Reply #13: The differences are superficial [View All]

When all is said and done Hinduism and Buddhism are still faiths, ideas independent of observable fact. Perhaps we find them more tolerable because they lack a formal hierarchy and a central dogmatic text, or because winning converts is not part of their grand agenda, but at the end of the day, Hindus and Buddhists still display many of the more abhorrent qualities of the dogmatic.

That said, if your gripe with Christianity is its emphasis on winning converts, then I understand your preference for the Eastern religions.
