My point is that I can find something good or fascinating from different teachings.
Buddhism, Confuscinism, Tao for example.
Why limit myself to focusing on one teaching exclusively.
It just seems that a couple of these fella's are obsessed with religion..and IMHO, that is a scary thing.
Once the obsession occurs, the chance of an individual becoming radicalised increases..to the point where they denounce any other religion/belief/teaching as being false.
Once that line is crossed , the next phase is entertaining the idea that a belief other than theirs becomes a threat...a threat that needs to be eliminated.
