I'm a Christian, I want to know how to respond. By respond, what I mean is: know how to ask questions so I can better understand what they believe and why because I'm curious and I care about their well being-including spiritual stance. I have a few family members that are really getting into this Buddhist mentality and belief system. So, yea, I'm interested because I'm invested in the relationship I have with them, not because I want to condemn it. As a person who does not believe in these Buddhist ways, I can share just as openly and humbly, what I believe, too. When all is said and done, the real truth will reveal itself, and all will know. some Christians, meaning people who really have a growing relationship with a personal, loving God through the person of Jesus Christ, really want to know how to respond to American Buddhists.

Never saw the movie, but I appreciate the conversation... When trying to talk with christians it's important to remember they, if they are evangelicals at least, are always trying to "win," to convert, to evangelize. This makes it very challenging to have dialogue with this kind of christian. There are many christians who can chat about this stuff on a better wavelength, tho, so it's not a foregone conclusion that you'll be in a contest of smackdowns. Anyways... i'm trying to build up my vocabulary so's i can start writing about my spirituality... i seem to have come full circle, from son of a disfunctional family, to passionate evangelical, to enlightened pentacostal, to proud of my family vaguely mystic careerster... It's a route I really need to talk through and i'm glad of this post to remind me of that. Also, YOU SUCK METTA!! ha h aha... yea, got you pretty good there. "Are you seven?" <== Lol.
