I am a Christian and I do believe in God and I do believe Jesus is the son of god. there have been times where my beliefs have been questioned by anger/the devil/demons... I also believe that religious beliefs are personal. however I am also educated and do believe in the theory of evolution.. something that was pure Ludacris to some hardcore Christians 20 years ago. But science is something that has been proven and those who refuse to believe facts are lost. I also do believe that atheists are lost souls, hardcore muslims and religious fundamentalists are sick and uneducated people. I really cannot comment on Buddhism and eastern philosophies simply because I am not educated enough to their beliefs to do so. But one thing I have found is balance among the two beliefs... maybe I am the crazy one to think that Buddhists are TOO free spirited and Muslims are TOO controlled and set into routine. who knows
