You ripped the quote off from a Bahai site. Did you wonder why they'd posted it?? And do you know anything about incarnations? spin |

I'm still looking for an egg-on-the-face smilie for this sort of thing, ie persisting stupidity... It would be very useful for the "propheteers". (Rhymes with Mouseketeers.)

If the name "Jesus" meant "kindness" you would almost have an actual argument.
Apparently, some fellow named "Maitreya" which means "kindness". Didn't you read your own source? |

If there was ONE Christian church and ONE set of beliefs, then it might be an argument (for something, I guess), but there are hundreds of different flavors, most of which don't like or accept the other flavors. |

The Buddha was Hindu, originally. If that's even a halfway accurate translation os what he may have said, he would more likely be reffering to Vishnu or Shiva than Jesus. |

Kim Jong-il? L.Ron Hubbard? One could go on and on. And do you really think there aren't "many thousands" of Buddhists? |
