well, bible is good basically. but i did see thr are too many followers of God who have bad attitude (even use the name of God to do certain 'acts'). of coz not only christians but also other religions such as buddists and taosists. i respect the religions but not all the followers of the religions. i saw too many evern thy are having a good religion but yet still can do lots of harmful things. i really wonder why?? Buddhist is not a religion, it is a teaching to guide you to lead a happy life, simple without 7 biggest sins of human.. greed, hate......

that's why i hv lost my faith in religions. for many times, i almost decided to take one of the religions above. but in the end, i chose to be a free-thinker. a person who believe there are specific "Gods" for every religion and i respect them. i go to churches (methodist & catholic), to dharma classes, and 'fotang'. i did learn a lot. and owes apply the theories and practices in my life.
wat i wanted to say is, there is one subject in both primary and secondary schools. even nusery and lessons frm our parents! that's MORAL!! i learnt a lot of lessons frm moral and i think thy are very useful in my life. maybe u might thk moral is just a subject that teachers use to educate kids. but rmbr we were once kids. it just depends whether u really bare those lessons in mind. wiht moral, i try to be neutral and not be to biased on anything. (tell me, if i did). so, a person with a religion doesnt mean he/she wont do any harm on others.
p/s: truly didnt mean to be offensive. just sharing my views.
