I believe Buddha was merely quoting Hastur.

I like the idea that Jesus spent the 20 years between debating rabbis and his own ministry going east on the silk road and learning Buddhism. I've always felt like base Christianity seems like Buddhist principles through a Jewish lens.

And Abraham Lincoln.

Misquote or not, it's a worthwhile one. I'm not religious in the least, but always thought the ideal of love your neighbor was a pretty good one. Even if they make noise after late hours and annoy you for reasons not just cause they are from a different culture.

Also yes I'm sure there are many quotes in the Bible that say otherwise but I think the idea of Christianity and new testament sort of surpassed many of those quotes. Not that many consider that, and I'm sure there's new testament quotes that go against it but I'll be honest I only was taught it in elementary and a bit middle school.

We need to get along if we have so many people around, is the idea I imagine. Not that they could imagine the cities of today.

Also Buddha's teachings are quite nice too. They have their issues, don't let their issues cause you distress but be helpful if you're able to. Least that's what I took of his teachings, also a good philosophy, least I think so. I did listen to a lot of Buddhist sermons and perhaps took some of them wrong but he appeared to be more live and let live, help others if they would like it, if not then no worries. If only all religions were similar to that.
